Power monitoring software gives insight into electrical system health and energy efficiency so you can make informed decisions that improve performance. Convert data into action and unlock your system’s full potential with advanced energy visualization and analysis tools.
Award-winning EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert (PME) is purpose-built to help power-critical and energy-intensive facilities maximise uptime and operational efficiency.
As key edge control software in an EcoStruxure Power solution, PME is the window into your digitised power network, taking advantage of IoT connectivity and distributed intelligence.
Keep people and assets safer
EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert helps you put electrical safety first, reducing hazards and supplying the technology to prioritize safety.
• Monitor breaker protection settings and ensure proper breaker operation and fault isolation to avoid safety hazards
• Monitor arc-flash risk and arc fault alarms
• Detect abnormal conditions, such as rising busbar temperatures, that represent a risk to safety and operations
• Protect patient safety in hospital operating rooms by monitoring and locating circuit insulation faults
Optimize business reliability
and continuity
EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert helps keep the power, and your business, running so you can focus on what matters most: business operations. There is a significant increase in sensitive electronic systems and devices requiring guaranteed uptime and have no tolerance for power quality disturbances.
• Understand the cause of events affecting your electrical system using advanced power forensics, including smart alarm clustering and graphical events timeline
• Identify power event patterns to avoid or mitigate future occurrences
• Monitor protection settings to ensure proper isolation of faults to avoid system-wide power outages
• Analyze the aging of breaker contacts to avoid failures and enable proactive maintenance
• Track system capacity to avoid overloads and make sure backup power systems are able to handle loads in case of an outage
Maximize operational lifecycle efficiency
It’s important to identify underperforming electrical assets, process bottlenecks, and identify high-performing areas. With EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert you can quickly perform formal audits, metrics analyses, and cost allocation to help you quickly evaluate operations in your facility.
• Use energy benchmarking to reveal opportunities and baseline comparisons to validate savings
• Use trending and energy modeling to identify abnormal usage of energy and other utilities (WAGES)
• Avoid power factor and peak demand penalties
• Use shadow billing to identify utility bill errors
• Enable participation in demand response programs by tracking consumption patterns and managing loads
• Create accountability by allocating costs to departments or processes
• Analyze equipment performance to support proactive maintenance and extend the lifespan
• Reveal unused system capacity to avoid upgrading or overbuilding
Simplify reporting and compliance
A single business can generate millions of compliance data points quickly. With EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert you can aggregate this data across multiple processes or facilities and generate compliance reports that meet ever-changing standards and identify KPIs.
• Align with energy efficiency and green building standards (e.g., ISO 50001/2, SEP, LEED, NABERS)
• Track energy performance indicators (EnPI) as per ISO 50006 (e.g., kWh/ton, kg of CO 2/ton, kWh/m3 of water pumped)
• Verify utility/grid service and internal compliance to power quality standards (e.g., EN50160, IEC 61000-2-4, IEEE 519, ITIC)
• In healthcare facilities, ensure regulatory compliance with backup power system testing (e.g., NFPA 110 and others)
• Comply with common IT practices (password management, whitelisting, preferred browser) and align with cybersecurity best practices (e.g., IEC 62443 4-1 and 4-2 SL1 Certified)
As power grid technology becomes more dynamic, systems more complex, and regulations more challenging, EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert brings unique new capabilities that make it simpler to protect people and assets, keep operations running, and save time and money.
