EPMS

A complete Electrical Power Management System (EPMS) solution

Affinity Energy specializes in Electrical Power Systems. EPMS provides the feedback facilities need to reduce inefficiencies related to power delivery and energy consumption.

EPMS System & EPMS Project Management

Electricity should never be treated as a fixed expense.

Electricity is a variable expense based on production levels, headcount, season, and other factors depending on the type of facility. It’s crucial to measure and monitor your electricity, just like you would any variable expense. There can be a cost associated with poor quality of power: unexpected downtime, damage to sensitive equipment, or even worse, safety risks.

An EPMS (Electrical Power Management System) is a valuable tool that allows an owner to have peace of mind regarding their power and energy systems. It’s a tool you can use to manage capacity, visualize how electricity is distributed throughout your facility, and analyze historical data to find any power problems and adjust based on your findings. It provides very granular, real-time information from your equipment and environment, allowing you to assess and respond to abnormal conditions in a timely manner.

Why Choose our EPMS Services

At Affinity Energy, we have a long history of designing, programming, installing, and commissioning electrical power management systems (EPMS). We are a turnkey solution provider with experienced engineers who take your project from conceptual design to full implementation.

Our approach to designing an EPMS system is centered on information accessibility and reliability. Through the collection and monitoring of critical data, we maximize the ability of our customers to identify expensive problems, provide greater visibility into power reliability assets, reduce operating costs, decrease maintenance scheduling issues, and increase uptime.

As an open systems solution provider, we utilize many of the industry’s best-of-breed components and EPMS software, including Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert.

We focus on four areas of expertise:

  • Substation Automation Affinity Energy provides real-time tools for managing electrical distribution equipment such as substations, transformers, generators, transfer switches, motor control centers, and variable speed drives. By improving information, customers can make better engineering and business decisions.
  • Power Quality Monitoring Our EPMS systems provide owners with the diagnostics they need to proactively address potential electrical problems such as disturbances, harmonics, poor power factors, and system unbalances. They also help owners perform accurate root-cause analysis.
  • Critical Facilities Monitoring Our EPMS systems provide very granular information from your equipment and environment, allowing you to assess and respond to abnormal conditions in a timely manner. They can direct alarms to personnel, building automation systems, or other enterprise systems such as work order and network management.
  • Submetering Customers can allocate electrical costs by system, process, or tenant.

The value of EPMS

EPMS is extremely valuable to mission-critical facilities concerned with crippling downtime. By staying on top of electrical distribution, trends and analysis can alert to any power quality issues before they turn into big problems.

What Our Clients Say About Us

AE_Icon_Quote

The base wide electrical power management system (EPMS) SCADA system developed by Affinity Energy (formerly Affinity Automation) is an indispensable part of our electrical distribution system. It’s based on a virtualized, redundant Wonderware SCADA architecture that gives our Marine Corps Air Station maintenance personnel a secure, reliable, and easy way to manage our medium voltage substation equipment similar to an electric utility. Now maintenance takes half the time, and unexplained downtime has virtually been eliminated.
