You might not know it,
but Schneider Electric
is just about everywhere
in your environment,
helping you get the
electricity you need.
The traditional electricity
grid flows in one direction.
Like an expressway,
high voltage power lines
carry electricity from power plants to
distribution stations and transformers,
where the voltage is stepped down.
From the transformer,
electricity continues its journey
along the grid to consumers.
Schneider Electric Solutions can detect
and analyze volts, run command systems,
and protect the grid and its equipment
from lightning and short circuits.
Software connected to the equipment
is used to supervise and manage
the grid, ensuring a reliable
supply of electricity
wherever and whenever it is needed.
But the way the traditional
grid works is changing.
The electricity market is undergoing
a profound transformation.
You may be wondering why.
Electricity is a valuable
and costly resource,
and it takes innovation to produce
electricity more efficiently
and use less of it.
So what does all of this mean?
We are making the transition
from fossil-based energy
to locally-produced renewable energy.
Consumers needs are also expanding,
and new devices connected to the grid
are appearing.
And people's behavior is
changing, with consumers
playing an active role in the grid.
The energy transition affects everyone,
and everyone is getting involved.
So we are no longer managing
a one-way flow of electricity.
Today's grid is smart.
It is capable of
absorbing and processing
flows of electricity
between multiple points
and a continuous flow of information.
And who better than Schneider Electric
to support the transformation?
With connected products to
secure electrical distribution
for a reliable available
power supply, with software
to supervise and manage
equipment in real time,
and smart capabilities to optimize
both production and consumption
and to manage, schedule,
and predict maintenance
for all of the equipment on the grid--
all of these solutions can be
found in our EcoStruxure platform,
a solution developed to support
digital transformation and energy
and automation system management.
For electricity that is safer, more
efficient, reliable, and sustainable.
