Abstract :
The current use of power management systems for industrial electrical power distribution and utilization systems is examined and their benefits, functionality and costs are presented with examples. The functionality in commercially available systems is mapped against the recommended location of devices within the industrial electrical power system. System architecture considerations and equipment and installation costs are discussed; venture guidance analysis costs are given. An argument is made that all potential users must be involved in the system for it to have the maximum return on investment. A process flow chart to facilitate cost effective implementation of the power management system is also provided
