solutions offer maximum safety, whilst optimizing project cost and maximizing plant performance. Energy management for lower carbon footprint L&T helps customers manage their energy demand by both, offering products that inherently consume less energy as well as solutions that meter, monitor and control for improving energy efficiency in buildings (commercial & residential complexes) and industries. At the product level , with the latest generation of ACBs and MCCBs -U-POWER Omega and d sine MCCBs with Matrix trip units, one can do comprehensive energy metering and demand management. These devices are communicable on multiple protocols and can be integrated with any systems. At system level, through 'i-Vision Max' platform, an Energy Management System (EMS) solution is offered for complete a plant or an industry, an SEZ or a township. The entire network can be mapped with individual feeder level control. All electrical parameters and energy demand can be measured from unit level (ACB/MCCB), Bus level and feeder level. It has comprehensive reporting and trending facility. It also offers advanced features like 'economic energy' sourcing based on the tariff, in case energy is being sourced from two or more sources. Further, a complete load forecasting can be done based on the past data. It also has an asset management tool wherein all the assets of a plant can be tracked for spares and automatic maintenance alerts. L&T's MO Contactors have energy efficient coils that result into low watt loss. Similarly, the T-ERA range of switchboards incorporates a new busbar design that offers a high level of energy efficiency. Innovation for enhanced customer value Any innovation is the outcome of research and development activity that is a more than four decades old practice at L&Ts Electrical and Automation business. With focus on economic advantages and positive social impact, L&T has been offering innovative products and solutions in this space that address safety, performance, reliability and efficiency in a manner that helps sustain business and maintain leadership. MCOMP is India's first indigenously designed & manufactured, affordable motor protection relay and is the first relay to be certified by Profibus International. This has consolidated L&Ts leadership in solutions for motor protection. L&T's answer to the world of feeder protection is the FCOMP which is India's first feeder protection relay. The T-ERA switchboard has a host of innovative features which helps to reduce its environmental footprints by optimizing material usage, saving space and reducing energy consumption while in operation. mi-Energy is a first-of-its-kind, DIN rail mounted electrical meter with the convenient feature of being easily mountable on any distribution box. Our Single phase Tri-Vector electrical meter has an innovative in-built feature that helps in easy collection of data using indigenously developed Low Power Radio technology. The 6300A U-Power Omega Air Circuit Breaker is the most compact (width of 647mm for 3 Pole and 847 for 4 Pole) with state-of-the-art touch screen technology in its Matrix protection and control units. This makes Omega a slimmer and smarter solution for commercial and residential buildings where space is a constraint. Fr-O is another compact solution for rating up to 1600A with Matrix protection and control unit. It is an ideal product for DG set OEMs and buildings wherein depth is a constraint as well as for units ed package substation. The automation interface in our MO contactor has been designed India for the first time and will cater to global standards. Their appealing design and visual styling uniquely blend aesthetic with reliable performance. L&Ts newly launched MOC Contact is the first of its kind designed and manufactured in India. The Dsine range of MCCBs with next generation matrix protection and control units are indigenously designed to offer state-of-the-art protection for feeders and equipment like transformers and DG sets. L&T has brought out a software based Resource Management Solution.- i Visionmax Resourze - That helps facilities to monitor and report and take conversation measures for energy, water, electricity and gas. In the field of renewable energy, L&T has developed new products solutions for solar thermal and photo voltaic systems. L&T's Building Automation solution offers integration of various systems like fire, energy and safety making it convenient for user from homes to commercial buildings. 22
