Energy Management For Electrical Systems  Doing more with less
seems to be the order of the day (and the future) for most
companies. Technology that helps you kill several birds with one
stone is a good way to be getting it done.  The cost of doing
business is not getting any cheaper, especially for energy-
intensive industrial businesses. To remain competitive in an
environment of ever-increasing operational costs, large
processing plants and factories are finding new ways to do more

through improved electrical energy management practices.
Although the cost and quality of electricity can significantly
