Powermanager Reports Workspace

The powermanager reports provide models of daily electricity usage so that you can distribute loads and avoid demand peaks. This enables you to allocate energy consumption and/or costs to individual areas and identify expensive processes that need attention. The reports feature compiles data from load circuits over a user-defined period. This enables the user to fully utilize the power distribution system and run at near rated tolerances.

In Engineering mode, you can work with powermanager reports using the Configuration tab.
