What are some practical uses of power quality monitoring data?
There are numerous uses of power quality monitoring data, all of them dependent on the depth, range and accuracy of the generated data. The Signature System™ captures critical power events that typically are missed by other monitoring systems, addressing both power cost and quality. In addition, its analytic capabilities provide answers — not just data — to address key power quality issues such as what triggered a disturbance, what the impacts of the disturbance are, and what needs to be done to prevent future occurrences. Beyond the expected uses of identifying power quality disturbances, the data generated by the Signature System can be used for a range of other uses. Among them: • Predictive Maintenance By “seeing” the continuous performance of equipment and systems, cost-efficient maintenance procedures can be developed and implemented. • Cost Management Power use can be adjusted quickly and loads can be shifted based on data that correlates power use and cost and that provides the
