In today’s energy-driven world, ensuring optimal power quality is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of electrical systems. Power quality issues—such as voltage sags, harmonics, transients, and other disturbances—can lead to significant equipment damage, unplanned downtime, and financial losses. Traditionally, addressing these issues required localised power quality meters and manual inspections, which were time-consuming and prone to human error.
However, the rise of cloud-based power quality metering solutions is transforming the way businesses, utilities and facilities monitor and manage their electrical systems. Especially crucial these days are renewable energy generation systems. Cloud-based power quality solutions offer continuous, real-time monitoring of power quality metrics, enabling rapid detection of anomalies and facilitating proactive maintenance. One such solution leading the way in this transformation is eXpertpower, SATEC’s cloud-based energy management software.
What Are Cloud-Based Power Quality Metering Solutions?
Cloud-based power quality metering solutions involve the use of advanced hardware (such as power quality meters) that monitor critical electrical parameters like voltage, current, and frequency. These meters send real-time data and stored waveform records to a cloud-based platform where it’s processed and analysed for any irregularities or trends that may indicate power quality issues.
Unlike traditional on-site solutions, cloud-based platforms provide the convenience of remote access, allowing operators to monitor systems across multiple locations, from anywhere with an internet connection. They also enable the use of advanced analytics for predictive insights, cost reductions and enhanced decision-making capabilities.
