May 2, 2005—Power Measurement has unveiled its latest innovation in enterprise energy management: the ION EEM PQ module. Available as an option to the company’s ION EEM energy management software, the “power quality” (PQ) module provides the tools to help large businesses analyze their power quality quickly and efficiently, which in turn can help improve system reliability and control related costs, says the company.
Suitable for electric utilities as well as large commercial and industrial facilities, the PQ module can greatly improve productivity by automatically classifying power quality events, instantly analyzing multiple events and helping to group or link them to a single root cause.
In addition to its data-reduction capabilities, the PQ module can also help businesses to benchmark overall system performance versus industry standards, verify the effectiveness of reliability upgrades, and analyze any disturbances or events to help protect power-sensitive equipment from damage, the company says.
An enhanced charting functionality allows energy managers to correlate any disturbances with variables such as time of day, production schedule, phase, geography, load, and more. A powerful browser-based waveform viewer allows users to analyze waveforms and assist in determining root causes of the events. Its Internet-compatible architecture makes system information available to all authorized users, anywhere, through a standard web-browser.
