New features, more applications with PQube 3 Power Analyzers PSL Symposium Prague Jun 2018
New features, more applications with PQube 3 Power Analyzers Data Centers UPS Monitoring Utilities grid operators, DER/PV integrators Utilities & commercial /industrial Manufacturing Healthcare facilities New product (summary) New features (summary)
Data Centers Problem solving: Explain, justify costly investments in design for reliability – during design and during operation Problem solving: measure & optimize power profile optimization up to four (4) 3-phase PDUs NEW ! Problem solving: Prevent PDU overloading (breaker trips) ---- Load shedding ---- colocation /shared hosting / in-house
Data Centers NEW Load shedding: CRAC = computer room air conditioning Firmware 3.7.0 Q3 2018 NEW Load shedding: Turn OFF CRAC units before the PDU overloads (circuit breaker trip) and Turn CRAC units back ON when the overall consumption is back within limits CRAC = computer room air conditioning
Data Centers How load shedding works Ex: 2 threshold load shedding Consumption (PDU load) CR AC #2 OFF Relay 2 Trigger threshold Hysteresis Relay 2 Return Threshold CRAC #1 OFF Hysteresis How load shedding works Ex: 2 threshold load shedding Watts Relay 1 Trigger threshold Relay 1 Return Threshold Up to 4 X 3-phase loads or up to 8 thresholds … Relay 1 Active Relay 2 Active
Data Centers Load shedding works with relays… which relays? RM8 – 8 relay output module Up to 2 modules …. 16 relays
Data Centers Impact of earthquake on specific racks/equipment: The “shake” is not identical from one rack to the other Detect seismic wave impact or mechanical shock impact – LOCALLY
Data Centers : who to sell to ? PDU RACKS UPS POC GENSET
Manufacturing: alarm & control New! RM8 + PQube 3 or PQube 3e 8 additional relays 1+8 = 9 relays New! PQube 3r PQube 3 with 3 additional relays 1+3 = 4 relays
Utilities: grid operators, DER/PV integrators Problem solving: insure generation performance remains in compliance with regulations during and after commissioning Voltage /VAR response Voltage/ frequency ride through Net /import /export energy Solar and environment conditions Grid stability : real time measurements, phasor measurements – > New! GRID ANALYZER
Utility Grid operators, DER/PV integrators
Monitoring UPS performance Problem solving: identify root cause of power outage Did the UPS work properly? NEW! : Input AND output power monitoring NEW! : assess UPS equipment performance = efficiency! Firmware 3.7.0 Q3 2018
Monitoring UPS performance With PQube 3e and VAT1-600! Option: Battery bank monitoring
Monitoring UPS performance
Utilities, oil/water treatment industries Problem solved: integration of PQube 3 analyzer with existing SCADA systems Communication protocol : DNP 3.0 (IEEE 1815-2012) Level 1 – polling data points Level 2 – alarm when value exceeds a dead band. (configured by the DNP3 client application) Level 3 – encryption (version 3.7.0) DNP3 opens door to larger bids…
Utilities and industries (Europe, Asia, South America) Problem solving: reduce time, training & personnel to prepare and review compliance reports EN50160 embedded reports Condensed summary Sent by email.. daily, weekly.. Compliant New in 3.6.X ! Non compliant
