SICAM power quality

Why power quality matters: Stability creates reliability

Many electronic devices and automation systems in industrial production plants are sensitive to voltage variations and dips in the power supply that are often caused by the unexpected connection of energy sources, such as renewable energy and large energy consumers. The production systems themselves can also cause faults and feed them back into the distribution system. The risk? Plant shutdowns and production loss. The answer? Power quality. Power quality needs to be continuously measured and analyzed so that unexpected risks can be detected early on.

Power meter devices

Power monitoring systems support simple monitoring tasks as well as more complex tasks like power trending, controlling, and identifying sources of energy consumption and the load profiles of power supply segments. They allow operators to allocate costs and further reduce energy costs for specific equipment.

Fault recorder

The complexity of electrical power systems has increased, making the monitoring of wide areas essential. Fault recording and wide-area monitoring involve understanding the conditions in the wide area while analyzing the fault location, protection behavior, and system stability, and monitoring the phasor measurement. In this case, fault recorders and phasor measurement units (PMUs) are used.

Monitoring and diagnostic products

Increased awareness of energy efficiency means that more and more attention will be paid to the quality of supply. This means that it’s essential to select evaluation systems that are designed to support all areas of an analysis application. Siemens provides a seamless system software portfolio that provides for all the necessary power system evaluation applications.
