FEATURE RESULT BENEFIT
Ordered power tab Calculating, by the algorithm, values of: optimal power level, power level without penalties and safe power level Possible reduction of the costs for ordered power
Boot profiles Recording boot profiles Avoidance of exceeding ordered power during facility start-up
Energy profiles Selection of active power waveform from any period of time for comparison purposes Possibility to compare active power utilization, in different periods of time, on a weekly basis
Electrical network anomalies monitoring In the alarm log, there are records related to the occurring events, e.g. dips, declines, increases The ability to track events on the grid that are related to the quality of supplied energy
Waveforms monitoring The user has the option to perform an analysis using multiple data from various sources on the timeline The correlation of events gives us the opportunity to detect dependencies in the process, which may reduce costs, e.g. by better understanding the process
Reactive power monitoring The platform presents records related to the course of inductive and capacitive reactive power, tg Φ, cos Φ Avoidance of penalties for reactive power and exceeding tg Φ, possibility of optimization
Harmonics monitoring Analyze the harmonics of both voltages and currents Avoid damage to the equipment and devices

Update 2022/06 

Reactive power in AC circuits is a magnitude that describes the pulsing of electrical energy between the elements of an electrical circuit. This energy is not converted into power or heat, but it is necessary for the operation of electrical machines. The energy is taken from the source during part of the period of the AC waveform, stored by the load, and returned to the source during another part of the period.

The occurrence of reactive power (inductive or capacitive) directly translates into expenses incurred by businesses in relation to electricity bills. Reactive power is represented by the parameter tg fi. This parameter should be between 0 and 0.4. If tg fi is not in the specified range, the energy supplier will apply a penalty for excessive reactive power in the utility's power grid.
The presence of reactive power contributes to a number of negative effects:
• the need to install generation and processing equipment with higher power ratings,
• forcing the use of devices with higher rated current and allowable short-circuit current,
• requires the use of larger cross-section cables,
• reduces the capacity of the power supply lines,
• increases active energy drops in transformers, power grids and consumer installations, increases voltage drops in transformers and supply lines.

Currently, the largest supported diameter of the cable on which the transformer can be mounted is about 30 cm. Using this type of transformer we can measure currents in the range from 1600 A to 6000 A.

Yes, a phase angle tracking algorithm φ is implemented using machine learning and will be implemented in IPOE.

The shortest measurement period required is a work week, a weekend and three days of the following week (so a total of 10 days). It is important that the measurement period includes the weekend. However, it is necessary to take into consideration the operation profile of the plant - if it is variable in time, the measurements should also include the time when the plant operates in a different profile.

Reactive power compensation in the power grids consists of the combination of energy loads in such way that the character of the grid meets the requirements for maintaining proper grid parameters. Generally speaking, an unfavorable power factor resulting from a large share of inductive loads can be reduced (compensated) by including capacitive loads in the power grid (or vice versa in the case of a predominance of capacitive loads).

Data are read from the instrument every second.

Yes, IPOE allows integration with a pv inverter. Thanks to the use of a bidirectional analyzer, IPOE gives full control over energy flows from and to the power grid, as well as provides instantaneous and archival data on energy production. Additionally, IPOE enables meeting the requirement of electronic excise register in the field of electricity production for entities that are obliged to keep excise duty records.

No, with the use of IPOE it is possible to monitor the consumption of gas, water, heat and cold.

• Real-time measurement,
• High scalability of the solution,
• Non-invasive installation,
• Optimization (of ordered and reactive power),

• Configurable KPI1* and dashboards.

 

* KPIs (key performance indicators) - key performance indicators or key measures of achievement.

Yes, the analyzers are certified to IEC 61557-12, the standard for measuring and monitoring electrical parameters in power distribution grids.

The range of applications of IPOE is very wide - from monitoring main power connections, through selected circuits, to individual lines or machines. There is also no limit to the number of analyzers, which work with IPOE.

To a large extent, the efficiency of electrical machinery and equipment.
