Benefits of PQ analysis software

• Save time
• Reduce the number of points to analyse through
  data aggregation
• Identify problems through classification
• Share data analysis over a web-based platform
• Analyse events at multiple sites concurrently by
  overlaying waveform captures and aligning
  trigger points

10
More benefits of PQ analysis software

• Identify cause
• Classify events for filtering and reporting
• Group events by colour or symbol to see which
  types cause problems
• Create views and reports of
• Customer-caused events
• Utility-caused events
• Planned events
• Unplanned events
• Weather-related events

11
More benefits of PQ analysis software

• Demonstrate improvement
• Benchmark system performance to industry
  standards
• Trend performance over time and share with
  customers as a value-added service
• Support performance-based rates
• Satisfy regulators
• Provide proof of return on investment for
  capital expenditures (either yours or your
  customers)

12
More benefits of PQ analysis software

• Increase revenue
• Gain competitive advantage by guaranteeing
  customers a power quality threshold
• Add value to your service by providing customers
  a view of their power quality
• Implement performance-based rates to increase
  revenue

13

IEC 61000-4-30 Class A measurements

• For electric utilities Class A results ensure
  that power quality data being reported to
  operators, customers or regulators, is accurate
  and auditable, and that system improvements are
  recommended based on reliable data.
• For regulators Class A results ensure that
  reports from separate utilities will be
  consistent and system performance can be
  compared to worldwide benchmarks.
• For consumers Class A results ensure that both
  the customer and utility will agree on the level
  of power quality provided, avoiding costly
  investigations should any disputes arise.
• Our Power Standards Laboratories (PSL)
  certificate, test report and letter prove our
  compliance to the IEC 61000-4-30 Class A
  requirements.
