Nexus on-site measurement & PQ studies
On-site measurements and PQ studies by Nexus team or by our authorized service providers (global distribution network) is the process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting raw measurement data into useful information. The process of gathering data is usually carried out by continuous measurement of voltage and current over an extended period. The process of analysis and interpretation has been traditionally performed manually, but recent advances in signal processing and artificial intelligence fields have made it possible to design and implement intelligent systems to automatically analyze and interpret raw data into useful information with minimum human intervention.
Power Quality measurement devices used for PQ measurements are Harmonic Analyzers, Transient-disturbance Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, Data Loggers and Chart Recorders.
The findings of the power quality measurements and recommendations for possible solutions, if so required, are presented in post-measurement power quality report.
Objectives & Scope of power quality measurements
Nexus Power offer a broad range of engineering services in power quality such as:
- Detailed study of reactive power, power factor and existing harmonic pattern in the electrical system
- Simulation of electrical network, system using ETAP software and carrying out harmonic penetration studies
- Performance bench marking of equipment or plant
- Solutions to improve power factor and mitigate harmonics as per IEEE 519 standards
- Implementing the recommended solutions and verifying the results by doing re-analysis to ensure optimized system performance with fastest payback
- To help make the predictive maintenance
Customer benefits
A power quality audit performed by a specialized company can deliver several benefits for the industrial or commercial customers which includes but are not limited to the following:
- Improved insight into the plant and or equipment power quality, and identification of their current and parameters
- Enough data to back up and make well-informed investment decisions
- Correctly sizing and type the mitigation solution
- Avoiding unexpected outages
