    How Thermal Monitoring Reduces Risk of Fire More Effectively than IR Thermography

    For many years, scheduled infrared thermography inspections have been the accepted method for reducing risk of fire by identifying faulty or loose connections in electrical distribution systems. Continuous thermal monitoring offers a safer, more effective way to detect thermal risks on a system-wide, 24/7 basis. The method also delivers up to a 10:1 return on investment due to avoided equipment damage and downtime.

    Using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to Manage Power System Reliability

    Businesses are finding themselves drowning in a sea of power monitoring data. Today’s systems collect too much data — managers have trouble extracting the critical “nuggets” of useful information on power reliability. This paper discusses how taking a key performance indicator (KPI)–based approach to power monitoring allows personnel to focus more on strategic goals, translate data into actionable intelligence, and get more comprehensive insight into power reliability and “see the forest for the trees.”

    Using Color Codes to Simplify Power Quality Analysis

    Even when power quality monitoring systems are in place, studies show users often have limited knowledge of power quality and its impact on equipment and installations. Thus, they may not fully understand, analyze and exploit power quality measurements. This paper introduces simple greenyellow-red (G-Y-R) indicators to gauge power quality issues; markers based on recognized power quality standards and statistical analysis, fully integrated in a power quality monitoring system. This paper also introduces a power quality rating that summarizes global power quality level within a facility.

    The Cost of Power Disturbances to Industrial and Digital Economy Companies (EP, Electric Power Research Institute)

    The importance of reliable, high-quality electrical power continues to grow as society becomes ever more reliant on digital circuitry for everything from e-commerce to industrial process controllers to the onboard circuitry in toasters and televisions. With this shift to a digital society, business activities have become increasingly sensitive to disturbances in the power supply. Such disturbances include not only power outages (the complete absence of voltage, whether for a fraction of a second or several hours), but also power quality (PQ) phenomena (all other deviations from perfect power, including voltage sags, surges, transients, and harmonics). EPRI's Consortium for Electric Infrastructure to Support a Digital Society (CEIDS) contracted Primen to conduct a national survey of business establishments to quantify the cost of power disturbances to industrial and digital economy firms.

    Predictive Maintenance Strategy for Builiding Operations: A Better Approach

    Maintenance costs account for almost as large a percentage of a facility’s operating budget as energy expenses. But usually this money is spent inefficiently with a reactive “wait till it breaks” approach. This paper shows how a proactive, predictive maintenance approach coupled with analytics can reduce a building’s maintenance and energy costs by up to 20%. The pros and cons of different approaches to maintenance are discussed, as well as practical guidance on deciding whether to develop a smart services plan in-house or outsource it.

    Securing Power Monitoring & Control Systems

    Hacking critical control systems for power networks is increasingly making headlines as exemplified by power grid threats in the Ukraine and Israel in late 2015 / early 2016. By applying best practices to power monitoring and control systems, security vulnerabilities can be reduced. This paper introduces the potential risks posed by hacking, identifies common system vulnerabilities, and provides strategies to mitigate against hacking. It does not, however, guarantee that it will prevent all future hacking.

    Mitigating Risk using Power Management Systems

    Because electricity is a key commodity for business it represents significant financial risk. Still, many power management systems remain isolated and separate from the rest of the business enterprise. The result is poor access to incomplete information, with only limited knowledge of risk exposure. An integrated, comprehensive power management system that includes metering, software and power quality mitigation equipment offers the most holistic, systems-based approach to managing this risk exposure.

    Impact of LED Lighting on Power Quality

    Lighting represents a significant portion of global energy use, in some cases approaching 10% of all electrical consumption. Thus, replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs, which use 75% less energy, offers a viable energy efficiency opportunity. However, because LEDs are non-linear loads they can have a significant impact on power quality. This paper reviews those concerns, and assesses the impact of power quality disturbances on power quality.

    How Predictive Maintenance for Circuit Breakers Optimizes Safety, Reliability and Costs

    Circuit breakers require regular maintenance to ensure electrical safety, comply with safety regulations, and avoid costly facility downtime. Typically, this maintenance is performed at regular intervals, which do not account for usage patterns or environmental conditions. This paper explores how IoT and analytic technologies enable a condition-based, predictive approach that can increase levels of safety and reliability while tailoring maintenance to optimize costs.

    Guide to Using the IEC 61557-12 Standard to Simplify Measurement Plan

    Many facility owners and managers are setting up measurement plans to gather the broad range of information needed to improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and ensure power reliability. To collect this information requires power metering and monitoring devices (PMDs) that go beyond the capability of the traditional revenue meter. Up to now, choosing the best PMD for each application has been difficult due to the lack of common references between vendors regarding accuracy, operating conditions, and quality. This guide will help electrical system designers use the IEC 61557-12 standard to more easily specify the appropriate devices needed to support an effective power and energy management plan.

    Automating Emergency Power Supply System Testing

    The testing of emergency power supply systems (EPSS) in hospitals plays a critical role to ensure backup power is available when needed. This testing is usually done weekly or monthly and depending on the jurisdiction, different regulatory bodies dictate the parameters of the test. Most commonly, diesel engines are used as prime movers for emergency power supply generators. While diesel engines are known for their reliability and fuel efficiency, it is critical that the testing is carried out within certain limits to make sure that the reliability is increased rather than decreased as a result of the testing.

    Verifying the Health of Backup or Emergency Power Supply Batteries

    Emergency power systems rely on batteries to deliver power at the right moment, in order to start a generator or to run a UPS in the event of an outage. Neglected batteries, however, are the most common reason for backup power failure. This paper discusses how automated testing systems provide precise functional assessments of battery health, and how such systems prevent unnecessary failures.

    Impact of leading power factor on data center generator systems

    IT devices may exhibit electrical input current with a characteristic called “leading power factor”.  This situation may cause back-up generators to become unstable and shut down.  Furthermore, a data center that is operating correctly for a long time may suddenly develop a problem as the IT load changes over time, or during an unusual event.  This means that it is important to understand the margin of safety and correct for this condition before it happens.  This paper explains the problem, why and how it occurs, and how to detect and correct it.

    An Overview of Transients in Power Systems
    Electrical transient voltages can originate inside an energy consumer’s facility or out on the utility’s grid and can propagate through various levels of electrical and data systems. Sources of destructive transient voltages can range from the obvious, such as a lightning stroke during a thunderstorm, to the subtle, such as static discharge from a human finger. Transient voltages can cause problems and effect your electrical power systems, but through using advanced metering techniques, you can identify potential transient issues.
