SICAM power quality – great benefits for minimal investment

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.

Product portfolio - Everything you need for optimal power quality

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.

Transducer

Take advantage of current, voltage, and harmonics monitoring as valuable performance values for planning and operation. It will allow you to increase the availability, efficiency, and reliability of the power system.

Power quality recorder

Using information from all connected power quality devices and reporting functions is essential for detecting and responding to system and power quality problems and service disruptions. Reliable data analysis and effective information generation are top priorities in this context.

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.

Highlight products The key to continuously improving the power supply is precise knowledge of local system conditions based on information from all the available sources connected to the system. Siemens offers a complete portfolio for network monitoring, power quality recording, fault recording, phasor measurement, and system software applications.

Power Quality Recorder - Power Quality Analyzer

SICAM Q200 power supply analyzer: The multifunctional recorder

SICAM Q200 is an extremely versatile power supply analyzer for recording and evaluating power quality in electrical power grids. It also offers special algorithms and functions for energy management applications and ensures the continuous recording and analysis of all relevant parameters. The results help define and implement appropriate measures to maintain supply quality at a level tailored to the needs of the consumer. Your benefits include reduced downtime and an extended service period for your equipment.

Power Quality Advisor Compact: The knowledgeable advisor

You don’t need to be an expert to be fully informed about your power quality.

The Power Quality Advisor Compact is the advisor at your side offering sound knowledge.

The easiest way to monitor your power quality is to connect
SICAM power quality recorders to the Power Quality Advisor Compact software. You’ll receive valuable information on how and when power quality has been disturbed and where the disturbance originated – externally or internally.

PQ Advisor Compact

Energy monitoring and management systems

Keeping an eye on energy consumption offers benefits on numerous levels. A systematic power monitoring raises awareness about actual power consumption and is therefore also an important prerequisite for more energy efficiency.

For a future-proofing production SIMATIC Energy Management-Software provides comprehensive, integrated energy management from field level to management level.

Power Quality Analytics - Detect anomalies

Power Quality Analytics is an innovative and scalable digital service to detect disturbances, prevent damage to equipment, and reduce outage costs in electrical grids. The application of modern AI algorithms supports the evaluation of PQ recorder data by identification of abnormal states, evaluation of their criticality and possible disturbance sources.
