Configure the Monitoring Devices

 

The Power Quality Performance module relies on power quality measurements taken by the monitoring devices in a system. It processes these measurements using back-end analytics functions and VIP framework logic, and produces outputs that are displayed in Gadgets, diagrams, and reports.

The module depends exclusively on historical data in the database. It does not use real-time data from the devices directly. The back-end analytics does not modify the historical source data in the database. The data is read from the database, processed, and then displayed.

The Power Quality Performance can do its analysis only if the monitoring devices (power meters, circuit breakers) have been properly configured to capture power quality events and disturbances. This section describes the following:

• Enable power quality event detection.
• Enable power quality disturbance logging.
• Enabling time synchronization.
