Power quality for data centers
Reliability and availability are key for successful data center operations
Ensuring reliable power quality through comprehensive analysis
High power quality (PQ) is vital for stable and efficient electrical systems, especially in data centers, industrial plants, and critical infrastructure. Reliable PQ analysis requires advanced monitoring, precise measurements, and expert evaluation based on recognized standards.
Integrated Monitoring and Analysis
The SENTRON Powermanager with the PQ Advisor module enables detailed PQ analysis compliant with EN 50160, providing continuous visibility into network performance and helping detect and correct irregularities early.
Accurate Measurement
For precise PQ assessment, Siemens recommends:
SICAM Q100/Q200 for PQ-critical points, delivering accurate voltage, current, harmonic, and transient measurements.
SENTRON Measuring Devices for overall energy consumption monitoring across the network.
Key PQ Parameters
Comprehensive analysis covers voltage sags, swells, deviations, harmonics, and transients at strategic locations such as infeeds, redundancy points, and critical loads. Continuous, long-term monitoring captures dynamic fluctuations and recurring issues.
Expert Evaluation
Applying standards like EN 50160 ensures reliable energy quality assessment. Siemens PTI Consulting offers expert PQ analysis, identifying risks and optimization opportunities for improved stability and reliability.
Conclusion
Siemens’ integrated solution - SENTRON Powermanager, SICAM Q100/Q200, and PTI Consulting - delivers precise, standards-compliant power quality management. It helps organizations reduce downtime, protect equipment, and enhance energy efficiency and sustainability.
