Web Monitoring of Data from Dranetz-BMI 7100 PQNodes^® and PQPagers^®

Power quality monitoring is an essential way to ensure optimal performance of both utility and customer power systems. Monitoring is a highly-effective way to detect, solve and even prevent power quality problems, thus avoiding the equipment malfunctions, facility/process downtime, and damage to the utility-customer relationship that they can cause. Probably one of the best approaches to power quality problem-solving is to have monitoring data available on a continuous basis to utility and customer personnel, regardless of location.

In response to this need, Electrotek Concepts^® is pleased to introduce WebPES^TM. Offering the full data visualization capabilities of Dranetz-BMI's Power Evaluation Software (PES) used in the 7100 PQNode and 3100 PQPager, WebPES allows utilities and power customers to view and collectively analyze data from multiple instruments installed at different sites.

Using WebPES with the Dranetz-BMI PQPager provides both event notification and Web-based viewing of power system disturbance events.

WebPES uses a Web server to make power system disturbance data available to engineers, customers, and other personnel who need quick, constant access to that data. All the user needs to view the data is an Internet/intranet connection and access to any standard Web browser. This eliminates the need to purchase instrument-specific software and train personnel in using it. In addition, software maintenance is simplified because the data resides on the server. Updated data and any required software updates are loaded on the server, rather than on individual workstations. And since the data is available on a read-only basis, its integrity and security are ensured.

WebPES offers the full viewing functionality of Dranetz-BMI's Power Evaluation Software over the World Wide Web.

Because WebPES is designed to work with the 7100 PQNode and the PQPager, setting up a Web-based monitoring system with these instruments is a snap. Simply place monitors at each location where data is to be gathered, such as the building service entrance or on a primary bus, and detailed power quality disturbance and harmonics information is literally available at the click of a mouse.

Users can select date and time range of interest for a particular instrument and then choose an individual event for further review.

WebPES's architecture allows users to perform general and specific studies and analyses of power system disturbance events. If a user wants to look at events from a week ago, he or she enters a password, selects the sites of interest, and the date/time range of interest. Once desired options are selected, an event summary table is displayed. From this table, the user can select and view specific voltage or current phases for an event. Trend data is also available upon command.
