Challenge

Harmonics, voltage sags, transients, and other power anomalies can corrupt sensitive IT equipment, impair power delivery, shorten the lifespan of electrical infrastructure and even affect surrounding buildings. As data center power systems become more complex - with renewables, power electronics, and fluctuating loads - these disturbances are becoming more frequent and impactful. Severe issues can even disconnect your data center from the grid, highlighting the importance of proactive monitoring.​

Solution

Power quality monitoring continuously measures and analyzes electrical parameters across the power distribution network. By detecting disturbances early and identifying their root causes, operators gain the insights needed to take corrective action before they impact uptime or equipment reliability.​

Identify common sources of power
quality disturbances​

Worst case, power quality issues can cause a disconnection from the distribution grid. It is therefore crucial to understand exactly which components are causing the problems. Common weak spots are the MV infeed and Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), LV main power distribution units, UPS, cooling systems, or the power feed to the racks. Monitoring these locations helps operators detect disturbances early and understand their origin.​

Prevent costly downtime​

Early detection of voltage disturbances, harmonics, and transients helps operators identify potential failures before they impact critical IT operations.​

Support compliance with standards​

Automated analysis and reporting help demonstrate compliance with relevant power quality standards such as EN 50160, IEC 61000 or IEC 61850. ​

Protect electrical infrastructure​

​Continuous monitoring prevents hidden power quality issues that can damage equipment or shorten the lifespan of transformers, UPS systems, and power supplies.​

Improve energy efficiency​

Reducing harmonic distortion and other disturbancesminimizes energy losses and improves the overallefficiency of electrical equipment.​

Increase transparency

An integrated BMS and EPMS delivers visibility into electrical, cooling, and environmental performance, enabling operators to correlate disturbances, run analytics, detect anomalies faster, and manage infrastructure holistically.
