APLICAÇÃO NO MUNDO REAL

Análise e gestão de qualidade da energia

Problemas na qualidade da energia podem causar sérios danos aos seus equipamentos de TI. As soluções da Siemens medem, analisam e detectam anomalias em tempo real, usando análises avançadas para evitar interrupções, reduzir o tempo de inatividade e garantir operações confiáveis e ininterruptas.

Desafio

A qualidade da energia é um fator frequentemente negligenciado no tempo de atividade de data centers. Em grandes edifícios, as energias renováveis aumentam a volatilidade da rede e a geração no local torna a distribuição mais complexa. A baixa qualidade da energia pode causar falhas no equipamento e tempos de inatividade custosos.

Solução

O monitoramento da qualidade da energia integrado diretamente ao seu sistema EMS ou BMS ajuda a antecipar interrupções. Os instrumentos de qualidade de energia detectam anomalias e enviam esses dados de volta ao sistema de gestão energética, permitindo uma ação proativa.

Medição

Instale medidores de qualidade da energia em vários pontos da rede de distribuição de energia para medir parâmetros críticos, como tensão, harmônicas, flickers e transientes.

Análise

Avalie os dados coletados para determinar se a qualidade da energia elétrica atende aos padrões aceitáveis.

Identificação

Detecte desvios em relação aos padrões, indicando possíveis problemas, como flutuações de tensão ou harmônicas.

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.

Com o SENTRON Powermanager, proteja o tempo de atividade medindo tensão, harmônicos, flickers e transientes em sua rede. Obtenha maior confiabilidade analisando dados para confirmar se a qualidade da energia atende aos padrões exigidos. Evite falhas dispendiosas detectando flutuações de tensão ou harmônicas precocemente. Aja mais rápido com monitoramento contínuo e alertas em tempo real para gerenciar interrupções. E mantenha-se à frente com análises avançadas que previnem problemas antes que eles impactem as operações.

Consult with experts

Discuss operational goals, uptime targets, and key performance indicators with experts such as Siemens PTI consultants. Identify where power quality measurements are required, such as grid infeed, automatic transfer switches, UPS systems, distribution units, cooling systems, and server racks.

Plan and design your solution

Define the power quality monitoring architecture and determine optimal placement of measurement devices. Ensure the design supports relevant standards, redundancy requirements, and open communication protocols such as IEC 61850 or Modbus TCP.

Deploy and scale your solution

Install power quality instruments such as SICAM Q100/Q200 at critical points in the power distribution network to capture parameters including harmonics, voltage sags and swells, transients, and frequency variations.

Monitor, analyze and report

Use SENTRON Powermanager with the PQ Advisor module to visualize power quality data, analyze disturbances, and create reports based on EN 50160. Dashboards support real-time event tracking, ITIC diagrams, and harmonic analysis. Integration with Desigo CC combines EPMS and BMS data.

Case Study

Power quality recorders connected to the BMS

Company: Greenergy Data Centers

Location: Estonia

Siemens solutions: Integrated BMS-EPMS, power quality, white space cooling optimization (WSCO), low voltage power distribution

With their own 110 kV substation feeding power directly from the grid, Greenergy Data Centers implemented an integrated BMS–EPMS platform to monitor their power quality across HV/MV, LV, UPS, and third-party devices. The EPMS is connected to the network provided by their customers, and it all communicates with the BMS system.

Siemens provided not only the necessary hardware and software, but also the technical solution consulting throughout the project. Learn more!
