New product (summary)
New features (summary)

3. Data Centers
Problem solving: Explain, justify costly investments in design for reliability – during design and during operation
Problem solving: measure & optimize power profile optimization up to four (4) 3-phase PDUs
NEW ! Problem solving: Prevent PDU overloading (breaker trips) Load shedding ----
colocation /shared hosting / in-house

4. Data Centers NEW Load shedding: CRAC = computer room air conditioning
Firmware Q3 2018
NEW Load shedding:
Turn OFF CRAC units before the PDU overloads (circuit breaker trip) and
Turn CRAC units back ON when the overall consumption is back within limits
CRAC = computer room air conditioning

5. Data Centers How load shedding works Ex: 2 threshold load shedding
Consumption (PDU load)
CR AC #2 OFF
Relay 2 Trigger threshold
Hysteresis
Relay 2 Return Threshold
CRAC #1 OFF
Hysteresis
How load shedding works Ex: 2 threshold load shedding
Watts
Relay 1 Trigger threshold
Relay 1 Return Threshold
Up to 4 X 3-phase loads or up to 8 thresholds …
Relay 1
Active
Relay 2
Active

6. Data Centers Load shedding works with relays… which relays?
RM8 – 8 relay output module
Up to 2 modules …. 16 relays

7. Data Centers Impact of earthquake on specific racks/equipment:
The “shake” is not identical from one rack to the other
Detect seismic wave impact or mechanical shock impact – LOCALLY

8. Data Centers : who to sell to ?
PDU
RACKS
UPS
POC
GENSET

9. Manufacturing: alarm & control
New! RM8 + PQube 3 or PQube 3e additional relays
1+8 = 9 relays
New! PQube 3r PQube 3 with 3 additional relays 1+3 = 4 relays

10. Utilities: grid operators, DER/PV integrators
Problem solving: insure generation performance remains in compliance with regulations during and after commissioning
Voltage /VAR response
Voltage/ frequency ride through
Net /import /export energy
Solar and environment conditions
Grid stability : real time measurements, phasor measurements – > New! GRID ANALYZER

11. Utility Grid operators, DER/PV integrators

12. Monitoring UPS performance
Problem solving: identify root cause of power outage Did the UPS work properly?
NEW! : Input AND output power monitoring
NEW! : assess UPS equipment performance = efficiency!
Firmware Q3 2018

13. Monitoring UPS performance
With PQube 3e and VAT1-600! Option: Battery bank monitoring

14. Monitoring UPS performance

15. Utilities, oil/water treatment industries
Problem solved: integration of PQube 3 analyzer with existing SCADA systems
Communication protocol : DNP 3.0 (IEEE )
Level 1 – polling data points
Level 2 – alarm when value exceeds a dead band (configured by the DNP3 client application)
Level 3 – encryption (version 3.7.0)
DNP3 opens door to larger bids…
