An energy management system (EMS)
requires gathering and collecting meter data from
PDU allowing operators to regulate, monitor, and improve the
performance of the PDUs. Additionally, remote power panels (RPPs) can be
utilized as an extension of PDUs to add extra circuits, boosting the power
distribution capacity. As a result, it's crucial to keep an eye on the circuit
breakers and current transformers to guarantee that power is balanced across
all circuits.
Smooth and efficient power
distribution requires a reliable connection between the EMS and power components
like PDUs and RPPs. Here are some tips and suggestions you may take into
account to make sure there is consistent connectivity.
Do you require new construction or are you in the process of retrofitting? Understand your developmental stage!
- Are you planning to deploy a new PDU or retrofit an existing one?
- Does the space allow for your wiring design?
- How many PDUs are you going to connect to the network?
Lower Your Installation and Maintenance Effort
A simple
networking solution can help you save a great deal of time and effort. Wiring
can be challenging when connecting lots of PDUs to a single network. As an
effective wiring solution across several PDUs and RPPs to the EMS located in
the control center, Ethernet cascading is one feature you should look for in
your connection solution. Your networking devices may periodically need backups
and upgrades even if your PDUs and RPPs are active. Device configuration and
maintenance can be made easier if your connection solutions include
user-friendly software tools.
Keep improving operation reliability
Power
consumption calculations can be miscalculated when meter data is lost due to
unexpected network failures, which results in incorrect billing and incomplete
data for analytics. You must think about backup strategies from several angles
if you want to increase the reliability of your power monitoring system. begin
with the networking devices. Features
like dual power inputs and high EMI immunity protect your networking
equipment from disturbance. Develop a
redundancy system for your network communications next. The market offers a
variety of network redundancy features. Check the recovery times of these
selections to see whether they are suitable for your power monitoring
application.
