Energy Measurement
Measurement at All Levels
To gain a comprehensive overview, it's essential to collect energy data at all levels. Additionally, it must be considered that smart energy distribution networks require more powerful measuring technology than conventional systems.
A comprehensive overview of the networks is key to successfully implementing the energy transition and its many challenges. This requires collecting energy data at all levels.
The required measuring technology’s performance depends on the demands. For example, smart energy distribution networks require more powerful measuring technology than conventional systems. The measurement level also plays a role. For instance, measuring technology in a transformer station must meet different requirements and tasks than measuring technology in a substation.
Janitza offers customized, scalable solutions with high-quality technology for these applications. Collecting energy data at all levels brings numerous benefits:
- Faster fault analysis
- Solid basis for network planning
- Data foundation for automation and control devices
- Increased availability: Reducing downtime
- Reduction of transmission, distribution, and non-technical losses
- Management of distributed energy generation (e.g., photovoltaic, hydroelectric)
- Voltage regulation in substations
- Compliance with regulatory and tariff requirements (documentation obligations)
- Monitoring of power quality (e.g., according to EN 50160)
- Controlled integration of new technologies (e.g., electric vehicles, energy storage)
