PQView®
Stationary measurements with PQView® are possible thanks to a power quality software that maps a complete power quality management system by integrating multiple measuring devices from various manufacturers. Due to the many possibilities, the software is mainly used by larger distribution network operators.
PQView® Features
A fully interactive & responsive e-design allows you to view PQ data and manage PQI from any phone, tablet or computer.
PQView® collects data from multiple PQDMS instances for analysis or even manages communication across multiple monitoring systems.
PQview® is the “single point of integration” for devices of different brands and models – you use uniform analysis tools regardless of the PQI brand. PQView® can already integrate over 50 different data handlers.
The Power Quality Data Analyzer (PQDA) is a desktop application and is used for advanced fault analysis. The reference source is the PQView® measurement database.
The Automatic Reporting System (ARS) creates automatic reports in Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat PDF format. These reports summarise PQ campaigns or create individual reports, e.g. according to IEEE 519, IEEE 1453, IEC TS 62749, EN 50160, etc. In addition, user-defined and individual reports can be generated.
The PQView® Management Service is a Microsoft Windows service for managing PQView® resources (i.e. each PQView® measurement database and respective PQDMS instance) and manages access to these resources.
In a grounded network, the location of a fault as well as the direct analysis can be carried out. Such a function is realised by means of the FaultPoint® Add-In Module. FaultPoint® combines three functions: (1) fault detection of waveform samples, (2) impedance-to-fault (impdance-2-fault) estimation, and (3) display of the presumed fault location using interactive online diagrams and maps.
PQView® is designed to use appropriate software services as well as server-based architectures. This allows PQView® to import data, create dispatch reports and export data and analyses as required.
QWeb 4 defines the application of the PQView® in a web browser. Thereby, interactivity is established via HTML5 and JavaScript and thus offers responsive services and availability.PQView® is available in 3 variants:
- PQView® Express
- PQView® Standard Edition
- PQView® Professional Edition
Interesting facts
It is important to note that software solutions always have a project character. Time and budget must be made available depending on the characteristics of the possible solution. This is not only because of the increasingly complex IT infrastructures and individual security barriers. Therefore, proper planning based on a realistic definition of objectives is fundamental. A software project “out-of-the-box” or as a “box-shifting-item” is not very realistic and leads to delays, increased costs and frustration on both the supplier and the customer side.
