Eliminate Guesswork: Accurately Size Backup Power Sources with Real-World Data
This white paper explores the complexities of sizing backup power sources, highlighting the challenges posed by incomplete equipment data and the risks of relying on assumptions. It demonstrates how PMI's PQ Canvass and monitoring tools provide precise, real-time measurements‚ such as real and apparent power, power factor, and inrush current‚ enabling more accurate and confident backup system sizing. The paper also discusses the importance of considering voltage sags, power quality, and starting currents for sensitive and critical loads.
Key topics include:
- Real vs. Apparent Power: The Sizing Dilemma
- Using PQ Canvass to Fill in the Blanks
- Advanced Measurements and Reporting
Why utilities should care:
Accurate backup power sizing minimizes equipment risk, reduces unnecessary overspending, and ensures operational continuity. Leveraging real-time measurement tools streamlines planning, improves reliability, and supports compliance with evolving power quality standards.
