Unlocking Accurate Power Flow Insights: Consumption vs. Generation in Modern Grids
This white paper explores the critical distinctions between power consumption and generation, focusing on how ProVision software and PMI monitoring devices capture and report real, reactive, and apparent power. Through detailed analysis of measurement methods, report types, and the impact of smart grid devices, it demonstrates the importance of signed power values and proper instrumentation for reliable energy management and decision-making.
Key topics include:
- Introduction: Power Flow in the Smart Grid Era
- Understanding Power Types: Real, Reactive, and Apparent
- Measurement Techniques and Data Capture
- ProVision Reports and Graphs Explained
- Power Consumption: Metrics and Reporting
- Power Generation: Monitoring and Analysis
- Best Practices for Accurate Power Flow Measurement
Why utilities should care:
Accurate differentiation between consumed and generated power, enabled by advanced monitoring and reporting, supports effective energy management, billing, and integration of distributed resources, while reducing errors and improving operational transparency across the grid.
