Cell has leading expertise in specifying and analysing power quality for issues.  Some common tasks we will typically be asked to complete include:

• Load condition reporting
• What load is on the system
• What power factor (pf) is seen
• What harmonic content is present and does it meet Australian Standards
• Flicker assessment
• Voltage profiling
• Fault or event recording for troubleshooting
• Maximum demand assessment
• System profiling to ensure connection agreement supply is accurate.

Ensuring optimal power quality is a fundamental aspect of any electrical system, and at Cell Engineering, we recognise its significance in maintaining reliable and efficient operations. Here’s how we address power quality challenges:

1. Collection of data with calibrated industry instruments.  Cell has several in-house Fluke PQM meters we use for data collection on our client sites.
2. Analysis of Test Data: Our team thoroughly analyses test data to assess the power quality of your system. This analysis provides valuable insights into the system’s performance, highlighting any deviations or anomalies affecting its stability. We can identify areas that require further investigation and fault-finding by carefully examining the data.
3. Recommendations and Corrective Actions: Based on the analysis results, we provide recommendations for investigation and fault-finding to address any identified power quality issues. Our experts guide you in implementing corrective actions to rectify the problems, ensuring the voltage and current supplied are within acceptable limits.
4. Power Factor Correction: We specialise in power factor correction, which involves adjusting the system’s reactive power to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. By optimising the power factor, we enhance the system’s performance, minimise losses, and lower electricity costs.
5. Harmonic Analysis and Mitigation: Non-linear loads can introduce harmonic distortion, affecting power quality. Our team performs harmonic analysis to identify the presence of harmonics and their impact on the system. We develop effective mitigation strategies to minimise harmonic distortion and maintain a stable power supply.
6. Transient Event Management: Transient events, such as power surges or dips, can disrupt the system and lead to downtime or equipment damage. We implement robust monitoring and management systems to detect and mitigate transient events promptly, ensuring the continuity of service and protecting your equipment.

Power quality is a complex issue that demands a comprehensive approach. At Cell Engineering, we combine data analysis, corrective actions, and ongoing monitoring to address power quality challenges effectively. We aim to optimise your electrical system’s performance, enhance efficiency, and ensure a reliable and stable power supply.
