PQ SAPPHIRE

Features

Real Time Overview
View all measurement points on a live geographical map with real time data and general statuses. Each measurement point has two statuses:

• Electrical: Green as long as the electrical conditions at this specific measurement point are according to preconfigured grid code
• System: Green as long as the measuring device is at operation condition.

In addition to the live map, 3 widgets are available to display the status of the electrical network:

• Power quality: the power quality widget displays a list of measurement points that are in violation of preconfigured grid code. A link to map or investigation is available for quick access.
• Disturbances: the disturbances widget displays a list of short predefined events that have happened during the last hour/day/week/month. A link to map or investigation is available for quick access.
• System: the system widget displays a list of system messages/warnings about operation condition. A link to system module for further investigation is available.

Power Quality Analytics

The power quality module shows at a glance the status of the entire network or individual measurement points for a selected period of time. The power quality conditions are configurable and can meet any grid code. Multiple compliance conditions can apply to a single measurement point for comparison. A comprehensive report, based on the power quality compliance conditions, can be easily generated from the power quality module.

Single Interface, any Device

PQSCADA Sapphire is an open, fully programmable platform designed with customization, extensibility and ease of integration in mind. With an open and flexible platform, PQSCADA Sapphire supports many levels of
customizations from simple end user configurations to XAML styling and full coding.

Data Visualizations

The PQSCADA Sapphire PQ investigation module offers numerous chart types to choose from such as column/bar, stacked column/bar, multi-level pie, line, curved line, scatter plot and curved area. It calculates 5,000 different power quality parameters based on the capture waveform and many other great features.

Investigation

The investigation module graphically presents trends, histograms, events lists, summary tables, and statistical summaries of any stored parameters. It allows the user to analyse voltage sags/dips, swells, interruptions or any other incident. Each investigation includes multiple views and charts that can be easily exported to MS Word with predefined templates, a PDF file or to be stored as an image on your computer. Sharing an investigation between users of the system can be done with a single mouse click. PQSCADA Sapphire Multi-site investigation allows you to simultaneously view data from many different sites or instruments, to compare data from various locations or times in the same chart. PQSCADA Sapphire’s unique capability to store continuous waveform recording from PQZIP enabled devices or temporary events recording from standard meters using COMTRADE and/or PQDIF file formats makes Event Analysis comprehensive yet easy to achieve. Sophisticated event detection capabilities enable the user to configure events of any measured parameters and/or IO ports. The event mechanism supports out-of-limit events as well as rates of changed limits. Events can be configured with multiple thresholds and conditions with multiple parameters. Another feature of the event mechanism is the ability to aggregate multiple events with logic operation between them. The PQSCADA Sapphire will find events according to user defined thresholds during post-processing.

Benefits

Multi-vendor Support
PQSCADA Sapphire acquires, processes and stores recorded data from any recording device through a variety of communication protocols and file formats. PQSCADA Sapphire simplifies your IT environment by eliminating the need to purchase, install, train users and maintain multiple systems.

No Missed Events
PQSCADA Sapphire has sophisticated event detection capabilities enabling the devices to record only raw data. PQSCADA Sapphire will find events according to user defined thresholds during post-processing.

Access Information from Any Location
PQSCADA Sapphire data can be reached from any location using standard secured, firewall friendly protocols.

Get Notifications
PQSCADA Sapphire can be configured to send emails, SMS and pop-up notifications to users according to pre-configured scenarios.

Easily Fix Misconfigurations
PQSCADA Sapphire allows you to correct device installation and configuration errors by recalculating recorded data. Reverse Polarity, swap phases, connection type, VT/CT ratio and time inaccuracy can be corrected easily for both past and future measurements.

Reporting & Compliance Are Easy & Flexible
PQSCADA Sapphire has a flexible reporting and compliance engine allowing the design of report templates and compliance policies according to various standards or custom requirements. Reports can be generated manually or scheduled on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. Reports can also be triggered by compliance policy violation, or the occurrence of an event.
