PQ VISION Software Package

Software package for continuous power quality monitoring, analysis and reporting, independent of the measuring device manufacturer.

PQ VISION is a software package for power quality monitoring, analysis and reporting in distribution and generation systems and for large industrial consumers. It connects measuring devices from different manufacturers into a single system, automatically collects and processes measurements, and produces reports per EN 50160. It consists of server applications that collect, process and report in the background, and the PQ VISA client application for review, analysis and parameterisation.

  • Vendor-independent

    Connects measuring devices from different manufacturers into a single system using standard communication protocols and open record formats (avoiding vendor lock-in).

  • Client-server architecture

    Server applications run in the background (collection, processing and reporting), while multiple PQ VISA client applications can run simultaneously.

  • Automatic collection & processing

    Automatic communication-based retrieval and storage of recorded measurements, with processing and computation of quality parameters; already retrieved files are not downloaded again.

  • EN 50160 analysis

    Automatic power quality analysis per EN 50160 using a sliding 7-day window; heatmap view for a quick overview of many measurement points.

  • Reports & export

    Automatic generation and delivery of user-configurable reports, plus export of data and charts to standard formats (PDF, Word, Microsoft Office, images).

  • Measurement & event analysis

    Review of live and recorded measurements, events (dips, swells, interruptions), disturbance recordings, harmonics and energy via graphical, tabular and phasor views.
