Power Quality & Energy Management

Home 5 Power Quality & Energy Management
Plant Floor Control

Power quality and energy management (PQ&EM) play a critical role behind the scenes, but many operations fail to recognize how these areas impact their production lines.

Power Quality and Energy Management Services

Malisko designs and deploys systems for monitoring power quality and energy consumption. These systems can help manufacturing teams identify surges, root causes of excess use and more. Our team specializes in monitoring for all types of power — water, air, gas, electricity and steam. Our expertise covers areas such as:

  • Monitors for quality, harmonics, waveforms and flicker
  • Dynamic electrical power sag correction and notification
  • Flow, pressure and temperature meters for water, gas and air
  • Web-enabled tools to capture, store, analyze, correlate, manage and share energy data
  • Power conditioning for improving true power factor, reducing harmonic distortion and reducing voltage notching

 

The Advantages of Power Quality and Energy Management

Power quality and energy management solutions lead to major advantages for manufacturing operations, including:

  • Reduced costs: Poor power quality and energy management may lead to higher energy costs that add up over time. With PQ&EM automation, you can leverage data to improve energy usage and reduce energy costs significantly. Based on Energy Star’s research, most companies can achieve about a 10% reduction in energy with energy management solutions. Consider how this reduction will save your operation money.
  • Minimized risk: Sensitive equipment can fail with poor power quality, leading to more downtime and a higher rate of equipment replacement. PQ&EM solutions can identify changes in performance and show your operation how to act to minimize these risks.
  • Increase efficiency: When your equipment operates smoothly, your output improves. Our PQ&EM solutions can help you improve efficiency over the long term. Studies on the oil and gas industry have uncovered that digital technologies like PQ&EM could boost the discovery of oil and gas resources by 5%.
