Power Quality & Energy Management
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%.

Our Approach to PQ&EM
At Malisko, we tailor our solutions to your operation’s goals. With our step-by-step approach, we gather the information we need about your operation and execute your project with streamlined processes.
Site Assessment
Before changing your PQ&EM strategies, we need to know where your operation is right now. Through a site assessment, we learn about your processes, goals and challenges to understand how our tailored solutions will play a role. We work with your engineers, operations and maintenance staff, and other essential personnel to understand these areas. We also work with your team to understand the best approach to collaboration.
Front-End Engineering Design (FEED)
FEED is an essential step in planning your PQ&EM solutions. Our team will develop a broad strategy related to various technologies, so we can meet your goals, reflect your budget and stick to your preferred timeline. We’ll also account for your current production realities to create a plan that works for your operation.
Our FEED is subject to change as your goals do. We adjust as needed so your foundational plans always reflect your requirements.
Detailed Design
During the detailed design phase, we take what we’ve learned from our site assessment and FEED to define your project’s details. These details include:
- Designs
- Acquisitions
- Development
- Specifications
- Troubleshooting
- On-site execution strategies
- Support of the security, control and network layers
When this phase is done, you’ll have detailed documentation explaining your solution from start to finish.
Project Execution
For the project execution stage, we implement the plan we created as efficiently as possible. During implementation, we prioritize ease for your team. Our experts will program all functions in your system, set up an intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) and create a reporting process to keep your team on top of production.
We thoroughly test your system in a simulated environment before installation to ensure it meets your performance requirements. After installing your technology, we’ll run additional tests to ensure the system performs well in your facility.
Validation
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires Computer System Validation (CSV). Malisko ensures your team complies by handling all CSV paperwork and reducing your regulatory risk. With a Validation Master Plan (VMP), we guide our processes and cover all required areas, from test plans and operational protocols to summary reports. This validation process helps us deliver a high return on investment (ROI).
Post Project Support
As your long-term partner, Malisko supports you after project execution. Our engineers can provide troubleshooting and maintenance support, remote assistance, and technical support when needed.
