Power monitoring systems: What they are and why you need one
Power Monitoring System (PMS) is a key tool to control energy usage in the present scenario, energy efficiency is critical for both enterprises and households. These systems enable users to track energy use and environmental impact, as well as identify opportunities for energy savings, real-time data and analytics. A comprehensive power monitoring system can fit into the above-mentioned needs for the organizations to reduce energy costs and improve performance. A power monitoring system works by measuring the electrical parameters (voltage, current, frequency power factor) at various locations in a building or a plant. It is further analyzed and insights are extracted regarding energy usage patterns, peak demand, and wastage of energy in certain areas. It can help companies strategize how they can optimize their energy usage, thus furthering sustainability and reducing operational costs. Power monitoring systems can be used as an early warning system for possible problems wi...
