Electrical Power Quality, Consumption, and Distribution Monitoring

From generation to end user driven machines and facilities, electrical power goes through a series of systems and links. In each step of the power chain, the quality and amount of power is important to measure and control. National Instruments provides tools to perform power quality monitoring, power metering and distribution monitoring.

Benefits of NI's Electrical Power and Systems Monitoring Approach

  • One source for electrical power quality, power metering, and sequence of event recorder applications
  • Shorter time to deployment with LabVIEW, the NI Graphical Programming Environment
  • Easily adapts to future requirements
  • Easily integrates with existing control systems and software

Electrical power quality and reliability is critical to every plant's operation. National Instruments provides commercial-off-the-shelf tools which power quality monitoring and power metering applications. The same data collection and analysis is valuable to machine manufacturers for factory acceptance test. Whether you are a generator, substation, in-plant or factory test focused, the NI electrical power monitoring platform provides the test and analysis you need at a competitive price with flexibility to integrate with current systems and expand with your company's needs.

Power Monitoring applications can be as simple as power metering using Distributed I/O or more complex leveraging high speed I/O for waveform capture. Take a look at an example of electrical power metering at National Instruments corporate headquarters by visiting power.ni.com.
