Data Processing
The following calculations are performed by the Backup Power Module of EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation.
In the case of an ASCO architecture, these calculations can be performed by the ASCO CPMA.
For the Backup Generator and ATS/PTS*
Data processing consists of:
-
Analyzing the status information from the generator(s) and ATS/PTSs* and compiling the run history table which details each and every backup power run, including start, stop, and transfer time.
-
Among others, the following indicators are extracted from available data:
-
Split of emergency / non-emergency running hours as an annual total.
-
Running hours broken out into categories for Test, Power Outage, Load Shedding.
-
-
For the backup/emergency system* conformance tests, all success criteria are examined to provide a comprehensive fail/pass status.
For the UPS*
Data processing depends on whether the UPS equipment has auto-test capabilities:
-
If it has auto-test capabilities, (for example, Galaxy VX/VL/VM/VS), the module will gather all data relevant for the auto-test (final status of the test and status for each step).
-
If not, the module compares the battery voltage waveform during a transfer to a reference signature waveform.
