System solution for monitoring electricity consumption
Kvalitet-Prom is a company with a wide range of activities, built name and reputation of a reliable and stable partner in the supply of construction materials with emphasis on reinforced concrete and ferrous metallurgy products
For the needs of their facility in Kumanovo, a decision was made to monitor electricity consumption. The basic need of the Monitoring Company arose from the installed photovoltaic power plant, placed on the roof of the hall. The expectations from the system solution were to ensure transparency in the consumption and production of electricity, ie identification of how much of the total consumed energy comes from the power plant, and how much is returned to the grid.
The new Janitza UMG96PA-MID + three-phase multimeters were used in the realization of the project, which provided all aspects for certified MID electricity metering.
The GridVis Standard software application first generates real-time WEB visualization so that it can be used independently of client instances. Special forms have been created for the reports which are automatically performed and sent to the set email addresses.
MID certified three-phase multimeter with RS485
MID certified three-phase multimeter with RS485 with Ethernet expansion module
Synchronization with measuring devices, configuration of devices, real-time monitoring, graphical display of parameters, monthly report on the consumption of individual measuring points
Improving transparency in the processes of energy distribution with WEB application, available to all users in the local network, without the use of client software instances
Determination of the total energy consumed in the Company, by determining the part taken from the network and the part obtained from the photovoltaic.
Monitoring / archiving the total and consumption of individual processes will contribute to the improvement of energy policies, especially when using the stock exchange values of the produced electricity
All consumption related parameters are archived in a set SQL type database, for a period of 15 minutes
