Power Metrics Monitoring
Cresatech’s PMM technology assists network operators in maximising service availability through continuous monitoring of the extremeties of the service network.
In combination with the CuTS® services platform, PMM technology is a very effective but low cost service delivery status tool that improves customer service, reduces engineering costs and enhances safety.
PMM assists network operators in maximizing service availability, through notification of ‘service power down’, or out of specification delivery, and when delivery cables have been damaged. Installed at the periphery of network sites, or in the case of large or critical users at the customer premises on the network side of the meter, the PMM remote unit monitors the single or three phase supply lines.
On site and centralised analysis of the monitoring information, provides sufficient intelligence to determine the type of event if service delivery is compromised; events such as LV cable damage or theft, a failure within the distribution infrastructure or a widespread supply issue.
Communication is via a wireless connection enabling both site interrogation and information and alarm reporting back to the network control centre.
LV Distribution Intelligence
Overhead power lines on the LV network are frequently in exposed, isolated and remote areas. They are very susceptible to damage from falling branches and trees and acts of vandalism or theft. Cresatech’s PMM is a low cost monitoring solution developed in association with the Power industry to monitor and alert in real time on damage or degradation of the LV network.
