Vimmerby Energi expands the use of the dInsight Analytics platform from the cleantech company Dlaboratory Sweden AB (publ) by adding energy quality measurement, dQuality 3.0
The utility company Vimmerby Energi & Miljö AB introduced dInsight Analytics Platform from Dlaboratory Sweden AB (publ) in their entire network in 2019. Since then, dLab’s solution has helped the company keep track of incidents in the power distribution – from the overlying network, in their own network and also in customers’ facilities. The commissioning of dQuality 3.0 means that Vimmerby Energi is now taking another step towards its goal of streamlining the entire chain in order to increase operational reliability and cost efficiency.
dLab’s application dQuality is a solution that tracks network quality and detects deviations. In order to maintain the energy quality standards required in Europe, monitoring of grid quality is necessary.
Higher precision in the registrations, a more user-friendly interface and the possibility of cross-reference network incidents with deviations in current quality are some of the improved features in dQuality 3.0. Overall, dQuality is an easy-to-use and cost-effective tool for tracking network quality. monitoring and analysis of factors such as harmonics, frequency stability, flicker, voltage changes, etc., irregularities can be quickly identified and managed
dQuality 3.0 can be viewed in dLab’s visualization platform dInsight. User-friendly graphs and charts make it easy to monitor power quality in dInsight. The possibility that cross-reference event registrations in dInsight and irregularities in dQuality make it possible to make extensive root cause analyzes.
Since 2019, Vimmerby Energi & Miljö AB has kept track of all incidents in its networks via dLabs dAnalyzer. Among the benefits are the early warnings of upcoming faults that enable proactive maintenance to fix faults before an interruption occurs. These early warnings are mostly displayed in the form of high ohmic ground faults and ground faults and can be, for example, a sign of aging components, bad cable splices and other upcoming problems that dLab uniquley detects with its patented algorithm.
-Now Vimmerby adds dQuality to also monitor the power quality in their network. Current quality interference is another form of distubance that can be, for example, a load or solar panels that generate unwanted harmonics. The solution can then, for example, be to add a filter to suppress the harmonics, says Fredrik Akke, CTO at dLab.
Dlaboratory Sweden AB (publ) is a cleantech company that offers an intelligent digital platform that makes it easier for the energy sector to support the sustainable society of the future. By providing visual network analysis that enables data-driven decision-making, the possibilities open up for a modernized way of working and a more resilient electricity network. dLab has been a commercial company since 2015 and the shares have been listed on Nasdaq First North GM (DLAB) since April 2021.
