Unipower PQ Secure Software

Unipower PQSecure: Power Quality Monitoring System

Unipower PQSecure is a power quality monitoring system that turns a fleet of Unipower PQ meters into one coordinated power quality and disturbance management platform. It is the back-end software that Irish utilities, distribution network operators, and large industrial energy teams use when one or two PQ meters has grown into ten, fifty, or several hundred, and managing them as individual instruments is no longer practical. Powerpoint Engineering supplies PQSecure alongside the Unipower hardware range, with calibration, integration support, and survey services for full-service customers.

The simple way to think about PQSecure: every Unipower meter you own is a measurement node; PQSecure is the brain.

What you can do with PQSecure

• Continuous network monitoring: every Unipower PQ meter on the network reports power quality parameters and events into the PQ Secure system on schedule.
• Cross-site disturbance correlation: when a PQ event occurs, PQSecure correlates the same event across every meter that captured it, giving you a network-wide view of the disturbance rather than ten unrelated alarms.
• Compliance reporting: automated EN 50160 assessment with scheduled, on-demand, and event-driven reports.
• Trend analysis: harmonics, flicker, voltage, energy values, and unbalance plotted across days, months, or years.
• Event archive: voltage dips, swells, transients, and interruptions stored against the meter, time, and feeder, ready for after-the-fact investigation.
• Multi-user access: distinct roles for engineers, regulators, customer-service teams, and network operators against a single PQ database.

How PQSecure fits with Unipower meters

The standard Unipower architecture pairs PQSecure with hardware including the UP-2210 fixed PQ measurement units, the Unilyzer 900 Class A portable analyser, and the wider Unipower meter family. Each meter captures and stores data locally, then reports to PQSecure on schedule. If a meter loses connection, the local data buffer holds events until the network is back, so no data is lost during a substation comms outage. The PQSecure server handles aggregation, reporting, alarm distribution, and user access.

Target users and applications

• Utilities and DNOs running EN 50160 compliance and operational PQ supervision across a substation fleet
• Industrial energy managers monitoring incoming-supply PQ across multiple sites
• Renewable operators consolidating PQ data from multiple connection points into one regulator-ready report
• Large commercial estates with sensitive loads (data centres, hospitals, semiconductor fabs) running their own PQ infrastructure
• Electrical engineers and PQ consultants providing managed PQ monitoring services to client portfolios

Typical applications include continuous compliance monitoring, automated regulator reporting, root-cause analysis of network disturbances, customer-connection PQ assessment, and trend analysis to support reinforcement decisions. Powerpoint Engineering supplies PQSecure alongside our wider calibration and repair services, power quality monitoring survey services, and the Unipower meter range needed to feed it.

FAQs

Is PQSecure the same product as PQ Secure software?

Yes. "PQSecure" and "PQ Secure" are written variants of the same Unipower product, the central power quality management system that aggregates data from Unipower PQ meters into a single integrated and automated platform.

Can I run PQSecure with only a few meters?

Yes. PQSecure scales from a small handful of meters up to large utility-fleet deployments. For very small installations, the management overhead of running a dedicated server may exceed the benefit of central management; for anything more than a few sites, PQSecure is the practical choice.

Does PQSecure support meters from other manufacturers?

PQSecure is the native management platform for Unipower meters. Some integration with third-party meters is possible where the data format allows, but the full automated workflow assumes a Unipower fleet (UP-2210, Unilyzer 900, and related models). Confirm any third-party integration requirement before specifying.
