Unipower PQ Secure Software

Unipower PQ Secure Power Quality Management Software

Unipower PQ Secure is the central power quality management system that aggregates data from a fleet of Unipower power quality meters, including the UP-2210 measurement units and the Unilyzer 900 portable analyser, into a single integrated and automated power quality management view. Powerpoint Engineering supplies PQ Secure to Irish utilities, distribution network operators, large industrial sites, and renewable operators who need to supervise power quality and disturbances across many measurement points without managing each meter individually.

A single PQ meter is useful. A fleet of meters reporting into a common platform is what actually allows a utility or large industrial energy team to comply with EN 50160, hit network code reporting obligations, and trend power quality across years rather than days.

What PQ Secure does

• Centralised supervision of power quality across all connected meters.
• Automatic data collection from Unipower power quality meters and energy meters, with scheduled polling and event-driven uploads.
• Compliance reporting, including EN 50160-style assessment of power quality parameters across reporting periods.
• Event analysis: voltage dips, swells, transients, and interruptions captured across the network, indexed by site and time.
• Trend analysis: harmonic content, flicker, unbalance, and energy values plotted across the fleet for the periods that matter.
• Quick and easy tracing of disturbances in the power grid back to the meter and substation that captured them.
• User and role management for secure, multi-team access to the same PQ database.

Why central management matters for power quality

PQ events do not respect site boundaries. A voltage dip on a primary transmission system shows up at every secondary substation that feeds off it. Without central data, that dip is recorded as ten unrelated events. With PQ Secure, it shows up as one network-wide event with ten correlated sources, and the engineer investigating it sees all ten at once. That is what turns power quality data into power quality intelligence.

What you can monitor

Target users and applications

• Utilities and DNOs running EN 50160 compliance and operational PQ monitoring across a substation fleet
• Industrial energy managers supervising PQ on supply incomers and large internal distribution
• Renewable operators monitoring PQ at wind, solar, and BESS connection points and providing PQ reports to the network operator
• Electrical engineers and PQ consultants providing managed PQ monitoring services to clients
• Large commercial sites with sensitive loads (data centres, hospitals, semiconductor fabs) where PQ events have direct operational impact

Typical applications include continuous network-wide PQ supervision, automated EN 50160 compliance reporting, root-cause analysis of disturbances by correlating events across substations, customer connection PQ reporting, and trend analysis to support network reinforcement decisions. Powerpoint Engineering supplies PQ Secure alongside the supporting calibration and repair services and power quality monitoring survey capability for sites preferring an outsourced or hybrid PQ campaign.

FAQs

Does PQ Secure only work with Unipower meters?

PQ Secure is the native management system for Unipower power quality meters and is designed around their data format and capabilities. Other meters can be integrated where the data format allows, but the full automated workflow assumes a Unipower fleet (UP-2210, Unilyzer 900, and related models).

Is PQ Secure cloud-based or on-premise?

PQ Secure is typically deployed as an on-premise or private-server installation, given the sensitive nature of utility and industrial PQ data. Confirm your deployment model with the IT and security stakeholders before specifying licences and server infrastructure.

Can PQ Secure produce EN 50160 reports automatically?

Yes. The system is designed for integrated and automated power quality management systems, with EN 50160 compliance reporting as one of the standard outputs. Reports can be scheduled, triggered by events, or generated on demand for an audit or customer query.
