Synopsis 

Power quality monitoring is used by electricity networks for responding to customer complaints, investigating network events, load monitoring and power quality compliance. Increasing amounts of consumer power electronics, including distributed energy resources, means power quality monitoring is as relevant as it’s ever been. Further, customers are increasingly relying on electricity networks in their day-to-day lives, making reliability and quality a supply a driving factor in network operations. This presentation outlines a system that employees power quality monitors to find network faults, improving network reliability and the utilisation of monitoring assets.
