What is PQView Data Concentrator and Analysis Software?

PQView is an on-premise data concentrator and analysis software for power quality monitoring. It is device-agnostic and integrates data from multiple sources including power quality analyzers like PQube 3, digital relays, fault recorders, smart meters and SCADA systems. PQView converts raw data into actionable insights through dashboards, analysis tools, reporting capabilities, and fault location features.

What devices and systems does PQView integrate with?

PQView is device-agnostic and integrates data from: power quality analyzers including Powerside's PQube 3, digital protective relays, fault recorders, smart meters, and SCADA systems. This flexibility allows utilities and facilities to consolidate data from their existing infrastructure without replacing equipment.

What analytical tools does PQView provide?

PQView works seamlessly with analytical tools that convert raw data into helpful insights including: customizable dashboards for visualization, comprehensive power quality analysis tools, advanced reporting tools for compliance and documentation, and fault location capabilities to pinpoint power system issues.

Is PQView cloud-based or on-premise?

PQView is locally installed on-premise software, meaning it runs within your own physical environment rather than remotely in the cloud. This provides customizable levels of security and compliance, unique data and infrastructure control, and fewer dependencies on external factors for both you and your customers.

What are the benefits of on-premise installation?

On-premise installation provides several key benefits: customizable security and compliance levels tailored to your requirements, complete control over data and infrastructure, fewer dependencies on external cloud providers or internet connectivity, ability to cross-reference data with other internal systems without installing multiple software packages, and enhanced data sovereignty for regulated industries.

Who typically uses PQView software?

PQView is used by utility engineers, substation operators, power quality engineers, SCADA operators, energy analysts, facility managers, and grid operators who need to consolidate and analyze power quality data from multiple devices and systems across their electrical infrastructure.

Can PQView work with PQube 3 power analyzers?

Yes, PQView integrates seamlessly with Powerside's PQube 3 power quality analyzers, along with other manufacturers' devices. This device-agnostic approach allows you to use PQView as a central data concentrator regardless of your existing monitoring equipment.

What is the advantage of device-agnostic software?

Device-agnostic software like PQView can integrate data from multiple manufacturers and device types without requiring proprietary hardware. This allows utilities and facilities to leverage their existing investments in monitoring equipment, avoid vendor lock-in, and consolidate data from diverse sources into a single analysis platform for comprehensive power quality visibility.
