[Webinar Key Q&A] How to Effectively Use Smart Meters to Measure Ultra-Precise Power Usage in Smart Buildings
Published2019.09.01 08:01Optimizing power reliability, energy costs, and operational efficiency in critical power environments such as hospitals, data centers, airports, and factories is becoming increasingly challenging. Utility power grids are becoming increasingly dynamic, facility distribution systems are becoming more complex, and network stability is under threat from cyberattacks.
Large-scale, critical facilities require sophisticated power management tools to improve business competitiveness and profitability.

As the IoT expands into facility infrastructure, increasingly smart devices are connecting to software systems and the cloud. Just as building management systems are evolving into smart automation, power distribution is also evolving to include a network of connected products leveraging embedded intelligence.
To address this trend, Schneider Electric launched the PowerLogic ION9000 meter on February 14, 2019, which enables precise energy analysis through improved measurement accuracy.
The ION9000 meter is the next generation of the ION7650, offering enhanced IoT-based event analytics and accuracy, delivering the information needed for critical power applications. The information provided plays a vital role in preventative maintenance and root cause analysis of outages, helping to maintain the safety of personnel and equipment.
The ION9000 offers Class 0.1S accuracy and features onboard power quality analysis capabilities, providing valuable insights. It also supports onboard PQ analysis compliant with EN50160 and IEEE519 standards. It also received IEC 62586-1 and 2 certification, demonstrating its accuracy under a variety of adverse conditions and the specific environments in which it was measured.
Additionally, the patented ION programming feature allows for dynamic adaptation to changing power networks. It can also be directly programmed to accommodate complex distribution monitoring or customized substation automation.
On April 30, 2019, e4ds EEWebinar hosted a webinar where Lee Seong-ho, Manager of Schneider Electric Korea's Digital Energy Business Unit, explained how ION9000 can be used to implement energy analysis, power measurement, and integrated power management solutions.
Below are some questions from webinar viewers about the PowerLogic ION9000 meter, along with answers from Manager Lee Seong-ho.
Q. What are the main differences between the ION7650 and the ION7650? And is it compatible with the ION Enterprise? (ID: an**)
A. Compared to the ION7650, the ION9000 boasts improved accuracy (from 0.2 to 0.1) and increased memory to 2GB. It also features a full-color display. It is also compatible with ION Enterprise.
Q. How does highly precise energy analysis help monitor facility operation? (ID: po**)
A. It will vary depending on the facility, but by understanding the power quality, you can determine the product's lifespan, efficiency, etc., and you can also distribute the load according to energy usage.
Q. If the accuracy of ION9000 is 0.1, does this guarantee 0.1 accuracy for existing CTs, PTs, etc.? (ID: po**)
A. The accuracy guaranteed by the ION9000 is the accuracy of the incoming values. Therefore, it does not increase the accuracy of CT or PT.
The accuracy of energy metering devices directly impacts the accuracy of analysis. Higher accuracy allows facility teams to trust the information and identify greater cost-saving opportunities. For example, for shadow metering, it is recommended to use meters certified to Class 0.2 or higher to match the accuracy of the billing meters used by energy providers. Class 0.2 indicates a 0.2% accuracy in energy measurements.
Q. Where is the ION9000 primarily used? And what is its lifespan? (ID: ji**)
A. As of April, the most used locations are data centers and hospitals. Their lifespan is 10 to 15 years.
Q. Is there a monitoring application that connects to a smartphone? (ID: po**)
A. While there's no dedicated app for the ION9000, you can view it anytime via the web. Additionally, if you have Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure PME (Power Monitoring Expert) software, you can monitor it from your smartphone.
Q. Is it possible to monitor phase and harmonic status in real-time power? And what is the sampling time? (ID: em**)
A. All are possible and the sampling time is 1024.
Q. How are the measured data logs saved? (ID: bb**)
A. It is stored in the 2G built-in memory, and an SD card can also be inserted.
Q. Is it possible to transfer saved data via USB port? (ID: po**)
A. It is currently being used for firmware upgrades, but it is being upgraded so that it can be used for data transfer in the future. It was built for that purpose from the beginning, so I expect it will be possible soon.
Q. Is there any integrated software to manage the measuring equipment? (ID: dj**)
A. Schneider Electric has PME software specialized for monitoring and SCADA-based control software called 'EcoStruxure PSO (Power SCADA Operation).'
Q. What additional requirements are needed for IoT-based event analysis? (ID: cy**)
A. Most fundamentally, communication must be configured, which can be accomplished by installing the 'EcoStruxure Power Advisor' software.
Q. Can the monitoring software be modified according to customer requests? And what is the maximum number of devices that can be managed via a communication line? (ID: dj**)
A. Various changes to functions, such as changing the drawing, are possible. And if you have enough servers, you can have thousands of them.
Advances in power measurement technology and the emergence of highly specialized power management software applications have made it possible to identify and manage power quality risks more quickly than ever before.
By providing power management systems with the ability to capture, analyze, and display complex, high-resolution power system information, facility management teams can easily visualize and quickly reconstruct what happened during a power system incident.
Companies operating large, critical facilities without these tools and technologies will expose themselves to unnecessary risks to business continuity and efficiency.
