6 Chapter 1 Introduction to AiREPORTS 2.0 Electro Industries, in conjunction with Kreiss Johnson Technologies, the leader in power quality analysis software, introduces a quantum leap in power quality reporting technology, AiREPORTS 2.0. This unequaled power quality software package not only provides a comprehensive report on the status of the equipment being monitored, but it also uses artificial intelligence to diagnose a PQ problem or event and provide the possible cause of the problem. Accuracy is generally as high as 80%. Having this advanced diagnostic tool at your fingertips will cut endless hours of engineering analysis. Best of all, AiREPORTS is easy to use. AiREPORTS software is added to Nexus Communicator for Windows, which is an integral part of the Nexus System. Nexus Communicator retrieves data from single or multiple Nexus monitors for analysis. The Nexus data is available as instantaneous polled readings, logs, waveform captures, XY graphs and circular graphs. With a click of a button, AiREPORTS analyzes the data and converts it to a professional report within minutes. The report will indicate if you have a power quality problem, the severity of the problem, what might have caused it (utility or inside the facility), what equipment it may effect and a recommended solution. Below is an example of one of the screens. AiREPORTS uses the knowledge of the industry s leading power quality experts to turn data into answers. That knowledge is stored in AiREPORTS using artificial intelligence tools, such as Fuzzy Logic and Neural Works. AiREPORTS reviews the data collected by the Nexus monitors, both numeric values and waveforms. It then isolates power quality disturbances and calculates their severity. Next, it determines the source or origin of the disturbance, including whether it began upstream or downstream from the monitoring location. Electro Industries/GaugeTech Doc # E

7 Based upon the analysis and using its embedded knowledge, AiREPORTS provides an industry-accepted solution for the problem. Examples of the embedded knowledge are voltage waveform patterns of motor starts and capacitor switching. Knowledge is also embedded as a rule. An example of an embedded rule is, If a major current increase is recorded during a sag, the origin of the sag is downstream from the monitoring location. With hundreds of waveform patterns and rules, the AiREPORTS user truly has a staff of experts behind him. Once the detailed report is generated, you can print the report, transmit it to a colleague, modify the report with your favorite word processing software and/or export the file using RTF or PDF format. You can also save waveform data in PQDIF format for use with other data management and analysis software (see section 4.4). NOTE: The user must set up the Nexus to collect waveform data SIMULTANEOUSLY ON ALL CHANNELS when a power quality event occurs (see section 2.4 for details). 1.1: Outline for Using AiREPORTS 1. Install AiREPORTS for Nexus Communicator 2.0 software on your computer and Set Up Channels (Chapter 2); 2. Retrieve and Convert Logs and Manually Reset Logs (Chapter 3); 3. Selections from the Log Viewer (Chapter 4); 4. AiREPORTS Sections (Chapter 5); 5. AiREPORTS Toolbars (Chapter 6); NOTE: Please note again that artificial intelligence (such as Fuzzy Logic and Neural Works) yields an accuracy as high as 80%. It will be wrong some of the time.

18 Chapter 5 AiREPORTS Sections 5.1: Section 1 - Site Summary Site Summary is the first section to appear on your screen after the report has been compiled. The site is described in terms of its overall power compatibility for the proper operation of electronic loads. Individual catagories of recorded voltage events are presented, including zero crossing errors, voltage notches, circuit impedance, voltage unbalance and harmonics, in addition to sags, outages and voltage transients. These event categories are compared against each other in terms of their severity or destructive impact upon electronic loads. A time plot of the channel that experienced the highest is output to the first page. This allows the user to understand the overall problem at the survey site. Voltage and current time plots are presented as well as each channel s initial waveform. The report is very easy to use. The Site Summary gives you an overview of the data and the analysis. Graphs such as those below show additional data from the survey period. Electro Industries/GaugeTech Doc # E

19 Further sections detail the events that have occured during the Time Range. Those sections can be viewed by clicking anywhere on the page, which will cause the view to automatically skip to the next page. Or, you can click the Next Page button on the AiREPORTS Tool Bar. You can also click the Show Section button and the following screen will appear. Select a section and/or a page number and clicking OK. If you want the page to appear without Logos, Headers and Footers, check those boxes. Electro Industries/GaugeTech Doc # E

20 5.2: Section 2 - Severe Events This section describes the three most severe voltage events recorded during the survey. Each event is graphed and its corresponding time plot detailed. Also presented are the event s severity factor, possible cause, equipment affected and possible remedy. Below is a typical summary screen of one of the three Most Severe Events. 5.3: Section 3 - Statistics This section takes the body of recorded data and presents it in chart form that is meaningful for the management of power quality at the survey site. As with all sections, charts and text will vary with the data collected. Charts in this section are histograms of voltage events by time of day for each major event category - sags, outages and transients. Electro Industries/GaugeTech Doc # E

21 If the survey duration were greater than twenty four hours, a graph showing average frequency of occurence by time of day would be presented. Each of the histograms would have a corresponding histogram showing, instread of frequency of occurence, the severity factor by time of day. This allows the user to determine the time of day when events occur most frequently and when they are most destructive. 5.4: Section 4 - Frame Analysis Event frames detail one or more events that are logically related. For example, Event #27 might be the start of a voltage sag and Event #31 might be the return to normal voltage from that sag. AiREPORTS would consider events #27 through #31 to be a frame, since they are logically related. Processing the under voltage event without considering when it returned to normal or what other events occurred during the sag would not produce intelligent results. Many algorithms are used to to organize events into frames. This section presents a fairly comprehensive analysis of the ten most severe event frames. For each frame, the nature, cause, severity, possible solution and all other information generated by the knowledge-based expert system are presented. Based on the number of frames selected (set in the Name and Site Identifier Dialog), this section of the report can be up to 50 pages long. Below is an example of part of a frame. Electro Industries/GaugeTech Doc # E

22 5.5: Section 5 - Power Analysis Section Three focuses on the analysis of classical power disturbances such as voltage sags, outages and transients. This section focuses on the presentation and analysis of other power parameters such as voltage unbalance, circuit impedance, harmonics, zero crossing errors and voltage notches. The following is a example of such an analysis: Electro Industries/GaugeTech Doc # E

23 5.6: Section 6 - Run Summary This section shows the configuration of the Instrument and the Setup used during the collection of the data. Electro Industries/GaugeTech Doc # E
