A Electro Industries/GaugeTech (EnergyReporterPQA / EnergyPQA) Case Study
Colocation Data Center Facility in Texas identifies a utility-driven oscillatory event in 40 ms with Electro Industries/GaugeTech
A colocation data center facility in Texas needed to analyze a complex power quality event affecting its mains electrical supply. The facility utilized a Nexus® 1500+ power quality meter from Electro Industries/GaugeTech to record the event's waveforms for detailed investigation.
Electro Industries/GaugeTech's solution involved analyzing the voltage and current waveforms captured by their meter. The analysis determined the event was a grid-originated sub-synchronous oscillation, likely caused by inverter-based resources in the ERCOT grid, and not a problem with the facility's own equipment. This finding provided the data center with definitive evidence that the utility was the cause of the disturbance, preventing a lengthy internal troubleshooting process.
