2/47 Electrical Health Report
Report overview

 Introduction
This report identi es issues in your electrical power system. These issues can affect the performance of your
electrical system and your ability to correctly assess its state. Hidden electrical system issues can negatively impact
your business operations.

The information in the report is intended for quali ed personnel who are responsible for servicing and maintaining
your electrical system. Use this information to correct the issues and improve the performance and availability of the
system.

The report contains the following sections:

Analysis insights

This section shows high level summary information on the issues found. It includes an overall assessment score for
the health of the electrical system.

Issue summary

This section has summary information on each issue type, including a list of possible causes and recommended
actions.

 Introduction
This section provides high level summary information on the issues found by Power Advisor. It includes an overview
of the type and priority of the issues and their overall impact on the electrical system health.

This section contains the following topics:

Overall score

This topic shows an overall assessment score for the health of the electrical system.

4/47 Electrical Health Report
Analysis insights

 Overall score
The overall score is an assessment of the health of your electrical system. The score is a number between 100 % and
0 %. A system with few identi ed issues has a higher score; a system with many identi ed issues has a lower score.
A perfect system score would be 100 %.

To determine the electrical health score, Power Advisor runs a number of tests on the power management system
data. A failed test indicates a possible system issue and leads to a reduction of the overall score. The impact of a
failed test on the score depends on the type of test, the type and size of load affected, and other weighting factors.

You can think of the overall score as a snapshot of the health of your electrical system based on the system status
and the electrical network conditions during the analysis period.

 Note

The median score shown in the following chart is calculated across all power management systems that have
been analyzed by Power Advisor. It is shown as a benchmark to help you compare your overall score to that of
other systems.

 Identi ed issues
To determine the electrical health, Power Advisor runs a number of tests on the power management system data. A
failed test indicates a possible issue with the data, the device that collected the data, or the electrical network that is
being monitored.

The following table shows the possible issues identi ed for your system. The table is sorted by impact of the issue
on the overall score, with the highest impact issue at the top.

 Note

 High priority issues can have a high impact on the system for each affected device. We recommend that you
review and investigate these issues, even if the impact on the overall electrical health score is low.

Solution Option 1 : Power Factor Mitigation

700 kVAr Solution :


Based on your Power and Power Factor, a Schneider Electric VarSet capacitor bank solution with a capacity of 700
kVAr will improve your power factor at this metering point from 0.8540 to 1.0000. We estimate this solution will
reduce your monthly Power Factor penalty from $893 to $0. Based on this information and an estimated installed
cost of the solution of $38,500. The payback period for this solution would be 43.1 month(s). This solution is
estimated to increase the available capacity at this metering point by at least 57 kVA and release up to 172 kVA. This
can reduce the risk of overloaded equipment and can avoid capital expenses related to new transformers or other
capacity upgrades. It would also save approximately 1 tons of CO2 (for the given period, based on your country
average of 0.0590 kg of CO2 / kVAh).

600 kVAr Solution :


Based on your Power and Power Factor, a Schneider Electric VarSet capacitor bank solution with a capacity of 600
kVAr will improve your power factor at this metering point from 0.8540 to 1.0000. We estimate this solution will
reduce your monthly Power Factor penalty from $893 to $0. Based on this information and an estimated installed
cost of the solution of $33,000. The payback period for this solution would be 36.9 month(s). This solution is
estimated to increase the available capacity at this metering point by at least 57 kVA and release up to 172 kVA. This
can reduce the risk of overloaded equipment and can avoid capital expenses related to new transformers or other
capacity upgrades. It would also save approximately 1 tons of CO2 (for the given period, based on your country
average of 0.0590 kg of CO2 / kVAh).

 Glossary
This section includes de nitions of terms or concepts used in this report.

High Priority Issue de ntion

High priority issues can have a high impact on the electrical power system for each instance. Non-high priority issues
have a lower impact on the system for each instance. These issues gain importance if many instances are occurring.

Example:
Transformer Overcapacity is a high priority issue which needs to be investigated for each identi ed instance.

Power Quality Metering Recommended is a lower priority issue, which might be a concern depending on the number
of instances and the importance of the affected equipment in the power system.

We recommend that you review and investigate all identi ed issues.

Worst score impact by a device for an issue

To determine the electrical health score, Power Advisor runs a number of tests on the power management system
data provided by the monitoring devices.

A failed test for a device indicates a possible system issue and leads to a reduction of the overall score. The impact of
a failed test on the score depends on the type of test, the type and size of load affected, and other weighting factors.

The device linked to the highest reduction of the score for an issue is marked as '  Worst '.
