Energy Management Solutions from InovaTech

InovaTech provides a complete business solution for customers requiring better load management and metering capabilities within their network. The basis for InovaTech solutions is the accurate measurement of energy flow throughout the electrical network.

Measurements are made at the generator, medium and low voltage substations and key nodes within the customers’ premises, enabling the utility to monitor the transmission and distribution of energy flow, and the customers to better manage consumption within their estates, factories, offices and homes.

One of the key elements of InovaTech’s metering modules is the Energy and Power Quality Metering (EPQM) module. Features include:-

▪ Continuous, real-time monitoring of all attributes of load and consumption in both single and poly-phase environments;

▪ Detection, measurement and waveform capture of harmonics (to the 50th harmonic);

▪ Detection, measurement and waveform capture of sag, swell, flicker and transient events.

Key system features of InovaTech’s metering modules include:-

▪ Remote, automatic connection and disconnection of services;

▪ Support for pre-paid accounts;

▪ Support for difficult metering environments, such as high-rise buildings where interference with meter communications is a problem;

▪ Continuous, real-time reconciliation of consumption and detection of losses;

▪ Specialist algorithms for fraud detection;

▪ Automated communication of readings to Minerva;

▪ Plug compatible meter replacement form factors;

▪ Resilient, tamper resistant and environmentally durable;

▪ Upgrades metering capability without the need to replace existing meters;

▪ Updates of legacy billing systems;

▪ Remote downloading of software updates to data concentrators and meters, minimizing the chances of obsolescence and enabling the utility to quickly incorporate advances in technology.
