PQView®

PQView® is a multi-component software system developed by Electrotek Concepts® and EPRI® for building and analyzing databases of power quality and energy measurements. Its components build measurement databases, write summary reports, compute power quality indices, view waveforms and rms samples, and trend steady-state quantities via workstations and web browsers. Power providers, industrial power consumers, consulting companies, and university researchers throughout the world widely recognize PQView for its capabilities and flexibility.

PQView helps build databases with billions of measurements from thousands of monitoring points taken by many different types of meters, including power quality monitors, voltage recorders, in-plant monitors, and digital fault recorders. It can store and analyze information with the measurements about cause and source of triggered events, as well as evaluate the financial impact of events to both a power provider and a power user. It can quickly extract meaningful information from a one megabyte or one terabyte database.

PQView combines powerful features in a user-friendly interface. Measurements can be stored in either Microsoft® Access or Microsoft SQL Server. A complete PQView system consists of three main applications: the Power Quality Data Manager (PQDM), the Power Quality Data Analyzer (PQDA), and PQWeb®.

PQView is available for purchase directly from Electrotek Concepts.  It can also be obtained from Electrotek's U.S. sales representatives or its international sales distributors. It is also available to qualified EPRI funders. For more information, contact Electrotek Concepts by telephone at +1-978-927-8755 or by e-mail at pqview@electrotek.com.
