IEC 60870 and the Future of Power System Communication
In today’s fast-evolving power sector, effective communication between control centers and field devices is critical. It is not just about keeping the lights on. It is about making smart, coordinated decisions in real time. The IEC 60870 standard plays a key role in making that possible, offering a trusted framework for interoperability in energy automation. […]
IEC 61850 and the Future of Substation Communication
As power systems grow more complex, the ability to exchange information quickly and reliably becomes a fundamental part of maintaining stability. In substations especially, where critical decisions must be made in real time, communication has to be fast, standardized, and secure. IEC 61850 helps make that possible. More than a typical protocol, IEC 61850 is […]
Meter for Energy Storage System with Accurate and Smart Monitoring
As energy storage takes on a growing role in today’s power systems, the need for accurate and real-time monitoring has become critical. Whether paired with solar panels, supporting grid stability, or powering industrial microgrids, energy storage systems must be precisely measured at every stage of operation. A dedicated meter for energy storage systems provides the […]
IEEE C37.118.1 – Synchronizing the Grid with Precision
Modernizing the power grid requires more than just new hardware. It calls for smart data, real-time insights, and standards that ensure all components can work together. One of the most important among these standards is IEEE C37.118.1, which defines how synchrophasor data is measured and communicated across wide-area monitoring systems. For energy professionals working with […]
PMU for Real Time Power System Monitoring with High Precision
Modern power grids are more dynamic and complex than ever. As renewable energy sources expand, loads fluctuate, and automation increases, grid operators need fast, synchronized data to maintain stability. A PMU, or phasor measurement unit, is designed to meet this challenge by delivering high speed insights across the entire network. At SATEC, we integrate PMU […]
Energy Consumption Monitoring for Smarter Facility Management
To manage energy effectively, you need to know exactly where it’s going. That’s the role of an energy consumption monitoring system. It provides clear, real-time insights into how electricity is used throughout your facility, helping you uncover inefficiencies, avoid unnecessary costs, and make better operational decisions. Whether you’re running a commercial building, an industrial site, […]
IEC 61000-4-30 Standard for Reliable Power Quality Measurement
When monitoring power quality, precision is essential, but it is not the only factor that matters. Consistency across different devices, time periods, and locations is just as critical. That is the role of IEC 61000-4-30, a global standard that ensures power quality measurements are taken the same way everywhere, making them reliable, comparable, and useful […]
Private: Accuracy Class: Why the “S” Matters
IEC 62053-21 defines the accuracy requirements for energy meters. However, many users underestimate the significant impact entailed in the seemingly minute differences between Class 0.2 and Class 0.5, or between any Class 0.x and its counterpart Class 0.xS. To clarify these distinctions, we invite you to explore our updated application note below.
3 Phase Power Measurement for Reliable Energy Monitoring
In modern industrial and commercial facilities, power systems are complex. Most use three-phase electrical distribution because it offers stable and efficient power delivery, especially for heavy machinery and high-demand equipment. To manage these systems effectively, accurate 3 phase power measurement is essential. It helps engineers and facility managers understand energy usage, spot inefficiencies, and maintain […]
BACnet Meter Integration for Smarter Energy Management in Buildings
Smart buildings rely on more than just accurate energy measurement. They also need seamless communication between systems. From lighting and HVAC to security and access control, building automation depends on devices that can talk to each other. A BACnet supporting meter makes this possible by allowing energy data to integrate directly with your building management […]
