Today’s electricity grid is more challenging than ever and not least low – voltage grids where there is a rapid change with expansive installation of photovoltaic systems together with sharply increased power consumption in local parts thanks to more and more electric car charging stations.

For the above reasons, Metrum has further developed our previous meter adapted especially for low-voltage networks and substations and is now releasing an updated substation analyzer – Metrum SC (FR).

The new substation analyzer is focused on meeting all measurement needs in low voltage networks and includes both fully normal power quality measurement and reporting according to EN 50 160 as well as new measurement algorithms for advanced interference analysis with the ability to detect incipient and intermittent faults in low voltage networks.

Metrum is the initiator and leader of the ERA-Net project ACES (Adaptive Control of Energy Storage) where the aim is to use energy storage in a more efficient and economical way to support the modern electricity grid with the help of forecasting and pattern recognition of different types of power quality data. The following film explains in more detail what we and our project partners aim to achieve.

Metrum Sweden AB helps the mining industry be more productive
The mining industry are both heavy energy consuming and have
a delicate production process. The energy cost is one mayor direct costs for the mining industry. Many mines have also their own generation plants to
supply the need of energy. The energy is vital for the production. Metrum Sweden AB offers class A power quality instruments and monitoring system.
A power quality instruments and monitoring system.

At the beginning of 2020, Metrum’s new hosting service “Metrum Cloud” was launched. The solution has been very well received by our customers as a very user-friendly offering real savings. Metrum Cloud is sold as a service where Metrum administers the hole system, including configuration of instruments, adding new users, adding applications etc.
In addition, Metrum is responsible for continuous operational control and for ongoing upgrades of the system. Metrum Cloud includes in a central database (SQL Server) where all measurement data is handled and Metrum’s web client “PQ WEB”.

Metrum and AddSecure have started a successful collaboration, developing “Plug and play” package solution for remotely controlled power quality monitoring.
The solution enables a fast, simple installation and commissioning for advanced qualified measuring and analysis of power quality in secondary substations, charging stations, solar stations and more.
The low voltage grid is already burdened today by new electrical loads and generation such as charging stations for electrical vehicles to solar parks. The low voltage power quality monitoring solution “Plug &
