SMIGHT GmbH now also enables the data integration of transformer measurements. With the SMIGHT Grid2 Connect UMG, third-party measuring devices can be integrated into the SMIGHT ecosystem, thereby supplementing the monitoring of over 33,000 measured low-voltage outgoing circuits. The adapter connects devices from the Janitza UMG 96-PQ-L series to a SMIGHT Grid2 gateway in just a few minutes without any wiring work. Information about the three-phase voltage and transformer utilization can thus be stored and displayed. With the Connect UMG, the existing measurement infrastructure can be easily integrated and the monitoring of the grid status can be quickly and efficiently expanded to include the transformer level.
More transparency – more knowledge: With this guiding principle, SMIGHT GmbH is constantly working to give distribution grid operators maximum control over their low-voltage grid. In addition to the four-phase measurement of outgoing circuits in local network substations, basic information on the status and utilization of a transformer can now also be displayed in the SMIGHT IQ low-voltage cockpit.
The new expansion module from SMIGHT fits into the existing expansion slot of the UMG 96-PA and UMG 96-PQ-L series network analyzers developed by Janitza electronics GmbH. Configuration is carried out in SMIGHT’s usual simple way using a QR code. After installation, the current, voltage and power measurement values of the Janitza measurement device used are displayed in the SMIGHT IQ low-voltage cockpit. This means that the use of the measuring device remains unrestricted.
“Our hardware and software are already established on the market as a comprehensive overall solution and, more importantly, our low-voltage cockpit allows distribution system operators to use the recorded data directly for grid operation and grid planning,” explains Oliver Deuschle, Managing Director of SMIGHT GmbH. “Now we are going one step further and linking our cockpit with external data – for even more insights into what is happening in the grid.”
“We are delighted that SMIGHT is opening up its proprietary ecosystem to us as an established manufacturer of power quality measurement devices, making the additional data obtained from the transformer secondary side easy to use for its customers,” adds Marcel Karell, Account Manager for energy suppliers at Janitza electronics GmbH.
Availability SMIGHT GRID2 Connect UMG
The SMIGHT Grid2 Connect UMG can be ordered now and will be available from January 2025. In addition, a variant of the Janitza UMG 96-PQ-L in SMIGHT design can be ordered directly from SMIGHT as a complete set with a Connect UMG.
A webinar on the topic of “Data integration of transformer measurements” will take place on 22.10.2024 at 11 a.m. Registration via: https://smight.com/webinar-connect-umg
