Engineers viewing measurement and engaged in analysis

Measurements and Analysis: the fundamental diagnosis

An effective solution starts with the right diagnosis. We perform high-end on-site measurements to provide a razor-sharp picture of the quality of your voltage and current. Whether it is a short 'spot measurement' or an extensive duration measurement: we provide the data you need. Where necessary, we use Continuous Waveform Recording to capture even the fastest transients and supraharmonic contamination. Our engineers test the data against the standard (EN50160/IEC61000) and translate this into a clear improvement plan.

Simulations: Security and Safety upfront

Knowing that a solution works even before you invest. That is the power of simulation. We digitally rebuild (parts of) your installation to calculate scenarios and exclude risks. Think of simulations for Power Quality & Harmonics (scenarios), Arc Flash for personal safety, and Selectivity of protections. With a 'Digital Twin', we guarantee a First Time Right implementation and compliance with security standards.

HyTEPS' measurements are very important for us to realise this, and to check whether new installations will bring us exactly what we expect

Ton Baltus Manager installation managers Schiphol Full story

HyTEPS immediately understood what we needed. They not only removed reactive power, but also freed up extra power, and made our power network healthier. We are now looking at how we can potentially release even more power by smart sizing.

One year after commissioning the HyTEPS capacitor bank, we note that no 'blind power penalty' was paid after installation and that the capacitor bank has already almost paid for itself.

Jan van Munster Managing director Van Munster Recyclers B.V. Full story

One year after commissioning the HyTEPS active filter, we should note that a production downtime due to this process automation has not recurred. Add to this the increased component life and lower energy consumption, we can conclude that this filter has already paid for itself this year.

Monitoring: from snapshot to continuous insight

Your installation is dynamic. A single measurement is just a snapshot, but continuous monitoring provides 24/7 security. By continuously monitoring your installation, you transform data into useful management information. Our systems detect trends and proactively send notifications in case of deviations. This prevents unexpected downtime, gives you insight into residual capacity and allows you to perform maintenance exactly when needed.

Products: High-quality hardware

Based on our analyses, we select the hardware that seamlessly matches your technical challenge. HyTEPS is brand-independent and only recommends products that have proven their quality in practice. From Active Harmonic Filters and Capacitor Banks to advanced Voltage Stabilisers. Our engineers take care of full commissioning and do not leave until the measurement shows that the desired result has been achieved.

Frequently asked questions

Answer:

Poor Power Quality often leads to transformer overheating, unexplained PLC failures and premature failure of capacitor banks. This directly results in unplanned downtime and safety risks.

Answer:

Costs depend on the complexity and size of your installation. However, the cost of one hour of production downtime is often many times higher than the investment in a survey. Speak to an engineer for a tailor-made estimate.

Answer:

Yes, we can use measurements to reveal where energy losses (such as reactive current) occur. By optimising these, you often create extra space on the connection, which can be a solution in case of congestion.

Answer:

We understand that downtime costs money. For urgent matters, we try to respond as quickly as possible, often within 24 to 48 hours. For less urgent analyses, we plan in consultation.

Answer:

Our engineers analyse the installation using measurements, simulations and modelling to target the cause.

Answer:

Yes, harmonics can cause cables and transformers to overheat, posing a fire hazard. They can also cause protective devices to trigger unintentionally, leading to acute and dangerous machine failure.

Answer:

Yes, absolutely. Our measurements are non-intrusive. We place equipment while your processes continue as usual. Instead, we need a representative load to make a correct analysis.

Answer:

Our focus is on Power Quality and the quality of voltage and current (NEN-EN 50160). However, Power Quality is an essential part of a safe installation. We can supplement your inspection report with in-depth measurements that go beyond the standard NEN 3140 scope.

Answer:

Yes. If our analysis shows that harmonic filters or capacitor banks are needed, we can dimension, supply and commission them (together with you). You can buy this hardware from us and install it yourself, or let us supervise this.

Answer:

We do not simply repair a defect; we improve the entire quality to prevent future problems.
