Power Quality Analysis

Power Quality Analysis Service in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, where industries often operate under high load demand, grid instability, captive power generation, and mixed loads, Power Quality Analysis (PQA) has become a critical engineering service rather than an optional diagnostic activity. Pico Labs Limited provides comprehensive Power Quality Analysis Service in Bangladesh, specifically designed to support engineers, maintenance teams, plant managers, and utility professionals working in industrial and infrastructure sectors.

In modern industrial environments, electrical systems are no longer simple power distribution networks. Industries now rely heavily on sensitive electronic equipment, automation systems, variable frequency drives (VFDs), PLCs, data centers, and renewable energy integration. Any disturbance in power quality can directly affect production, safety, and asset life.

Power Quality Challenges in Industrial Systems

From an engineering standpoint, poor power quality typically results from:

• Non-linear loads (VFDs, UPS, rectifiers, SMPS)
• Load imbalance across phases
• Weak grid conditions or long distribution lines
• Frequent generator–grid synchronization
• Improper grounding and earthing systems
• Expansion of loads without system redesign

These issues manifest as:

• Excessive harmonics (THD beyond IEEE/IEC limits)
• Voltage dips, swells, and transients
• Overheating of transformers, cables, and motors
• Nuisance tripping of protection devices
• Reduced efficiency and premature equipment failure

Without proper measurement and analysis, engineers are forced to rely on assumptions rather than data-driven decisions.

What Is Power Quality Analysis?

Power Quality Analysis is a systematic measurement and evaluation of electrical parameters to assess compliance with international standards and equipment tolerance limits. Using advanced power quality analyzers, long-term data is captured and analyzed for:

• Voltage & current profiles
• Frequency stability
• Harmonic spectrum and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
• Power factor and reactive power flow
• Load balance and neutral current
• Short-duration and long-duration events

For engineers, PQA provides quantifiable evidence to justify corrective actions such as filter installation, capacitor bank redesign, transformer derating, or system reconfiguration.

How Pico Labs Limited Supports Industrial Engineers

Pico Labs Limited is uniquely positioned to support the industry because we offer end-to-end electrical testing, analysis, and engineering support, backed by a wide range of professional-grade equipment.

1. Site-Based Power Quality Measurement

We deploy portable and fixed power quality analyzers at:

• Main incomers
• MCC panels
• Critical feeders
• Generator and UPS outputs

Measurements are conducted under real operating conditions without interrupting production.

2. Harmonic & Disturbance Analysis

Our engineers analyze harmonic sources and propagation paths, helping industries:

• Identify dominant harmonic orders
• Assess transformer and cable stress
• Evaluate IEEE 519 / IEC compliance

This is critical for plants using VFD-driven motors, large rectifiers, or solar inverters.

3. Root Cause Diagnosis

Rather than just reporting values, Pico Labs focuses on engineering interpretation, identifying:

• Whether issues are load-driven or supply-driven
• Impact of generator operation
• Effects of poor earthing or neutral overloading

This helps maintenance and design engineers take corrective actions with confidence.

4. Corrective Action & Optimization Support

Based on analysis results, we support engineers with:

• Power factor correction strategy
• Harmonic mitigation planning
• Load balancing recommendations
• Equipment protection improvement

We work collaboratively with plant engineering teams rather than providing isolated test reports.

Industries We Serve

Our Power Quality Analysis Service supports a wide range of industrial and infrastructure sectors in Bangladesh, including:

• Power Generation Plants (Gas, Diesel, Solar, Hybrid)
• Industrial Manufacturing & Process Plants
• Textile, Cement, Steel, and Chemical Industries
• Oil & Gas Facilities
• Data Centers & Commercial Complexes
• Hospitals & Critical Infrastructure
• Substations and Utility Networks

Each industry has unique electrical challenges, and Pico Labs customizes analysis accordingly.
