PowlSmart Systems
Overview

  • ​At Powell, our local in-house calibration capabilities facilitate a fast and efficient turnaround time for all
    equipment. Our skilled technicians receive, inspect, service, repair and return your instruments with a
    certificate of calibration.
    Calibration is an important routine necessary to maintain equipment. While there are many factors that
    could influence a measurement device, ruling out, out-of-tolerance equipment is a great first step in
    mitigating risk.

  • The advancements in multifunction protection devices have given plant personnel the ability to gain valuable insight into their electrical system in an effort to maintain continuous process power. There are many acronyms used for these systems; SCADA, PMS, PMCS, ECMS, and PALMS just to name a few. They vary, however, in functionality and complexity. These systems can perform as passive systems primarily monitoring device data and status with limited control features, or they are active systems managing power quality, load transfers, sheds, and resorations, and make decisions based on generation capacities, power losses, and power demands.

    We have broad application knowledge utilizing the latest protocols and standards when required; our latest implementations included, IEC 61850 (Electrical Substation Design standard), IEEE1588 (Precision Time Protocol), and IEC62439 (Parallel Redundancy Protocol).

  • The architecture of a PowlSmart® System is only limited by your imagination. We pride ourselves in being flexible and familiar with a variety of power and networking devices which can lead to a more lean architecture. The elimination of unnecessary devices will save thousands of dollars in upfront and maintenance costs. We choose the right products for each application and don't try to shoe-horn unnecessary products into your application.

  • Small scale or large scale, we have the experience and lessons learned to recommend and implement a hardware and software solution that fits. Whether it fits the functionality or fits the price-point, we know and appreciate the distinct differences between the device manufacturers and can recommend a suitable application. 

  • Implementing a PowlSmart® system in conjunction with the purchase of Powell distribution equipment is the optimal choice! Let us manage the coordination and implementation of both. From an integral drawing package to a full factory checkout, Powell can be the one-stop-shop for all your intelligent power distribution needs.
