The paper presents a method of measuring power consumed by an industrial robot in a single phase system. A computer-based measurement set was constructed, consisting of special purpose voltage and current converters and a PC with a multi-channel measuring card. Measurements were conducted and time curves were recorded for the supply voltage and current of the robot under dynamic states at prescribed trajectories. The software DasyLab was used to plot time waveforms, to obtain power values and to record data. The power consumed by the robot was analyzed for…

Power Quality and Energy Monitoring in Controlled Environment Agriculture in New Jersey, USA, Case Study

Published by Dranetz Technologies, Inc. Website: Dranetz.com  SUMMARY Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) relies on advanced technologies such as climate control systems, artificial lighting, and hydroponic or aeroponic growing systems. These systems, in turn, require stable, clean power. This Application Note outlines how a New Jersey-based indoor farming facility addressed persistent HVAC and VFD failures by installing a Camille Bauer PQ5000 permanent power quality and energy meter along with Dranetz master monitoring station. The meter and station setup provided insight into utility feed conditions, helped diagnose internal power events, and offered actionable data to prevent crop loss. Indoor Cultivation Requires Reliable Power…

Power Quality Lessons from an Controlled Environment Agriculture Facility

Published by Dranetz Technologies, Inc. Website: Dranetz.com  For controlled environment agriculture (CEA) operations, temperature, humidity, airflow, lighting, and CO₂ must stay within narrow limits 24/7 to foster growing conditions for high-value crops. When power quality deteriorates, environmental systems can go off-spec, putting these crops at risk. When HVAC and VFDs began failing unexpectedly, New Jersey CEA facility operators took a closer look at what was happening with power operations. This article highlights key lessons from a recent Application Note that documents how permanent power quality monitoring helped the facility move from uncertainty to confidence. At the end, you can download the…

Simulated Blockchain-Enabled Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading in Marketplace

Published by Saheed Lekan GBADAMOSI1,2, Nnamdi I. NWULU1, Center for Cyber Physical Food, Energy and Water Systems, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park 2006, South Africa (1), Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Bowen University Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria (2)ORCID: 0000-0001-7398-813 Abstract. This study examines the use of Ethereum-based smart contracts to facilitate peer-to-peer energy trading in decentralized marketplaces. Energy traders submit bids and offers to smart contracts, which oversee the transaction process. Additionally, another smart contract helps energy merchants source energy from prosumers to meet their supply obligations. This research validates the efficiency of smart contracts in managing transactions within…
