Keep readingPower 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…
Keep readingPower 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…
