Phase Sync

From in doubt to in sync. Hidden phase imbalance is one of the major – but often overlooked – causes of overloaded transformers and grid losses. Kamstrup Phase Sync is a patented technology that provides insight into the phase connections and makes it possible to balance the load to optimise capacity.

What can Phase Sync do?

Balance the phase load

Phase Sync provides a precise overview of grid load level, showing the load distribution across phases and where intervention is needed.

Unlock hidden capacity

By balancing the load, it’s possible to free up 5-15% capacity completely without new infrastructure, thus reducing the risk of overload and the need for technical buffers.

Get more value from your meters

Phase Sync is a plug-and-play solution that works with meters from multiple vendors, providing quick access to advanced data insights without the need for new sensors or hardware.

Create a more proactive approach

With a well-informed, data-driven basis for decision-making, new investments in infrastructure can be based on facts rather than assumptions to avoid unnecessary costs.

Make the grid more stable and reliable

Phase balancing not only reduces energy loss. Lower load levels also lead to a more stable power supply and extend the lifespan of your infrastructure.

Avoid stealing focus from core tasks

Our specialists take care of system updates, meter configurations, and help ensure compliance with regulations on documentation and data quality.

How does Phase Sync work?

Step 1

Data collection and analysis

Kamstrup securely transfers the collected meter data for advanced analysis, such as voltage from individual phases and high-resolution 4-quadrant energy consumption. The analysis is not carried out in real time but is based on historical meter data spanning several months up to a year. Phase Sync also supports third-party suppliers and is not limited to Kamstrup meters.

Step 2

Data processing

Our proprietary algorithm processes raw data to identify the phase connection of all three phases from the transformer to each connected electricity meter. This provides easy and regular access to consumption data for each individual phase, meaning that the phase load can be calculated and that phase load imbalances in the low-voltage grid can be identified.

Step 3

Insight and optimisation

The results are delivered from Kamstrup in a quarterly Grid Health Report, which provides detailed insight into phase imbalances at the consumer, transformer, and supply levels throughout the low-voltage grid, as well as concrete recommendations for how to balance the load. This means that grid operators can quickly correct issues, balance the load, and maximise capacity with great efficiency.
