PowerHub Panels

The Panels module allows users to view, add, configure and delete panels in PowerHub. It also allows users to compare the loads on panels in PowerHub with the load on those panels in POR (EasyPower or SKM).

Power panels have many different configurations depending on manufacturer, capacity, voltage etc. Each panel has multiple circuits to which individual loads or other downstream panels can be connected. Users can search for panels to view panel properties as well as the associated circuits and loads. 

Panel List​

Selecting “Panel List” from the Panels menu at the top of the PowerHub app will bring the user to the the Panel List page.

The Panel List Page shows details all the panels in the currently selected site in a grid view. This page has the following features:

In the circuit grid, you will find all the details of the panel circuits such as circuit number, breaker, frame/trip(poles), current assignment, FLA, demo date, future assignments, FLA, install date, and available actions that can be performed on a circuit.

See the section below on the Circuit Grid for details.

c. Demand POCs

This tab displays the various details of demand POCs such as Source Panel, Child Panel, Entity Name, Demand, Voltage, Phase, FLA, ConnectedkVA, kVA, Install date, and Demo date.

See the section below on the Circuit Grid for details.

d. Panel Load

In this section, the first table displays the max load of the panel and its parent panels. If the panel is a branch panel, a second table show the load balance of the 3 phases on this panel.

The following table has a button to add notes and functionality to delete the notes.

e. Add Panel

When a user clicks the Add Panel button in the top-right corner of the Edit Panel screen, the Add Panel screen is displayed.

The user can select a panel in Copy From field to copy its values in the new panel attributes. In this case, the user doesn’t need to supply the values for each attribute individually to create a new panel .

Alternatively, the user can enter the value for each attribute manually.

Click Save to add a new panel.

4. Delete Panel​

Along with panel details, under the Actions column in the panel grid, there is a icon to delete the panel. 

Upon clicking the trash icon of the selected panel, a delete confirmation pops up. If you click Delete it will delete the panel along with all its associated POC assignments.

5. Filtering the Panel list​

You can filter the values in the grid for any of the attributes by specifying the conditions of your choice. 

For example, you can filter the values for “Panel Type” in the grid by clicking on the adjacent vertical ellipsis button and specifying the filter condition such as is equal to Branch Panel or Distribution Panel to filter the data.

The Bus column will be the primary key for comparison, and the cells will be highlighted as follows:

a. Green: If the Panel record is not already populated in PowerHub, the cell color of that record appears green.

b. Yellow: If the Panel record is updated in PowerHub, the cell color of that record appears yellow.

c. Red: If the Panel record value is invalid, the cell color of that record appears red.

9. Analyse Mode​

If analyse mode is on, as well as allowing the user to export more than one page, the user can group the panels by any of the column headers. With the ‘Analyse’ checkbox checked, drag column headers to the space above the grid and the system will group the grid by that field. The image below shows panels grouped by Type and Train.

This search bar is used to search any term in the panel grid. Whatever the user types in the search bar, the records of matching values will display in the panel grid. 

11. Clear Filters​

Remove all the filters applied to any of the attributes in the grid.

You can drag and drop circuits to change their position and edit the bucket height, frame size and trip size on multiple circuits simultaneously. This functionality can be used where panel data has been imported and the the elevation or other data was not available in the data source.

Panel Tree​

Selecting “Panel Tree” from the Panels menu at the top of the PowerHub app will bring the user to the the Panel Tree view.

The Panel Tree view shows all the panels of the current site in a hierarchical form in the left pane of the page. If the bay a panel is in is set, then the bay number will be displayed in blue after the panel name. The percentage load currently on each panel is displayed. The percentage load is colour coded as follows:

  • Green: The panel is loaded below 75% capacity

  • Orange: The panel is loaded between 75% and 85% capacity

  • Red: The Panel is loaded above 85% capacity

Note that the percentage is calculated in relation to the value of both ‘Maximum Approved Load (%)’ and ‘Allowable kVA’ ass configured in the panel details page. The ‘Maximum Approved Load (%)’ value is used to increase/decrease the avowable load on individual panels.

You can perform the following operations on this panel tree as follows:

1. Facility Selection​

You can filter the panel tree to one or more facilities within the currently selected site.

You can type the panel in the search bar and all the related panels will get displayed in the tree.

3. View Panel Loads​

You can click any panel in the panel tree to see the connected loads displayed on the right side of the screen. Basic panel details are displayed at the top of the screen. The ‘Edit’ and ‘Delete’ buttons on the top right work the same as in the Panel List described above.

4. Set upstream panel​

Clicking on the Upstream panel’s name displays a dialog which allows the user to select a new parent panel. Note that if the panel does not have a parent, the parent name is shown as a 'Select Parent' link which the user clicks to display the dialog.

Before selecting a parent panel, ensure that both the child and parent panels have values for Facility, Train and Power Type. Only panels with the same train as the child panel will be displayed in the Parent Panel dropdown

First select the facility of the parent panel and a parent panel from the dropdown list. Then use the assign icon in the circuit grid to assign the panel to a circuit (on the parent selected in the dropdown).

Compare with POR​

The Compare with POR feature allows PowerHub users to compare the loads on panels in PowerHub with the load on those panels in EasyPower or SKM. A daily sync of data from EasyPower and SKM is performed to ensure the comparison remains up to date. Users can initially compare panels at a high level and, if discrepancies in kVA load or circuits used are detected, they can select a panel for a more detailed comparison. Any differences identified between PowerHub and EasyPower or SKM can then be addressed in the appropriate system.

info

Intel sites have either EasyPower or SKM as their POR. Some sites, such as Arizona and Ronler Acres, have EasyPower as the POR, while others, like Rio Rancho, have SKM as the POR. Certain sites, such as Ireland, have both EasyPower and SKM as the POR (For Ireland, the F34 facility has EasyPower as the POR, whereas the F14 and F24 facilities have SKM as the POR).

Selecting Compare with POR from the Panels menu at the top of the PowerHub app will bring the user to the Panels Comparison page.

This page has the following features:

  1. Facility dropdown
  2. Comparative Panel List grid
  3. Panel Summary grids - POR and PowerHub
  4. Panel search box
  5. Export Button
  6. Clear Filters Button

1. Facility Dropdown​

It displays the list of all facilities that have POR (SKM/EasyPower) data in the database within the currently selected site. Users can select only one facility at a time from this dropdown.

info

If no facilities appear in the facility dropdown for a selected site, it indicates that the site does not have any POR data.

If only some facilities are displayed while others are missing, it means that POR data is available only for the displayed facilities under the selected site.

2. Comparative Panel List Grid​

This grid lists all panels from PowerHub and POR (EasyPower/SKM) for the facility selected in the Facility dropdown. It displays the load and circuit count for each panel from both sources and also displays the differences in circuit count and load between PowerHub and POR (EasyPower/SKM).

The grid contains the columns listed below:

FieldComments
Panel NameAll the panels from both PowerHub and POR are displayed under this column
Power TagDisplays the PowerTag associated to the panel in PowerHub
PHub LoadIt displays the sum of current and future loads on the panels. Loads from the past which have been disconnected or demoed will not be considered. Also, Load of the connected sub panels is also not considered.
POR LoadIt displays the sum of the 'kva' loads connected to circuits on the panel in POR (SKM/EasyPOwer)
Load DiffLoad difference between POR and PowerHub (POR Load - Phub Load).
PHub CCT CountIt displays the count of current and future POCs connected, POCs from the past which have been disconnected or demoed will not be considered. Also, Circuits connected to the sub panels are also not considered..
POR CCT CountIt displays the number of POCs connected to circuits on the panel in POR (SKM/EasyPOwer)
CCT Count DiffCircuit Count difference between POR and PowerHub (POR CCT Count - PHub CCT Count).
info

If a panel exists in POR but not in PowerHub, the grid will display No Panel under the Phub Load and Phub CCT Count columns. Likewise, if a panel exists in PowerHub but not in POR, the grid will display No Panel under the POR Load and POR CCT Count columns.

info

The Comparative Panel List grid may show a minor difference of less than 0.01 kVA in the Load Diff column, even when the FLA and Voltage values for the POCs in POR and PowerHub are identical for the selected panel. This is due to slight variations in the rounding logic used for kVA load calculations in PowerHub and POR. This does not affect the overall accuracy of the data.

This grid provides a high-level comparison of load and circuit count differences for all panels. To view detailed differences for a specific panel, users can click on the panel. This will display its detailed data from both POR and PowerHub in the panel summary grids.

3. Panel Summary grids - POR and PowerHub​

When a user selects a panel in the Comparative Panel List grid, the POC load assignment details of that panel are displayed in the below two Panel Summary grids.

  1. The Panel Summary - POR grid shows the load assignment details on the panel from POR.

    • If the POR for the selected facility is EasyPower, the grid is labeled as Panel Summary - POR (EasyPower).

    • If the POR for the selected facility is SKM, the grid is labeled as Panel Summary - POR (SKM).

  2. The Panel Summary - PowerHub grid shows the load assignment details on the panel from PowerHub.

Demo DateTool Demoed Date (Taken from PowerHub)Tool Demoed Date
Tool EventRefer the note below for populating the Tool Event for SKM and EasyPowerN/A

For SKM, as agreed with the Intel SME, the Description field must follow a specific format:

  1. It should include both the Tool Name and the POC Reference Number.

  2. The POC Reference Number should have a hyphen ('-') before the letter E and a space at the end (Example: STO701 -E10 RMT AC)

Additionally, users must provide the Tool Life.

info

  • If the Tool Life is not provided, or the Description field does not contain the Tool Name, then the Entity Name will not be populated correctly in the Panel Summary - POR grid.

  • If the POC Reference Number does not follow the required format, it will not be populated correctly in the grid.

Users must enter the information accurately in the agreed format in the Description field of SKM to ensure that the Entity Name and POC Reference fields display the correct data in the Panel Summary-POR grid.

info

Tool Event Logic:

  1. For SKM:

    • If the tool in the Description field contains () brackets, we load Demo in this field.
    • If the tool in the Description field contains <> brackets, we load Future in this field.
    • If the tool in the Description field contains no brackets, we leave this field blank.

  2. For EasyPower: Status field from ECCM taken as Tool Event.

info

The Panel Summary grids display all load assignments, including past, current, and future loads. However, past/demoed loads are not included in the calculations for PHub Load, POR Load, PHub CCT Count, and POR CCT Count in the Comparative Panel List grid.

info

POR (SKM & EasyPower) data does not contain Demo Date and Install Date. So these dates are taken from PowerHub and displayed in the POR grid.

The two grids visually highlight the demo tools, and the differences in POC assignments on a panel between POR and PowerHub.

  1. Demo Tools: If a tool is a demo tool, the corresponding row will be highlighted in gray in both grids.

  2. Differences in POC assignments: Differences are identified based on the unique combination of Entity Name and POC Reference.

    • If a combination of Entity Name and POC Reference exists in the POR grid but not in the PowerHub grid, it will be highlighted in sky blue color in the POR grid.
    • Similarly, if a combination exists in PowerHub but not in POR, it will also be highlighted in sky blue color in the PowerHub grid.

Users can use this search box to find a specific panel. If the panel is available, the Comparative Panel List grid will be filtered to display the searched panel. If the panel is not available, users will see a message: The panel is not available under the selected facility and site

5. Export​

Users can use this Export button to export the entire Comparative Panel List grid data to excel.

6. Clear Filters​

Users can click the Clear Filters button to reset all applied filters across all grids and the panel search box.
