9 Power Xpert Reporting helps bring information from the
software together. Power Xpert Software brings together your
9 power system information from around the floor to around the
world—data and information that is invaluable. Power Xpert
9 Reporting brings all the power system information together to
compare, contrast and generally give you the big picture. Power
9 Xpert Reporting provides a standard set of reports, including:
● Data Center Efficiency Report: A summary of data center
9 infrastructure efficiency and power usage effectiveness,
including such information as temperature and humidity, and
9 energy consumption
● Greenhouse Gas Report: Captures the six offensive
9 greenhouse gasses: Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen
Oxide, Mercury, Methane and Nitrous Oxide broken down by
selected locations within a facility
9 ● Utilities Report: Captures consumption of water, air, gas,
electricity and steam (WAGES)
9 ● Capacity Summary Report: The summary of top- and
bottom-loaded circuits, as well as loading details for each
9 circuit according to user-defined date/time range and facility
hierarchy location
9 ● Branch Circuit Monitoring Report: Determine branch circuit
loading levels at a glance with color-coded graphics indicating
9 loading status against capacity. Redundant sources can be
reviewed, as well as single source loads
9 ● Energy Summary Report: The summary of consumption
(kWh) and demand (kW) for a user-defined date/time range
and facility hierarchy location
9 ● Energy Cost Allocation Report: The total energy bill dollar
value or a cost per kWh across a facility hierarchy for a user-
9 defined date/time range
● Power Quality Report: The distribution and trend for amps,
9 volts and THD according to user-defined date/time ranges and
facility hierarchy location
9 ● Event Summary Report: Provides a Pareto chart of events
according to user-defined date/time ranges and facility
9 hierarchy location
● Joint Commission Report: Standard Joint Commission
9 compliant report supports hospital power test requirements.
It checks events, key metrics of generators and automatic
9 transfer switches (ATS) during generator testing at user-
defined date/time ranges and facility hierarchy location
