Visualize high-resolution power system data and generate reports using Synchrowave Reports. This web-based software helps you better analyze, organize, and share the historical data you collect from SEL meters and other IEDs across your system. It supports you in making planning, operating, and accounting decisions to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Synchrowave Reports can be configured with report templates designed to support metering data analysis and power quality monitoring.
Synchrowave Reports can be licensed with a Meter Data option or a Power Quality option. The Meter Data option offers report types that support data analysis through tables, static graphs, and dynamic charts. The Power Quality option offers all Meter Data reports and adds IEEE 519 compliance reports. Both the Meter Data and Power Quality options can be bundled with SEL software for automated data collection.
Visualize and Analyze Power System Data—Derive more insights out of the historical data you collect from meters or other power system IEDs. Analyze long-term data trends or use interactive graphs to drill down and isolate events or time periods of interest. Examine data in the Synchrowave Reports web interface or export data for further analysis.
Retrieve Reports On Demand or by Email—Generate reports on demand or have them automatically delivered to your email inbox at 15-minute, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly intervals. Choose between PDF or CSV file formats.
Simplify Access With Web-Based Software—Access Synchrowave Reports from any location, and simplify software licensing and maintenance. Take advantage of security features that maintain data confidentiality, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication.
Optimize Your System with Meter Data Reports—Visualize and report on system-wide meter data, including voltage sag, swell, and interruption (VSSI) data; Load Data Profile (LDP) information; Sequential Events Recorder (SER) data; and water, air, gas, electricity, and steam (WAGES) consumption details. Use meter data to validate usage patterns and identify areas for improvement, such as opportunities to avoid peak demand charges by moving overlapping electric processes to off-peak hours. ITI (CBEMA) curves and detailed voltage event tables help you recognize power disturbance issues before they affect equipment.
Monitor Power Quality and Confirm Compliance—Easily monitor power quality and confirm compliance with IEEE Std 519, Standard for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems. Innovations in ac/dc and dc/ac power conversion have led to the growing adoption of technologies that increase harmonic distortion on distribution and transmission lines, which negatively affect neighboring loads and generation sources. With Synchrowave Reports, you can monitor a single point or an entire power system to support compliance activities and help detect distortions that cause excess heat, efficiency loss, system capacity reduction, and other issues.
Synchrowave Reports works in coordination with acSELerator Team SEL-5045 Software. Team regularly polls the meter and collects LDP and other data, archiving it in an acSELerator Database.
Access Synchrowave Reports through a web browser. Information for report generation, viewing, analysis, and distribution is retrieved through the acSELerator Database by the Synchrowave Platform.
Synchrowave Reports includes several report templates to simplify data analysis out of the box. Each Synchrowave Reports configuration option includes a default set of reports to meet an application’s needs.
The Meter Data option includes reports to access and organize metering data collected and stored by Team. Use interactive charts and reports to quickly identify trends and opportunities for improvement, as well as validate usage patterns. In just a few clicks, operators can export and email reports in PDF or CSV format for easy sharing or further analysis in third-party software.
Meter Data reports can be used to organize data from site-wide metering points and analyze the consumption of energy during different periods. Avoid peak demand charges and optimize schedules that move overlapping electric processes to off-peak hours. ITI (CBEMA) curves and detailed voltage event tables can indicate power disturbance issues before they affect equipment.
The Power Quality option offers all Meter Data reports and adds an IEEE 519 compliance report, which streamlines power quality compliance monitoring. Users can receive daily or weekly detailed reports with current and voltage harmonics up to the 50th harmonic for each metering point.
Within ac power systems, the most efficient transfer of energy is with a pure sinusoidal waveform, as it only contains the fundamental frequency. Innovations in ac/dc and dc/ac power conversion have led to growing adoption of technologies that produce nonlinear distortions in power systems, such as energy-efficient LED lighting, variable-frequency drives, and power inverters. The switching nature of these devices has increased harmonic distortion on distribution and transmission lines, which negatively affects neighboring loads and generation sources. Power quality distortions result in excess heat, efficiency loss, system capacity reduction, mechanical oscillations of motors and generators, light flickering, and other issues.

Sales Resource CentralSynchrowave Reports requires access to LDP records collected by Team and stored in an acSELerator Database. Licenses for the necessary software are available as a software bundle per metering point or as individual components in larger quantities.
For more details on licensing options, please contact your local SEL sales representative.
Synchrowave Reports can generate the following report templates:
Visualize device status and measurement point names, locations, time zones, time offsets, and more.
Quickly identify the exact time of power loss events, settings changes, voltage disturbances, digital state changes, and meter access in a precise time-stamped summary report of device and system events.
Aggregate LDP data from one or more measurement points, up to 16 distinct channels, including timed interval quantities like current, voltage, frequency, and power. Refine data selection with an interactive graph that displays metering data for a specified time period. Analyze trends and inspect records from a metering point, device, or group that you select.
View event summaries, including ITI categorization, with the VSSI Summary Report. Use the VSSI Detail Report to analyze events with detailed VSSI data (using variable sampling rate records) in tabular format. Identify points of interest with 4 ms resolution. Interactive charts help determine the time, duration, severity, and location of power quality disturbances.
Combine water, air, gas, electricity, and steam (WAGES) consumption from third-party pulse-output meters and convert pulses to engineering units using the scaling features of the Signals Report. Interactive charts and tabular reports help you thoroughly analyze system-wide resource consumption.
Identify distortion at the point of common coupling that produces undesirable harmonics on the power system. Easily confirm compliance with IEEE 519. One-page summary reports document pass or fail information for voltage and current. Summary reports also provide site information, including location, device type, and system configuration, to support asset management. Detailed reports combine summary report information with individual voltage and current harmonic values for each metering point, up to the 50th harmonic. This granularity helps identify exact frequency ranges that cause harmonic distortion.
