The emerging need for improved power quality


Power quality is a major concern for anyone involved in the generation, transmission, and distribution of power, as well as for many industrial and commercial consumers. From the influx of renewable on to the grid to the increasing demand for reactive power compensation to network surge sensitivity in data centers, billions of dollars in revenue are lost each year as a result of power quality issues that cause hours of downtime, lost productivity and the need to repair or replace equipment prematurely leading to higher energy bills. With the right analysis and solutions, both utilities and consumers can tackle power quality issues so that the broad benefits can be fully realized.

This webinar dives into what power quality is and why it matters, what challenges it poses to utility, renewable and industrial applications, as well as ways to improve reliability and availability of power in the supply network, ensure energy efficiency and help lower the impact on the environment.
