Quality and Reliability Services |
Large-scale utility power outages and the functional reorganization of utility companies world-wide, along with the emergence of competitive markets have greatly increased the need for serious attention to Power Quality and Reliability problems. The Electric Power Research Institute estimates that nearly $56 billion is lost annually to power quality and reliability problems. In many cases, these problems are the result of a series of issues that a single solution cannot fully address. Working on both sides of the utility meter, using in-depth analysis is often required to fully resolve these types of problems.
