Abstract

Industrial and commercial electricity consumers and utility companies that serve them need access to power quality and reliability (PQ&R) information. This article presents several case studies from industrial applications, providing a glimpse at the potential uses of corporate-wide PQ&R information gathering, aggregation, and reporting. The system has been independently tested by several industrial users, utilities and EPRI-PEAC. Deployment of monitors continues through individual industrial and commercial sites, corporate and utility programs, and cooperative program with the DOE (Department of Energy).
