  • Abstract
    The high-tech and knowledge-oriented businesses of the 21st Century require high quality and ultra-reliable power in the quantities and time-frames which have not been experienced before. For mission-critical information systems, the availability of enhanced electric power is a far more important consideration than the commodity cost of electricity. This paper surveys such needs and highlights the electric utility and industry practices around the US to meet such demands for high quality power
