Creating a Business Case to Solve PQ Problems - Two forums reveal an education gap between customers and electric utility representatives when it comes to power quality

摘要

To develop tools for end-use customers that communicate the business effects of power quality, EPRI PEAC (now EPRI Solutions) had to first understand how customers make decisions when attempting to resolve power quality problems. To that end, Duke Energy and the Tennessee Valley Authority hosted two industry stakeholder meetings to discuss power quality business issues with representatives of a variety of industries, including textiles, plastics, health-care, hospitality, and power electronics.
