What’s new in Power Quality? Not the Goal! PQM-109

The goal of quality power for your facility or application is probably still the same:

·    Supply equipment with power that does not cause malfunction or damage
·    Eliminate penalties from provider or save energy costs
·    Comply with industry standards
 
Peace of Mind
What is new in power quality is the ability to model the solution before it is installed to prove the effectiveness of the solution giving you peace of mind.  This can be done at the power electronic level which is the most precise.   

Achieving the goal is sometimes difficult.  You may be faced with a decision between multiple solutions offered by well meaning manufacturers.  Which solution will truly solve your problem or meet your needs?

Now, your system can be modeled at the actual power electronic level to predict the performance of your myriad of possible solutions.  Using circuit simulation with a comprehensive power quality analysis can save you from making an expensive mistake by evaluating various alternative solutions before you buy them.  Like a test drive before you buy it… this can give you peace of mind.
