Evaluating the Actual Savings Expected from Various Power Quality Solutions
Dear IEEE Members & Friends of the Power and Energy and Power Electronics Societies in the San Diego Area
Continuing our series of talks by subject matter experts on interesting and important subjects to you, we are very privileged to have a presentation by Mr. Dan Carnovale, who is coming all the way from Pittsburgh, PA to give us a talk on the work being done on evaluating the actual savings expected from various Power Quality solutions.
Description:
Today, everyone wants to save energy. Originally, Power Quality solutions were sold as an insurance policy to avoid potential damage from power disturbances such as transients, voltage sags, interruptions or harmonics. Now, however, some Power Quality solution providers have found it more effective to promote energy savings associated with their products rather than to deal with the soft savings associated with minimizing downtime or reducing damage to electrical equipment. This allows them to show an easy ROI for their customers. While some of these solutions provide excellent protection, they may only provide very little energy savings. This presentation will discuss some of the work being done to evaluate the actual savings expected from various Power Quality solutions and will give some guidance as to the selection of these solutions based on energy savings.
