Power Quality is rapidly declining. This is a real problem.
Exergy Energy, your Concierge Utility®, has been helping our industrial customers with the issues of declining power quality. Momentary outages, that may only last a couple of seconds and are not reported by the utility, can take down a manufacturing facility for several hours. Voltage sags and phase drops are all occurring at an astonishing and increasing rate. This morning on my Bloomberg news feed I received the following:
“At least 1 million US homes are at risk because of something most Americans don’t know much about: dangerous power quality. When homes experience stable power quality, it means the flow of electricity powering lights and appliances is being delivered at an even and predictable pace, ensuring electricity consumption is perfectly matched with supply every minute of the day. It’s the sudden surges or sags of voltage that can lead to disaster. Interviews with more than two dozen experts, along with exclusive data, public reports and regulatory filings, paint the picture of a country dealing with power quality that’s rapidly worsening, with potentially deadly consequences.”
