Power Quality (PQ) has become increasingly important for industrial and commercial electric power customers, particularly as today’s manufacturing and control processes rely on computerized equipment which is sensitive to power system interruptions and disturbances. Power Quality is simply the characteristic of the energy or electrical supply by the utility such as Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) which might affect the load (electrical equipments that are connected for an electrical supply) or vise versa.
There are wide range of factors that can cause power quality problems in your facility. Each problem can generate a number of these costs. Predicting the exact cost is difficult, but poor power quality and poor power system performance can cause sufficient losses to justify fixing the problem. Power quality problems are compounded by the difficulty of identifying potential causes. This is primarily because the cause may be within your facility or hundreds of miles away on the utility power grid. Power quality analysis or investigations focus on the cost impact of power problems. These can include :
- Facility or equipment downtime
- Scrapping of products and raw materials
- Process or equipment restart
- Repair or replacement of damaged machines and equipment
- Operating at less than optimal efficiency
- Increased utility demand charges
