To take advantage of the PQ Online Resource Center, please register for MyPQ. “Guest Level” access privileges will be granted initially to all registrants. “Funder Level” access will be granted automatically to funders through manual review of new “MyPQ” registrants — a process that may require 1-2 working days. Please contact Bill Howe if you are an EPRI PQ Knowledge (PS1D) funder and your need for “Funder Level” access is urgent.
Again, Welcome to the PQ Online Resource Center!
Call of the Month for May 2009
Via EPRI's PQ Knowledge (PQK) Power Quality Hotline, a PQK funder asked EPRI engineers about the PQ implications of conservation voltage regulation (CVR). CVR refers to the management of distribution system voltage for the purpose of reducing power and thus energy consumption. Electric utilities have long known that raising or lowering distribution voltage can have an effect on energy use, and that by lowering steady state voltage by a few percentage points, the grid can be made a source of energy savings. This PQ Knowledge Call of the Month examines data from the testing of a pair of lamps to determine the energy savings potential of CVR and if there are any adverse steady-state power quality- or performance-related issues.
EPRI PQA/ADA 2009 Conference
Practical Applications and Challenges in Power Quality and Advanced Distribution Automation
June 29-July 1, 2009
Location: Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan New York, New York
Come join us this summer in the Big Apple as we began a new era in Power Quality (PQ) and Advanced Distribution and Automation. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and ConEdison invite you to the 2009 EPRI Power Quality Applications (PQA) and Advanced Distribution Automation (ADA®) 2009 Conference and Exhibition. This year’s conference will look at the challenges we face in the PQ and ADA field in an era of change.
PQView / PQWeb Users Group
The PQView® Users Group is intended to assist power quality engineers in managing and analyzing power quality data. The user group's purpose is to support and inform the PQView user and to provide a forum for communication and sharing of ideas among its members.
