With the generalized use of personal computers, microelectronic-based instrumentation and other susceptible devices, the subject of power quality and its link to the vulnerability of high-tech facilities is of concern. In the 21st century, instrumentation and control operations require high quality and ultra-reliable power in quantities and time frames not yet experienced. This book discusses the modern mitigation technologies employed in power quality and recent challenges. Topics...
More DescriptionWith the generalized use of personal computers, microelectronic-based instrumentation and other susceptible devices, the subject of power quality and its link to the vulnerability of high-tech facilities is of concern. In the 21st century, instrumentation and control operations require high quality and ultra-reliable power in quantities and time frames not yet experienced. This book discusses the modern mitigation technologies employed in power quality and recent challenges. Topics include: how to deal with the characteristics of power quality studies; how common power disturbances can affect circuit and process design; the implications electromagnetic compatibility has on the equipment and installation design; how power electronic devices can improve the power quality of the distribution supply; and, advances in IT that support a better power quality. This book introduces advanced concepts to engineers and students and is a reference for facility electrical power engineers and maintenance technicians.
