The future of Power Quality and Energy Measurement - Impact on Global Warming
(Apr 9, 2009)Alex McEachern, President, Power Standards, Lab, California delivered a lecture under the auspices of PES Chapter on Thursday, the 9th April 2009 at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)-Dubai, According to him, the biggest opportunity for energy reduction is found in machines, systems and load designs. Designers today continue to be challenged with the need for more energy efficient systems to manage growing power demand and safeguard environment. There are huge opportunities for energy reduction. Traditionally, power quality and energy monitors have been used for two main purposes: statistical surveys and solving intermittent problems. But Power Quality and Energy monitors available today cheap enough to integrate them in any piece of equipment, control power flow and energy consumption much more intelligently.
