The Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) just published its 4th Benchmarking Report on the Quality of Electricity Supply. It deals with three types of electricity quality: the speed and accuracy with which electricity customer requests are handled (commercial quality); the availability of electricity (continuity); and its technical properties (voltage quality).
Lord Mogg, CEER President, said, “In order to ensure that quality is not compromised as electricity companies seek to cut costs, more and more regulators have introduced electricity quality incentive/penalty regimes.”

The Israel Electric corp. deployed a nationwide Power Quality Monitoring System (PQMS). The PQMS monitors the quality of supply of all of its high voltage costumers, as well as a sample of its medium voltage customers. The PQMS monitors both the voltages and the currents. The PQMS has been operational since October 2005. The paper presents preliminary measurement results obtained from the PQMS.

This mini site presents the results of European PQ Survey with a focus on power quality critical sectors.
The main brochure explains why the industrial sectors interviewed lose annually upwards of €150 billion as a direct result of their electrical power installations not being sufficiently reliable and resilient for today’s and future operating demands.

The previous information age has spurred a tremendous growth in telecommunication in order to propagate, debatably, the single most important commercial resource of our time: information. In the current intangible economy age the focus has shifted to not only propagating, but also capturing this valuable resource and making it accessible around the clock in a reliable manner. Hence came forth the data center, also referred to as a server farm or, when dedicated to providing Internet-related content, an Internet Data Center (IDC).
