| Summary |
Make power deregulation work for you With deregulation, the vast pool of power customers is up for grabs. As a utility, are you ready to compete? As a customer, are you ready to choose? In Power Quality Primer, Barry Kennedy gives you specifically designed, ahead-of-the-curve methods. Utilities will learn how to: Plan successful competitive strategies for every aspect of the business Market proactive solutions to customers before needs arise Improve transmission and distribution system quality, efficiency, and power factor performance Eliminate technical problems such as over-voltages and poor grounding Design and deliver effective simulations Build customer-winning, customer-keeping quality, quality control, and service into all facets of your enterpriseAs a customer, you8217;ll learn how to pick the utility that meets your power quality needs8230;solve your own power quality problems and find cost-effective solutions8230;and perform your own power quality survey |
