Reducing Power Quality Incidents Through Local Power Quality Communities

In the Silicon Valley many Fortune 500 companies cannot afford downtime. The lost productivity, damaged equipment, lost data and disruption to business could cost millions to an organization. The quality of service provided by the utility is a crucial factor in the uptime of critical systems. Local Power Quality Communities, also known as Share PQ, can help to reduce the number and severity of incidents and improve the power quality in the region. This case study will detail how an initiative started by Joint Venture Silicon Valley called SEEDZ was able to lower power quality incidents for NetApp using a power quality community created by APT.
