The world is in a period of energy transformation. Demand for energy from fossil fuels is on the decline, and the use of renewable energy is rising. At the same time, energy demand keeps increasing, adding pressure to the grid. Companies throughout the world are struggling with power quality events more than ever before due to this transition.
These occurrences, commonly called voltage sags, happen when a brief duration reduction in the voltage from the electric power distribution system occurs. The effects can be disastrous causing extended unplanned downtime, increasing scrap material, and even damaging equipment.
What can be done?
The change is happening with energy production. Manufacturers need to think about how to manage through these events. This is especially true in industries like semiconductor where sensitive equipment runs 24-hours a day and voltage sags can have a big financial impact.
