During this event, Fluegeman covered power quality and more specifically, what is considered good power quality. From there the discussion turned to power continuity and which type of system is most appropriate given the scenario.

The conversation addressed generators, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) and the advantages each one brings.

The session ends with an overview of microgrids and the facilities that may want to consider investing in one.
