What can plant managers do to ensure power quality, whether from their own generation or from utilities, and what are some of the issues every plant engineer needs to know when confronting this issue?

On Nov. 15, at 1:00 pm (central standard time) CSE’s sister publication Plant Engineering will host a free webcast on this topic. Senior Editor Jack Smith leads a panel of notable power quality experts through a discussion of the solutions available for plant managers who are faced with the issues of power generation and electrical costs for their plants.
