Before the electric utility, people had to generate their own power to run their machines - with waterwheels or steam engines or just their own muscles. But […]

Electrical power is far from being an invariable energy resource, insofar as it is subject to the influence of users.
To this end Leonardo Energy helps to evaluate the costs of low power quality. The European Power Quality Survey Report, published in November 2008, highlights that 151.8 billion euros are wasted in Europe every year, not […]
In 1882 Edison switched on the world’s first large-scale electrical supply network that provided 110 volts direct current to fifty-nine customers in Manhattan; in 1883 in Milan, between Santa Radegonda and Agnello streets, started the production the 1st power station among Continental Europe.
The birth of the first power stations was a crucial junction in the […]
In order for power to be usable (e.g. high-quality), its characteristics must be within the tolerances of the supplied load. Therefore it is not enough for power to be present. Let’s take this necessary condition as the starting point for the analysis.
Power distribution
Information on electrical power quality is somewhat scarse. The main independent sources of information […]
