Power Quality Australia
Power Quality Australia was formed in 1996 to work with industry to improve the quality of electrical supply to industrial, commercial and domestic users. The strength of the centre comes from it's strong collaboration with industry and it's extensive knowledge base. The centre carried out the first ever power quality survey in Australia. Regular annual surveys have followed and these provide the participants with detailed assessments of performance comparisons with the industry and advice and recommendations for future operations.
