Square D Services From Schneider Electric Presents The 2009 Energy And Power Distribution Conference
The annual Energy and Power Distribution Conference will be held Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009, through Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009, at the Houston Hobby Airport Marriott in Houston.
Square D Services has created this unique learning environment in which industrial, commercial and utility end users come together to discuss emerging industry trends and the latest energy and electrical issues and solutions. The conference will feature best practices from presenters who are specialists in electrical distribution, energy management and arc flash safety.
Every year, energy and power distribution issues arise as technology evolves. New laws are enacted, and safety requirements change. Yesterday's solutions to electrical issues might not be current today. The conference features two technical tracks, Power System Equipment Reliability and Energy Management, which focus on updated electrical safety standards, compliance regulations, technologies and electrical equipment modernization. In addition, the conference agenda includes two panel sessions that will give attendees a chance to direct questions to industry experts. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available upon request.
"The goal of the Energy and Power Distribution Conference is to educate professionals in areas that will increase safety, reduce lifecycle and facility costs, increase energy efficiency and maximize power system reliability. Attendees will receive updates on pertinent issues while learning about and discussing new technologies and service solutions in a non-commercial environment," said Mike Rice, vice president of Square D Services.
The 2009 Energy and Power Distribution Conference will begin Sept. 29 with a welcome reception, an ideal time for professional networking. The keynote speaker will address attendees to kick off a full day of seminars Sept. 30. That evening, attendees will come together for more networking and socializing.

Cutting Costs With Energy Auditing
This articles comes from Reliable Plant magazine. Paul Twite of 24-7 Power, an electrical consulting and engineering service company, describes how he helps companies become more energy efficient."Twite uses a three-step approach to help a company lower its energy bills. With the right tools and knowledge, your company can follow the same process using your own personnel. Here’s how it works:"
Step 1: Energy accounting
Step 2: Analysis and identifying problems
Step 3: Proposing and prioritizing solutions
This is how Twite describes step 1: "This step consists of three parts: 1) reviewing utility bills, 2) using thermal imagers to scan the electrical, mechanical, process and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) systems as well as the building envelope (everything that separates the interior of a building from the outdoor environment) and 3) monitoring for power consumption, power quality, power factor and other relevant aspects of energy use."
