Moffett Park Business Group is active with the grid infrastructure project. We are a charter member of the Quality Portal Project. The system will collect event data from instrumentation at member sites, as well as provide an opportunity for members to input on business impacts. Our members will benefit with an immediate view of recent incidents in the area. They will also see plots of incidents over time versus various power quality standards such as CBEMA-ITIC or P1668, and on a geographic overlay and have access to root cause information when determined. Our goals aim to facilitate improved power quality and resiliency in the area, incorporate leading smart grid power quality standards, and enable the zone to serve as a model and test bed for grid integration of distributed generation, electric vehicles, and advanced industrial uses.
