Advanced Membership

Welcome to the Advanced Level Membership for PBE Engineers, LLC!

Subscribing to this level of membership grants you access to the Intermediate Level plus a focus on solving & preventing PAR problems.

An acceptable level of electric reliability, availability & power quality for your facility or plant can only be achieved through understanding, identifying, solving & preventing (UISP) electrical problems that impact these performance areas critical to the financial success of your business.

Learning how to start solving & preventing reliability, availability & power quality for your facility or plant can only be achieved through understanding, identifying, solving & preventing (UISP) electrical problems that impact these performance areas critical to the financial success of your business.

Learning how to start solving & preventing reliability, availability & power quality problems requires that customers next develop an advanced-level knowledge of the PAR concepts. This will take you even deeper into the problems answering the questions:

  • How do I keep them out of my facility or plant?
  • What are the benefits of keeping them out of my facility or plant?
  • What part of my O&M program needs to be revised to keep them out of my facility or plant?

Having an Advanced Level Membership provides you access to:

Description of the e-Benefits You Receive

Cost

BASIC

Receive an email of our quarterly e-Newsletter – topics:

  • PAR Tip of the Quarter – Learn a basic tip important to understanding the fundamental concepts of PAR.

  • PAR Definition of the Quarter – Learn one new semi-technical definition about the PAR concept, why it is important to know this term & where it came from.

  • PAR Customer or Industry Focus of the Quarter – Learn why PAR is important to the financial success of one Customer Sector or Industry Type. Why should end users in one Customer Sector or Industry Type have PBE Engineers conduct an evaluation of their facility or plant?

  • PAR Mitigation Technology of the Quarter – Learn about one PAR mitigation technology &  why it is important to solve & prevent electrical problems with this technology.

  • Introduction to One of the PAR Standards – Learn about one domestic or international standard relevant to the PAR concepts. Why was this standard developed? What does it mean? How can application of this standard be applied to reduce the risks of PAR problems in your facility or plant?

Access to our Customer & Industry brochures describing typical electrical problems, why it is important to address them & recommended next steps.

Summary Case Studies – one new case added each quarter

FREE

Intermediate

  • Access to our Basic Level of membership

  • Access to all PAR Tips of the Quarter

  • Access to all PAR Definitions of the Quarter

  • Access to all PAR Customer or Industry Focuses of the Quarter

  • Access to all PAR Mitigation Technologies of the Quarter

  • Access to this discussion of all PAR Standards

  • Access to at least one new detailed PAR Case Study every quarter

TBD

Advanced

  • Access to our Intermediate Level of membership

  • Access to one PAR Technical Commentary per quarter – Learn the theory behind PAR concepts for those interested in understanding how the theory supports a specific area of concern within PAR. Understanding the theory will help you understand more about why a concern is real & how varying its parameters can result in a “not so bad” problem becoming a “catastrophic problem."

  • Additional technical concepts added every quarter

TBD

Having access to PAR Technical Commentaries will allow you to begin deepening your knowledge of the theory behind the PAR problems, why specific parameters are important to control when trying to mitigate them. This will help you tie your PAR concepts together to start you on the path to becoming a PAR expert.

As end user technologies change every day, your interest in advancing your understanding of the PAR concepts is key to keeping up with new PAR concepts & what is needed to prevent new PAR problems. This is evidenced by the new problems we’re experiencing now, which are the ones we only spoke about 20 years ago.

With the implementation of DER technologies & electric vehicles, we can expect new problems to develop. This will require new understanding, new methods of identifying problems as well as new methods of solving & preventing them.
