As a citizen of a developed country, I take for granted the luxury of reliable power. Like me, most people go about their lives with little thought about the complex systems that deliver electricity to all the devices and equipment we rely on. We are so accustomed to consistent on-demand power that we notice disruptions in the power grid that are a fraction of a second. If the lights so much as flicker, we perk up. In fact, in the U.S., the average frequency for customers to experience a power outage is only 1.4 per year, which equates to only 5 and a half hours. This is an incredible feat when you consider all of the elements that make up our power grid.
Marvel Manufacturing proudly serves customers who manufacture essential components that allow us to enjoy reliable power 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The average power consumer is familiar with the light switch and the power lines that connect to their home. Still, there are so many systems that ensure we have uninterrupted electricity. Behind the scenes of a sophisticated power grid are devices that use advanced technology to detect power disruptions and make a multitude of alterations to the system without a human even being aware of it. Besides the obvious power lines that cross continents to keep our electricity needs met there are meters, fault detectors, overload protection, and power management software. To go even further, there is an increasingly greater need to provide security solutions to our power grid. This means hardware and software that is resilient to cyber-attacks.
Many of these devices utilize precision machined components and other hardware and electronics. Marvel Manufacturing offers many machining solutions to provide the vast array of parts that go into these assemblies. We value our customers who continue to innovate in the energy industry, which we depend on.
