POWER QUALITY STANDARDS, PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

Power quality is one of the major concerns and emerging issues in the present era. With increasing quantities of non - linear loads being added to electrical systems, it has become necessary to investigate the power quality issues as all electrical devices are prone to failure when exposed to one or more power quality problems. This paper highlights power quality problems, effect of power quality problems in different apparatuses and methods for its correction. This paper will be very much helpful for engineers, technicians, designers, researchers and system operators as it is necessary for them to become familiar with powe r quality issues.
