Power Quality Standards, Problems and their Solutions

Recently, power quality has become an important subject and area of research because of its increasing awareness and impacts on the consumers, manufacturers, and utilities. There are a number of economic and reliability issues for satisfactory operation of electrical equipment. As power quality problems are increasing manifold due to the use of solid-state controllers, which cannot be dispensed due to many financial benefits, energy conservation, and other production benefits, the research and development in mitigation techniques for power quality problems is also becoming relevant and important to limit the pollution of the supply system. In such a situation, it is quite important to study the causes, effects, and mitigation techniques for power quality problems. In this paper different power quality standards like standards such as IEEE 519-1992, IEC 61000, and many others in different countries have been developed on the permissible limits in the levels of deviations and distortions in various electrical quantities such as voltage, current, and power factor are being discussed. Further power quality problems and their possible solutions are also discussed.
