Future power quality issues

Abstract

The power system or the main grid capacity to provide a clean and steady supply of electricity is known as the power quality. Due to the bulk usage of the electronic equipment, the progress of electric power utilization and rising non-linear loads on electrical system network may leads to many power quality related issues. The power quality becomes the major issue due to increase in losses and heat, over loading of the power system etc. All electrical equipment such as motors, generators, transformers, computers, home appliances fails when it exhibits power quality issues. This paper summarizes the various power quality problems such as variation of voltage, transient, harmonics etc.
