Power Quality Issues in Power Systems

Abstract

Power quality in power system is one of the most important researches in the recent age, many researchers working in this area keeping objective to achieve quality power. This paper presents power quality issues in power systems, especially in INDIA. It also includes the various causes of power quality problems, their impact and precautionary measure to solve the power quality issues. Various mitigating devices used to solve various power quality problems and some methods suggested improving the power quality. Different types of controller and their specific applications also presented. A Hybrid APF designee is also suggested to mitigate the harmonics in power lines. Finally, the paper is designed to give an overview of power quality phenomenon in power system and can be utilized by the researchers those working in the area of power quality.
