Electric Power Quality

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

The chapter starts with an introduction of power quality. Different aspects are then discussed to define electric power quality. Different sub-branches in power quality study are discussed. After this, disturbances normally occurred in power system are discussed. Short definitions of these power system disturbances are presented. Power quality related problems are summarized. Different guidelines given by IEC, IEEE, etc. are presented in tabular form.
