The power quality has started to play an important role in the electronic industry. As the power providers are turning to smart grid and smart meters, the standards for power quality needs to be revisited. The power quality can be categorized into two groups, one addressing the standard for the power quality supplied at the grid level and the other group which deals with the factors that affect the power quality at user level. These factors include harmonics, voltage changes, sags, transients, voltage unbalance, etc. These factors will provide us in-depth details on the power system. In this paper, an overview of various factors will be presented in order which can affect the power quality of the system. The paper will also look briefly at the measurement techniques used to measure them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
