The reporting of power quality (PQ) requires consideration as different users of information on Quality of Supply (QoS) have different needs. Reporting on the compliancy of voltage regulation in terms of a PQ standard can be done without detail knowledge of such standard as demonstrated in this paper. This concept is claimed to be useful for the operators of the network as the parameters under their control are used in this reporting approach.

Extracting useful network management information from a large volume of QoS data obtained all over a network can be simplified by innovative data mining techniques. The need for QoS expertise is reduced as interactive visualization by brushing and linking of datasets reveals interrelation of parameters. Data contextualization by annotated data can aid the assessment on the global level of compatibility between supply and use conditions. Data dashboards can further simplify the analysis of QoS data by recognizing the network connectivity of different sites, seasonal effects and direction of voltage waveform events.
