Power electronic device use in consumer increases and power quality monitoring suit essential. This survey paper reviews the various recently used devices such as Remote terminal unit, digital signal processor, microcontroller, etc that monitor the power quality issues. These devices monitor the different parameters of the power system and various events of the power quality using techniques such as Wavelet transform, S-transform, Radial Neural network, etc. The survey also discusses the communication techniques such as wireless, wire-based communication used for the transmission of data from the power system network to the system operator and control techniques such as Dynamic Voltage Restorer, Shunt Active Power Filter, etc. In addition to that, this paper discusses the monitoring of various power quality parameters in the transmission line using a motor load experimental setup. The SIGVIEW software captures the real time signal under different conditions and analyzes the various distributions of the signal such as frequency distribution, probability distribution, etc using MATLAB program.
