12、The termpower quality has become one of the most prolific buzzwords in thepower industry since the late 1980s.It is an umbrella concept for a mul-titude of individual types of power system disturbances.The issuesthat fall under this umbrella are not necessarily new.What is new isthat engineers are n
13、ow attempting to deal with these issues using asystem approach rather than handling them as individual problems.There are four major reasons for the increased concern:1.Newer-generation load equipment,with microprocessor-based con-trols and power electronic devices,is more sensitive to power qual-it
14、y variations than was equipment used in the past.2.The increasing emphasis on overall power system efficiency hasresulted in continued growth in the application of devices such ashigh-efficiency,adjustable-speed motor drives and shunt capacitorsfor power factor correction to reduce losses.This is re
15、sulting inincreasing harmonic levels on power systems and has many peopleconcerned about the future impact on system capabilities.3.End users have an increased awareness of power quality issues.Utility customers are becoming better informed about such issues asinterruptions,sags,and switching transi
16、ents and are challengingthe utilities to improve the quality of power delivered.4.Many things are now interconnected in a network.Integratedprocesses mean that the failure of any component has much moreimportant consequences.Chapter1Source:Electrical Power Systems QualityDownloaded from Digital Engineering Library McGraw-Hill()Copyright 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies.All rights reserved.Any use is subject to the Terms of Use as given at the website.The common thread running though all these reas
