The subject of power quality embraces a very wide and diverse
field of both system and customer problems. There are many
requirements for appropriate solutions, from simple power
factor corrections of a load to sophisticated load flow control in
a high-voltage transmission system. It can be simply defined as
the quality of power supplied to the end user. The evaluation of
power quality improvement alternatives is an exercise in
economics. Utility engineers must evaluate the economic
impacts of the power quality variations against the costs of
improving performance for the different available alternatives.
The best choice will depend on the costs of the solution and its
total operating costs. Improving facility performance during
power quality variations can result in significant savings and can
be a competitive advantage. Therefore, it is important for
customers and suppliers to work together in identifying the best
alternative for achieving the required level of performance.
