    Conclusion
    Introduction
     Both electric utilities and end users of electric power are
    becoming increasingly concerned about the quality of electric
    power.
     The term power quality has become one of the most prolific
    buzzwords in the power industry since the late 1980s.
     The Power Quality Gained Increased Impotance In Recent
    Years Due To Following Reasons :-
    • Increasing use of micro-processor based devices.
    • The increasing emphasis on overall power system efficiency
    has resulted in continued growth in the application of devices
    such as high-efficiency.
    Terms And Definitions Of Power
    Quality As Per IEEE Std. 1159
     Power Quality is defined as” any problem manifested in
    voltage, current or frequency deviations that results in the
    failure or misoperation of end users equipment.
     Technically, in engineering terms, power is the rate of energy
    delivery and is proportional to the product of the voltage and
    current.
     AC power systems are designed to operate at a sinusoidal
    voltage of a given frequency [typically 50 or 60 hertz (Hz)]
    and magnitude
     Currents from lightning strokes passing through the power
    system cause high-impulse voltages that frequently flash over
    insulation and lead to other phenomena, such as short circuits
    Significance And Importance Of
    Power Quality:
    The ultimate reason that we are interested in
    power quality is economic value.
     There are economic impacts on utilities, their
    customers, and suppliers of load equipment.
    This usually means electronically controlled,
    energy-efficient equipment that is often much
    more sensitive to deviations in the supply
    voltage than were its electromechanical
    predecessors.
    Symptoms Of Poor Power Quality
    A] Electricity bill:
    • High demand charges
    • Power Factor penalties
    B] Office Problems:
    • Dropped telephone calls
    • Equipment running hot
    C] HVAC Problems:
    • Motor Failure
    • Component Failure
    POWER Quality Problem
     Interruption:

    An intrruption occures when the supply voltage or load


    current decrase to less than 0.1 pu for a period of time not
    exceeding 1 min. Interruptions can be the result of power
    system faults, equipment failures, and control malfunctions.
     Swells :
    As well is defined as an increase to between 1.1 and 1.8 in
    rms voltage or current at the power frequency for durations
    from 0.5 cycle to 1 min.
     Transients :
    Fast rise time high voltage pulse superimposed on the
    supply voltage Can be causes by a no. of factor including
    the residual effect of lighting strikes, power factor correction
    , capacitor switching.
    Sags (dips) :
    A sag is a decrease to between 0.1 and 0.9 pu in
    rms voltage or current at the power frequency for
    durations from 0.5 cycle to 1 min.

    Flicker
    The term flicker is derived from the impact of
    the voltage fluctuation on lamps such that they
    are perceived to flicker by the human eye
