The Concept and International Standards of Power Quality

전력 품질의 개념 정립과 국제 표준 비교

The dependence of modern life upon the continuous supply of electrical energy makes system reliability and power quality topics of the utmost importance in the power systems. Power quality is the combination of voltage quality and current quality. But in this paper, voltage quality and harmonic distortion are focused. Transient phenomena and current quality are not included. Voltage quality is split into voltage sags. voltage swells, and short interruptions. These voltage variations are studied on their definitions, origins, the effect on electric equipment. Related industrial standards and guidelines are summarized. Harmonic voltage and current distortion are strongly linked. The concepts and contributions of harmonic distortions are studied. Typical symptoms of harmonic problems and a summary of the trends and guidelines are given.
