Abstract

Power quality concerns the electrical interaction (through voltages and currents) between the electricity grid and equipment connected to it. The field of power quality is subdivided into different types of disturbances, each of which represent one specific deviation from the ideal voltage and/or current. Section 17.1 will introduce the power-quality field, including terminology and a brief history. One of the disturbance types, waveform distortion, or harmonics, is discussed in detail in Sect. 17.2. Other types of disturbances are discussed briefly in Sect. 17.3.
