Abstract
In recent years, the traditional power systems’ structures have been changed, and the concern over power quality has increased due to the new generation of load equipments. This equipment has been fully automated electronically, so it can be highly sensitive to any power quality disturbances. Indeed, power quality disturbances may cause malfunctions in the equipment, which leads to higher production costs due to decreased production efficiency. Moreover, the electronic converters in these loads produce harmonic currents that increase current distortion. Eventually, the impact of electronic converters on power quality will be increased proportional to the converters lifetime; therefore, maintaining power quality levels above specific baselines will be an essential requirement in future decades.
