Future Directions and Opportunities for Power Quality Enhancement

  • Chapter
Power Quality Enhancement Using Custom Power Devices

Abstract

There are many developing aspects to the production and delivery of energy. The increased role for power quality will drive an increasing use of compensating devices either as stand alone or in combination with energy delivery. This chapter will explore some of these emerging aspects in the existing system and speculate on the future shape of the delivery and the role of compensators.
