Abstract
Power quality problems are not new in power systems, but the general customers’ awareness of these problems has increased in the recent years. Modern technology such as computers and controls are largely responsible for the rise in the impacts of power quality but can also provide a tailor-made solution to these problems. Often these solutions are expensive, and in many cases, the cost has to be borne by the customer. Thus before the application of a power quality solution, the problem has to be analyzed in details and the cost to benefit ratio must also be calculated. The specifics of the analysis of power quality problems are an important issue and will be covered in this chapter.
