Power Quality Analytics in Modern Electrical Power Systems
The electrical power system is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Renewable energy sources, distributed generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicles (EVs), Data Centres and power-electronic converters are becoming integral components of modern electricity networks. At the same time, advanced communication, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital technologies are transforming conventional utilities into intelligent, data-driven energy systems. These developments are essential for improving the reliability, security, efficiency, and sustainability of electricity supply and for supporting global carbon-reduction and net-zero objectives. However, they also introduce new power quality (PQ) challenges. The increasing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs), EVs, and rapidly varying loads can produce disturbances that affect both the power system and the equipment connected to it.
