POWER QUALITY AND DISTRIBUTED GENERATION is intended as a reading material to enhance the fundamentals on power quality issues, standards and various solutions. The importance of power quality in the distributed generation systems is also discussed. The various power quality issues such as sag, swell, interruptions, transients, harmonics etc. are discussed. The fundamentals of power quality compensation along with various power electronics based solutions for power quality are also discussed. The proliferation of distributed generation in the systems raises a question on power quality caused by these systems as well as the effect of power quality issues on distributed generation systems.
