Call for Papers: Special Issue on Power Quality

摘要

European Transactions on Electrical Power will publish a Special Issue entitled 'Power Quality'. The Guest Editor for this issue will be Professor Gary Chang and Professor Surya Santoso. Electric power quality (PQ) has been an important aspect of power engineering studies since the inception of power systems. A PQ disturbance can result in substantial costs to the system operation. Most commonly seen PQ events are associated with sags (dips), harmonics/interharmonics, transients, and system frequency variations. From the electric utility's perspective, providing good power quality is essential to the efficient and reliable operation of a power system. On the other hand, the customers' loads would like to maintain the immunity to PQ disturbances. While the majority of PQ disturbances may arise from the power grid, other PQ problems may be caused by customer side events. Therefore, prevention and mitigation of PQ disturbances are important issues for both parties. To achieve these goals many PQ issues remain as challenging tasks.
