This book deals the interest to both utility engineers and industrial engineers ,technicians and students. The book has be of interest to designers of manufacturing equipment, computers, appliances, and other load equipment. This will help designers learn about the environment in which their equipment must operate. This book hopefully will serve as common ground on which these three entities—utility, customer, and equipment supplier—can meet to resolve problems. It is intended to serve both as a reference book and a textbook for utility distribution engineers and key technical personnel with industrial end users. There are parts of the book are tutorial in nature for the newcomer to power quality and power systems, and others are very technical, intended strictly as reference for the experienced practitioner. It provides background material on the different types of power quality phenomena and describes standard terms and definitions for power quality phenomena. It is describing four major classes of power quality variations in detail: sags and interruptions, transients, harmonics, and long-duration voltage variations. It describes the basic harmonic phenomena, concentrates on methods for dealing with harmonic distortion, describes techniques for benchmarking power quality and how to apply power quality standards, provides an overview of the overall power quality standards structure, addresses the subject of distributed generation (DG) interconnected to the distribution system, provides a concise summary of key wiring and grounding problems and gives some general guidance on identifying and correcting them, provides a guide for site surveys and power quality monitoring and it has been completely updated to address the new monitoring technologies. .Download this book from rapidshare
