Power quality describes a set of parameters of electric power and the load’s ability to function properly under specific conditions. It is estimated that problems relating to power quality costs the European industry hundreds of billions of Euros annually. In contrast, financing for the prevention of these problems amount to fragments of these costs. Power Theories for Improved Power Quality addresses this imbalance by presenting and assessing a range of methods and problems related to improving the quality of electric power supply.Focusing particularly on active compensators and the DSP based control algorithms, Power Theories for Improved Power Quality introduces the fundamental problems of electrical power. This introduction is followed by chapters which discuss:‘Power theories’ including their historical development and application to practical problems,operational principles of active compensator’s DSP control based algorithms using examples and results from laboratory research, andthe key areas of application for these methods and suggested practical solutions.Power Theories for Improved Power Quality is a key study resource for students in engineering and technical degrees as well as a reference for professional and practitioners in the electrical energy sector working with power quality.

Electrical power is ubiquitous and continuously increasing in demand, with the result that power systems often operate close to their stability and thermal ratings. In order to tackle this problem, extraordinary changes are now taking place in the electrical supply industry worldwide, and conventional electromechanical technologies are becoming replaced by power electronics equipment."Improvement in the Quality of Delivery of Electrical Energy using Power Electronics Systems" provides a detailed review of power electronics systems, covering both Flexible AC Transmissions Systems (FACTS) and Custom Power Systems (CUPS)."Improvement in the Quality of Delivery of Electrical Energy using Power Electronics Systems" is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced postgraduate students in the fields of power quality improvement and distributed electrical power systems. This monograph will also be of interest to professionals working in industries such as telecommunication, where solutions are needed to improve the quality of the electrical power supply.
