This paper presents the use of a three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter to improve the power quality in the Department of Industrial Electronics of a large enterprise from Romania. The specificity is given by the predominant existence of single-phase consumers (such as personal computers, printers, lighting and AC equipment). In order to identify the power quality indicators and ways to improve them, an A-class analyzer was used to record the electrical quantities and energy parameters in the point of common coupling (PCC) with the nonlinear loads for 27 h. The analysis shows that, in order to improve the power quality in PCC, three goals must be achieved: the compensation of the distortion power, the compensation of the reactive power and the compensation of the load unbalance. By using the conceived three-leg shunt active power filter, controlled through the indirect current control method in an original variant, the power quality at the supply side is very much improved. In the proposed control algorithm, the prescribed active current is obtained as a sum of the loss current provided by the DC voltage and the equivalent active current of the unbalanced load. The performance associated with each objective of the compensation is presented and analyzed. The results show that all the power quality indicators meet the specific standards and regulations and prove the validity of the proposed solution.

The systematization and analysis of the results of monitoring registrations of electric power quality indicators (PQS) on substation buses feeding large industrial enterprises of the Murmansk region was carried out. The example of existing substations shows the problems of high-energy facilities that have consumers with non-linear parameters. The problems of electromagnetic compatibility of industrial consumers with the mains have been identified. The need for research to identify the causes of non-compliance is proved. A number of the most common and effective measures to limit the distortion of the SCE are proposed.

Power grids are evolving with the aim to guarantee sustainability and higher levels of power quality for universal access to electricity. More specifically, over the last two decades, power grids have been targeted for significant changes, including migration from centralized to decentralized paradigms as a corollary of intensive integration of novel electrical technologies and the availability of derived equipment. This paper addresses a review of a disruptive vision of future power grids, mainly focusing on the use of hybrid AC/DC grids and solid-state transformers technologies. Regarding hybrid AC/DC grids in particular, they are analyzed in detail in the context of unipolar and bipolar DC grids (i.e., two-wire or three-wire DC grids), as well as the different structures concerning coupled and decoupled AC configurations with low-frequency or high-frequency isolation. The contextualization of the possible configurations of solid-state transformers and the different configurations of hybrid transformers (in the perspective of offering benefits for increasing power quality in terms of currents or voltages) is also analyzed within the perspective of the smart transformers. Additionally, the paper also presents unified multi-port systems used to interface various technologies with hybrid AC/DC grids, which are also foreseen to play an important role in future power grids (e.g., the unified interface of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems), including an analysis concerning unified multi-port systems for AC or DC grids. Throughout the paper, these topics are presented and discussed in the context of future power grids. An exhaustive description of these technologies is made, covering the most relevant and recent structures and features that can be developed, as well as the challenges for the future power grids. Several scenarios are presented, encompassing the mentioned technologies, and unveiling a progressive evolution that culminates in the cooperative scope of such technologies for a disruptive vision of future power grids.

Power quality issues concern absolutely all spheres of human activity, from household to economy and transportation. Standardization, monitoring, management, and coordination to ensure electromagnetic compatibility in the power supply system are the subject of constantly ongoing research in most countries. In order to attract attention to issues of the harmonic current, this study focused on the harmonic current distortions observed on the level of urban electricity users. The paper considers the aspects of consolidating terminology and structure of power quality indicators. We carefully reviewed the current and voltage waveform distortions and related harmonic components. We also summed up the power quality indicators currently used around the world as a flowchart. Based on the results of measurements of quality indicators at the existing urban infrastructure facilities, a comparative analysis with the IEEE 519-2014 standard requirements was performed. As a result of the field measurements analysis, an unsatisfactory situation in terms of harmonic current distortions was revealed; the most probable causes and consequences of poor current quality are described.
