Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the expected unintended (negative) consequences for power quality of several on-going developments in the power system. Four developments directly related to smart-grid technology are covered: microgrids; advanced voltage control; feeder reconfiguration; and demand-side management. Four developments indirectly related are also covered: new sources of electricity production; increased used of active power-electronic converters; shift from overhead lines to cables; and new types of lighting. The paper summarizes the discussions in an international working group and presents the main findings are recommendations.
