Abstract: Power quality (PQ) has emerged as a critical consideration in modern electrical networks due to the growing reliance on sensitive electronic equipment and renewable energy integration. This paper presents an in-depth examination of power quality issues such as voltage sags, swells, harmonic distortion, flicker, and transients, followed by advanced mitigation techniques including active power filters, dynamic voltage restorers, STATCOM devices, and harmonic compensation strategies. By analyzing case studies, technical data, and real-world implementations, this study emphasizes the importance of a systematic approach to PQ management for enhancing reliability, efficiency, and stability of electrical systems.
Keywords: Power quality, Harmonics, Voltage sag, STATCOM, Active power filter, Mitigation techniques.
