About power quality monitoring in residential grids   M. Buzdugan, H. Balan   2017/04/25

Abstract

The paper presents some voltage power quality issues in a low voltage residential area. In the introductory section, a few specific problems related to the monitoring process are addressed. The following section is devoted to the power quality survey intended for diagnosis. A portable hand-held, eight channels, power quality meter/monitor. It was a reactive mode of power quality survey, determined by the misoperation of the home automation in a residence, which was the first step to a solution of mitigating the power quality issues.
