Power Quality in Future Electrical Power Systems shows how to maintain reliable, continuous, secure and predictable supply in the electrical power network. It deals with challenges such as the penetration of large-scale renewable energy generation, the advances in nonlinear loads, and increased electricity demands in the deregulated market. In addition, the book covers recent requirements for smart grids, highlighting the need for better hierarchical design with enhanced quality, improved controllability, higher reliability, and security. The book also includes novel research linking the past, present and future of electrical power grids from a power quality perspective.

The book describes:

* Power quality standards, definitions, and filters
* AC and DC transmission, and smart grids
* Large-scale renewable generation

Topics covered include:

* Frequency-domain power theory and metering of harmonic pollution responsibility
* Active and passive harmonic filters
* Shunt flexible AC transmission
* Power quality improvement using series FACTS
* Distributed generation systems
* Islanding scenario generation algorithm
* Decentralized voltage control in smart grids
