Power quality issues and their mitigation techniques in microgrid system-a review

Power Quality is playing an increasingly significant role both at supply and demand sides. With the advent of participation of private player's in distribution systems, the power quality is expected to be the pivotal decisive factor before the consumers. Due to ever growing application of switching devices, the power quality is bound to get deteriorated, at the same time such devices are also prone to malfunction due to poor power quality. The world is driven by the carbon emission to replace the conventional generation by as much renewable generation as possible. The above situation has attracted the attention of researchers to identify and suggest the mitigation techniques of power quality issue's for improving the performance of microgrid containing renewable energy resources. An attempt has been made to comprehensively present a review of the research carried out thus far.
