The Effects of Renewable Energy on Power Quality in the Grid
Power grid operators need to consider the total harmonic distortion. It has to be maintained as low as practicably possible. Higher power factor, lower peak currents, and more efficiency result from decreased THD in the grid.

Crest Factor for Voltage and Current
The crest factor can be used as additional indicator for the power quality in the grid. The impact on power transformers, circuit breakers and other elements like uninterrupted power supply (UPS) needs to be considered during the planning stage.

The Challenges Of Electrical Power Grid Restoration
If a grid is running very close to its maximum capacity and a major event happens, e.g. fire in a generator, a whole power plant goes offline. The other plants connected to the grid must start up in order to meet demand when that plant disconnects.

Power Grid Frequency:
Why is it Important?
The grid frequency can be used to determine whether the network is in balance. If it drops below nominal, there is a higher demand than generation.

Power in High Voltage Lines:
Lost in Transmission
Transmission line networks today operate at or near capacity for extended periods of time, typically years. In many cases, it's necessary to enlarge the transmission capacity.
