Power Quality: A growing concern.

The modern power distribution grid is chang-ing rapidly and these changes can be expected to have an impact on power quality, which is the concept of powering sensitive equipment in a manner that is suitable to operation of that equipment.

Is Microgrid An Answer To Rural India's Power Woes?
Microgrid can be defined as a small network of electricity users with a local source of supply that is usually attached to a centralised national grid, but is able to function independently. From India’s context, rural microgrid is a small electricity network implemented at a village level with its own generation unit and the electricity generated thus supplied primarily to the village households and in some cases, to some commercial load centres. These microgrids are often not connected to the national grid and have been set up in the villages where there is no grid connection or even if there is a grid, power supply is highly erratic.
