Abstract

The main components of Microgrids (MGs) consist of numerous Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) that utilize a variety of technologies built on power electronics. Nevertheless, it exhibits an erratic output, thereby resulting in various forms of power quality incidents. Consequently, there has been the establishment of standards and the implementation of mitigation strategies. Recent years have suggested several strategies and standards to address power quality difficulties caused by the integration of MG. expect the power quality to decline as the use of switching devices continues to increase. Additionally, these devices are particularly susceptible to damage. To experience a breakdown due to inadequate power quality, the globe is propelled by carbon emissions to substitute conventional electricity with as much renewable generation as is feasible. Researchers have been drawn to the aforementioned circumstances in order to find and propose mitigation approaches for power quality issues. The goal is to enhance the performance of MG that use renewable energy resources. This paper gives a review on power quality, standards and explains issue of power quality, harmonic mitigation techniques.
