Abstract

networks are rather too weak to address the problem bedeviling the power sector in many countries especially in the developing worlds. While the main focus on electricity industries globally has shifted from reliability to power quality; it is not so in many developing countries where reliability is still major challenges and utility is viewed as sole contributor of power problems. Hence, with the increasing power electronic non-linear loads devices serving as solution on one hand and causing disturbances in the network on the other hand, there is need to address the power quality alongside with the reliability in line with the emerging trend. This paper proposes that total power qualities consisting of Supply quality which is made of voltage and service qualities and utilisation quality made of current and response qualities are proposed to cater for the emerging trend. These terms are further classified as technical quality and non-technical qualities to further reflect and capture vividly the concept of total power quality concept for comprehensive power quality solutions that encompasses quantity and quality, technical and non-technical services in electricity distribution network. It defines Total Power Quality concept as a combination of supply quality and utilisation quality. Various definitions of terms associated with it are further proposed to reflect the emerging trend in the power sector. This concept will be useful in power system planning especially in developing countries.
