Methodological Framework for Industrial Flicker Severity Assessment and Awareness

This study developed a framework of survey design, data collection and an analytical model for the flicker severity level assessment and awareness in Malaysia based on the practical perception of industrial respondents. The identified flicker severity factors (FSF) are considered for different types of equipment for industrial flicker assessment. This study also provides the significant level of awareness, mean of the motivating factors and awareness ranking of various entities upon flicker occurrences. The findings will assist in the formulation of appropriate policies that address the industrial flicker problem in Malaysia as well as indirectly improving the industrial power quality in the country
