Abstract :
This paper presents the development of a user-friendly animation software for simulating the various power quality problems using LabVIEW. It aids in better grasping of power quality problems and can be used for classroom teaching and tutorials. The proposed software serves as a visual tool which depicts power quality problems, rendering better perception of concepts. The various power quality problems encountered are discussed, followed by an introduction to LabVIEW. Then the operation of the software tool is described, which includes snapshots to demonstrate its execution.
