Abstract :
The development of a power quality (PQ) benchmarking model is presented. Practical results are discussed to motivate the need of adding value to recorded PQ data by means of benchmarking PQ performance. The importance, science and methodology of cleaning up recorded sag and swell data per site and per region is demonstrated. Benchmarking of voltage distortion, unbalance and magnitude regulation is briefly introduced.
