Performance criteria for power-system compatibility

The development of system compatibility performance criteria was undertaken as a contribution toward better operational compatibility at the interface between end users and electric utilities. These documents neither have nor seek the status of standards, but they offer a shared medium to the three-partner community of end users, utilities, and original equipment manufacturers. It is suggested that this sharing of needs and experience will improve the applications of load equipment, in particular power electronics, until such time as voluntary or regulatory standards can be fully developed
