About This Special Issue
Wide spread use of power electronic and Nonlinear Loads has caused well-known major power quality problems for power systems. Harmonics as well as voltage sag are examples affecting power quality. In the past four decades numerous research activities have been carried out to mitigate harmonics and improve quality of currents and voltages. This special issue would welcome original contributions as well as review papers in the general are of Power Quality including:

1. Power quality studies including the issues related to Distributed Generations (DG) and Smart Grids
2. Active, Passive, and Hybrid Power Filters including modeling, control and optimization methods
3. UPQC and other advanced power quality compensator
4. Voltage Restorers
5. Compensation under distorted / unbalanced Voltages and Power Definitions
6. Multi objective and heuristic approaches to design and sizing active and passive filters
7. UPC and active rectifiers
8. Advanced Control methods for active filters and power quality enhancers including Fuzzy, Optimal, Repetitive, Fractional Order Controllers
9. Passive and active power placement in power networks
10. Harmonic Power Flow Approaches
