Coordination with CIGRE and CIRED PQ standards efforts (CCU2)

IEEE and IEC both have significant standards development activities in the power quality area. There is currently an effort to coordinate these standards so that manufacturers, end-users, and utilities have consistent standards for equipment and system performance around the world. The CCU2 Working Group provides technical input for many power quality standards efforts in IEC and much of this information is coordinated closely with IEEE efforts. This paper describes some of the major power quality standards and the efforts to coordinate these standards.
