Development of customized power electronics system analysis software for use with a power quality workstation

Diagnosis of power quality (PQ) problems in electric power systems requires a wide variety of data and engineering experience. A unified software approach is the most cost-effective and efficient solution in resolving PQ problems. A customized power electronics system analysis program provides the engineer with a fast and sufficiently accurate tool in making the recommendation. The paper describes a program that constitutes a module of a PQ workstation. Graphic input and output interfaces and capability of developing libraries are some of the highlights of the implementation
