It is from this perspective that the IEEE in cooperation with utilities industry and academia began to attack the early problems deemed power quality in the 1980s. However in the last 5 to 10 years the term power quality has come to mean much more than simple power system harmonics. Because of the prolific growth of industries that operate with sensitive electronic equipment . the semiconductor industry the term power quality has come to .
