EC 2: POWER QUALITY IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
Chairman: Prof. Vladimir KATIĆ, PhD, Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia

1. Power Quality (PQ) and the impact of the application of new technologies:
• Voltage and current distortions and disturbances, harmonics, voltage sags, etc.,
• Causes, spread, elimination, analyses, experiences, etc.,
• Influence of DER, EV, LED, etc.;
• PQ in active networks and microgrids, network support, etc.,
• DC networks and PQ, management of PQ, interaction of large solar and wind power plants, HVDC, FACTS, etc.

2. Instrumentation and methods for measuring and monitoring PQ parameters from DC to 500 kHz:
• Diagnostic and measurement methods, procedures, etc.,
• Instrumentation, equipment, integration, accuracy, etc.,
• Digitalization, standardization of measurement formats,
• Processing of measurement results, big data, application of AI, etc.

3. Domestic and international technical regulations:
• Standardization procedures, work of standardization commissions, etc.,
• Domestic and international standards, state of application,
• Current issues of technical regulations and procedures, field experiences,
• Immunity and security issues, etc.

4. Over/under voltages and protection, electromagnetic compatibility, safety, and interference:
• Causes of over/under voltages,
• Protection against overvoltage in distribution networks,
• Grounding disturbances and impact on PQ and other related topics,
• Low-frequency electromagnetic disturbances,
• The impact of PQ on the lifetime of equipment, etc.
