Modern power distribution systems experience significant and often intermittent power quality issues due to changes in consumer load profiles, renewable energy integration, rapid load fluctuations, and high harmonic content from contemporary devices. Incorporating renewable energy sources like wind and solar reduces the grid's capacity to absorb disturbances, increasing the risk of resonance conditions. High-fidelity power quality analyzers, deployed across power system feeders, provide the capability to identify and analyze these events correctly. The push for compliance with distribution grid interconnection standards is gaining traction as power quality data becomes more accessible at the Grid Edge. This development ultimately necessitates using advanced solutions to address various power quality phenomena. This presentation will focus on strategies for enhancing the stability of modern power distribution systems by implementing reactive power compensation through filters extending from the substation to the Grid Edge.
