In today’s scenario Power Quality issues are turn into a serious matter for both electric power utilities and for power system engineers.Equipment used in power distribution are highly responsive tothe disturbances which arises in the supply systems. Moreover, these equipment are connected together in supply system and in industriesforthepurposeofmanufacturing.Asaresulttheeffect of any issue or problem on the equipment is very large. Usually some of the power system equipment generates disruptions,whichconsecutivelyaffecttheotherequipment,andaresupposed to develop the harmonics distortion. These distortion results in inefficient usage of power and are the major source of abrupt failure of the equipment. It affects theproductionprocess in industries, which causes financial loss, it reduces generation of power, also affectsdata processing activities such as in bank transaction process may lost, affects ticket booking process and generates many service sector problemsin real time. The main purpose of this paper is to overlook the sources and determinethemostcommonpowerqualityproblemsoccurringinthepower system and study the methods available for improving these problems.
