Electromagnetic Compatibility Issues in Modern and Future Power Systems

Technological changes are being introduced into modern power systems to facilitate the transition to a clean energy future and to enable more flexible power networks. However, these technological changes have introduced new Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) problems in these systems and have also exacerbated some existing ones. This Technical Brochure (TB) addresses the emerging EMC issues in modern power systems that are expected to persist in future power systems.

The TB explains the nature of EMC issues and presents the problems of intra-system interference in modern power systems and the problems of inter-system interference between power systems and both the natural electromagnetic environment and other man-made systems. Rather than providing an exhaustive bibliographical review,…
