85 ИЕЦ 61000-4-30 Class A monitoring sites across 50 substations in the German transmission system — 38 у 110 кВ, 21 у 220 кВ, 26 у 380 кВ. Hierarchical clustering reveals which sites are redundant and which are uniquely informative. Ensemble forecasting of weekly 95th-percentile PQ parameters outperforms any individual model. The first dataset to demonstrate systematic, recurring PQ correlation structures at transmission level driven by inverter-based generation.

AI training clusters create a load type that did not exist when power quality standards were written: synchronised GPU operation producing oscillatory load signatures with 10+ MW/second ramps, harmonic THD exceeding 5%, and simultaneous UPS disconnection risk of 2+ GW in dense data centre corridors. A real Dominion Energy grid event was triggered by a data centre producing a voltage sag at precisely once per second. Three open-access papers from 2025–2026 document the scale of the problem and the mitigation approaches now being required by grid operators.

Full campus PQ audit at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman — 33 kV/11 kV/415 V distribution system. Non-linear loads: PV inverters, UPS systems, VFD chillers, and hundreds of switch-mode power supplies in computer labs. THDI ranged from 2–10%, TDD from 2–8% across measurement points. Main substations compliant with IEEE 519 due to harmonic aggregation cancellation — but individual buildings exceeded 8% at peak load. Key lesson: the THD vs. TDD distinction prevents false alarms. The study establishes a pre-DER baseline before planned large-scale PV integration.

Level 2 EV chargers at 7.2 kW produce third-harmonic dominant current that accumulates in the neutral conductor and causes voltage unbalance increasing with distance from the transformer. Monte Carlo simulation across multiple penetration levels shows uncontrolled charging at 30%+ penetration can push VUF beyond 2% at feeder end buses. Smart charging eliminates the problem without hardware mitigation. EV chargers also produce supraharmonic emissions (2–150 kHz) that can disrupt the PLC communications intended to manage EV charging itself.
