Voltage quality monitoring, dips classification and responsibility sharing

CEER and EURELECTRIC cooperation in the field of quality of electricity supply, involving joint meetings and the participation at the relevant CENELEC Technical Committee, contributed to the results attained in the recent publication of the EN 50160:2010 edition that includes a new voltage dips classification table allowing harmonisation at European level on voltage dips data collection. The generalisation of voltage quality monitoring data publication all over Europe will allow the definition of responsibility sharing between the different involved stakeholders and the evolution of voltage quality regulation applied at national level. Examples from Sweden and Italy are briefly presented in this paper.
