Researches and concerns in power quality gained
\r\nsignificant momentum in the field of power electronics systems over
\r\nthe last two decades globally. This sudden increase in the number of
\r\nconcerns over power quality problems is a result of the huge increase
\r\nin the use of non-linear loads. In this paper, power quality evaluation
\r\nof some distribution networks at Misurata - Libya has been done
\r\nusing a power quality and energy analyzer (Fluke 437 Series II). The
\r\nresults of this evaluation are used to minimize the problems of power
\r\nquality. The analysis shows the main power quality problems that
\r\nexist and the level of awareness of power quality issues with the aim
\r\nof generating a start point which can be used as guidelines for
\r\nresearchers and end users in the field of power systems.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] A. Moussa, M.El-Gammal, E. Abdallah, and A.
