description The issue of electricity quality is extremely important today. Its level affects the correct and uninterrupted operation of electrical appliances, the level of losses in power grids, energy efficiency of enterprises and safety for others. Continuous improvement of power quality indicators (PQI) and study of factors that deteriorate them allows us to maintain the required level of quality at least in the time of rapid development of semiconductor (nonlinear) systems. Taking into account the increasing share of renewable energy sources in the overall energy balance, especially those with a low power of up to 100 kW, the article provides a comparative analysis of the legislative regulation of NES issues in Ukraine and the European Union (EU) with a special emphasis on electricity generated by photovoltaic solar power plants (PVPPs) for power supply in backup (micro) AC networks. The existing AC power standards and methods of their measurement are systematized and structured. The relationships between key standards were identified and visualized. The obtained results allowed us to identify priority areas for improving legislation, taking into account that PV power plants can negatively affect the EE, causing unstable modes of grid operation, including voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortion and other undesirable effects. The need to study NF in networks with backup power from PV power plants with hybrid inverters is also indicated. Such studies will improve the understanding of the physical processes that occur in the described power grids, and the results will contribute to updating the relevant standards and developing protective devices to prevent negative impacts.
