Considering the ideal conditions during the operation of the electrical grid, the electrical
energy supplied to all consumers is expected to be problem-free in terms of power quality. In this context,
the effective value of the voltage and the frequency should be constant, the waveform should be
sinusoidal, and it should not contain harmonic components. Achieving these conditions is not possible
due to the complex nature of the loads in the network. In line with the developing technology, the
increasing prevalence of renewable energy plants, smart building applications and electrical
transportation systems will cause the power quality to deteriorate further with the effect of harmonic
components in the network. The use of non-linear loads and the widespread use of electronic equipment
will lead to an increase in undesirable situations such as losses in power systems, voltage drops,
resonance events, erroneous measurements and wrong decisions taken in control systems. For this reason,
it is necessary to investigate the effects of smart building systems on power quality and to evaluate the
equipment in terms of power quality reliability. In this study, the negative effects of automatic control
systems and electronic circuit-based loads in smart building systems on power quality and their behavior
in the system was investigated. The positive and negative interaction were examined by revealing the
relationship with the existing harmonic components. A mobile application was developed in order to
remotely monitor all power quality parameters. Thus, it was aimed to reduce the failures experienced by
low voltage system users and to contribute to the product design of equipment manufacturers.
