One of the issues that the joint working groupCIGRÉ/CIRED/IEEE JWG C4.24 will be addressing, isthe need in future networks for new measurementtechniques, more complex and more accurate, which willbe undergoing architecture reconfiguration (due tofeeder reconfiguration) and will be witnessing old andnew phenomena affecting the power quality. This papergives a comprehensive overview and betterunderstanding of the real challenges related tomeasurement techniques in future networks
