It is important to improve power quality and energy efficiency to avoid bad reputation, financial losses, and dangerous situations. In hotels and other lodging facilities, various power quality problems can arise due to the amount of different electrical equipment used daily to convenience the lives of the accommodated.

Current harmonics, voltage imbalances, and low power factor all impact the operation of critical hotel processes and can potentially lead to life-threatening situations. Many countries have power quality standards to comply with and impose penalties on players whose systems pollute the grid.
