Given the significant growth in electricity consumption and population, the electrical network is becoming increasingly complex to deliver electricity from producers to consumers (Krim et al. 2022). This network includes power plants that generate electrical energy, high-voltage transmission lines that transport energy from distant sources to consumption centers and distribution lines that connect individual customers. However, this structural complexity negatively impacts the safety and quality of the electrical energy provided to consumers (Almaksour et al. 2021). The quality of electrical production is measured by its waveform, amplitude and frequency, and it is necessary to maintain these characteristics within established standards to ensure the quality of the production. Electrical energy quality can be compromised by internal incidents related to electrical receivers or external incidents related to physical phenomena, negatively affecting the three aforementioned characteristics. To address these electrical power quality issues, traditional adjustment and compensation methods are installed in each node of the distribution network. However, these conventional methods are generally slow and unable to maintain the stability of the distribution network (Krim et al. 2018a).
