Your article was very informative and researching these topics take a great deal of time and energy.
Alternating Current (AC) power can be complicated. Electrical power is distributed as kVA or 1000 Volt Amps. Most house power is single phase 220-240 V. This incoming power is dirty. I looked house power with an oscilloscope many years ago…

Alternating Current (AC) power can be complicated. Electrical power is distributed as kVA or 1000 Volt Amps. Most house power is single phase 220-240 V. This incoming power is dirty. I looked house power with an oscilloscope many years ago, it was not a simple 60 Hz sine wave but an 60 Hz wave full of noise. Other issues associated with AC power are system impedance and harmonics (current and voltage distortions). Switching power supplies that produce DC and low voltage AC provide dirty power. I have always preferred linear transformers for my research but most power systems have gone to switching power supplies as linear transforms range from heavy to very heavy and more expensive to make and produce heat. Through my research I found that linear power supplies provided superior results to switching power supplies.
I am not an electrical engineer but have worked with AC inverted DC power for most of my professional life. This includes consulting on electric fish barriers designed to keep Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes.
None if this is simple so do not expect simple solutions. One can install whole house or sub panel power conditioners. But you will need a qualified or a licensed electrician to install them. This is only part of the solutions along with proper grounding.
Just be careful and well informed prior to spending a lot of hard earned cash on expensive solutions.
Many times complicated problems require multiple solutions.
