In the world of utilities and engineers we measure and ensure power quality. It is measured by power quality recorders like a Dranetz. Data center power engineers buy or rent these.
How good is utility power? Really good, here is the science:
If you are a lab designing power supplies, one piece of test equipment you might have is an adjustable AC power source. Here is one that can generate 2-4kW AC and also run your DC power bricks. It starts at $6000.
They also have an APS series. There would be several makers of similar equipment. You could also if you wanted to spend even more money put a Topaz transformer in front of it. Sometimes you can find a Topaz used when tech buildings decommission their electrical systems. They are very heavy.
