This paper gives a new insight into the concept of load compensation using shunt active filter (SAF) under ideal and non-ideal source voltage conditions. A novel approach based on an improved instantaneous active and reactive current component method is proposed. The performance of the proposed control strategy has been compared with instantaneous reactive power theory, symmetrical component th...

This project aims to design and implementation of high efficiency and high step –up non-isolated DC-DC converter. The high power non –linear loads and low power loads produce voltage fluctuations, harmonic currents and an imbalance in network which results into lower Power factor operation of power supply. There is a need of improved Power factor and reduced harmonic current in input line. In t...

This paper presents the development of a control scheme for a multilevel diode-clamped converter connected in a series–parallel fashion to the electrical system such that it can compensate for deviations in utility voltage (sag, surge, and unbalance) and act as a harmonic and/or reactive current source for a load. New carrier-based multilevel pulsewidth modulation techniques are identified to m...

The distribution systems are facing severe power quality problems due to the large number of three phase and single phase linear, non-linear loads. These loads may be supplied from three-phase ac mains with neutral conductor. This creates excessive neutral current, high reactive power and harmonic current burden, load unbalancing, poor voltage regulation, etc. A three-phase fourwire distributio...
