With the rapid use of power electronic converters which are considered as non-linear loads have problems of drawing non-sinusoidal currents and reactive power from source which in turn pollutes the power quality. This paper presents the power quality problems and methods for its correction where two control strategies (p q instantaneous power theory and d q synchronous reference frame theory) f...

In this paper, an adaptive control strategy is proposed for the inverters of renewable energy source (RES) to simultaneously control the load voltage, grid current and the amount of instantaneous injected power to the grid in the presence of grid voltage distortions and nonlinearity of load current. In the proposed control strategy, the power quality of the local load can be settled based on th...

In this paper we propose fuzzy control of DC-link capacitor voltage of three-phase four-wire DSTATCOM for power quality improvement in distribution network. It is designed to compensate reactive power and to eliminate harmonic currents. DSTATCOM regulates the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) by injecting reactive power to the PCC. During load changes there is considerable variation...

-A three-phase hybrid series power filter is constituted by a series active filter and a passive filter connected in parallel with the load. The control strategy is based on the “dual formulation of the electric power vectorial theory”. The proposed algorithm eliminates the current harmonics of supply. It also improves the power factor and harmonic compensation features of the associated passiv...

The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the basic understanding of active and reactive power flows in photovoltaic (PV) based distributed generation injected power system and how these power flows will influence the performance and stability of a power system. the harmonic currents injected into the utility grid may be a serious problem since they could lead to unacceptable levels of wave ...

In today’s era power quality is the main issue mainly for welding load which includes the problems like total harmonic distortion, voltage sags, voltage swells, voltage distortions etc. In this paper we will discuss about the Total Harmonic Distortions for the welding load by using the simple modular dc-dc converter, modular bridge dc-dc converter and by using the ZSource Converter using Dynami...

This review provides a survey of shunt active power filter based on inverter in three phase four wire system. These topologies are applied to solve problem due to non linear load in power system network such as a power quality issue, reactive power compensation and harmonic current suppression. In making a review it should be noted that this paper will not attempt to give an all encompassing re...

This paper discusses a Static Synchronous Series Compensator which is constructed with a 48-pulse inverter. Extensive simulation studies are carried out to verify the proper operation of the mentioned Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) device. In MATLAB simulation environment the designed device is connected to a power system that is comprised of three phase power source, transmission lin...

Optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. The distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...

The increasing use of power electronic based loads (adjustable speed drives, switch modern power supplies, etc) to improve system efficiency and controllability is increasing concern for harmonic distortion levels in end use facilities and on overall power system. The Active Power Filter uses power electronic switching to generate harmonic currents that cancel harmonic content from non – linear...
