Proper location of DGs in power systems is important for obtaining their maximum potential benefits. This paper deals with DG for minimizing active power loss and D-statcom for reactive power loss minimization is considered. The proper siting of DG and D-statcom is a recently developed combination with the aim of reducing line loss in a radial distribution system. Loss Sensitivity Factor (LSF) ...

The paper introduces the modified UPQC topology with reduced switching losses. UPQC is a versatile custom power device which consists of two inverters connected back to back and deals with both load current and supply voltage imperfections. It can simultaneously perform as shunt and series active power filters. The series part of the UPQC acts as Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). It is used to ma...
