---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Reactive power compensation is presented in this paper as an additional function to the three phase active ac/dc voltage source converter for neighboring inductive loads. The main function of this converter is to operate as controlled DC power supp...

Wind Farms (WF) employing squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) is directly connected to the grid, it represent a large percentage of the wind energy conversion systems around the world. In facilities with moderated power generation, the WF are connected through Medium Voltage (MV) distribution headlines. A situation commonly found in such scheme is that the power generated is similar to the...

Most of the pollution issues created in power systems are due to the non-linear characteristics and fast switching of power electronic equipment. Power quality issues are becoming stronger because sensitive equipment will be more sensitive for market competition reasons, equipment will continue polluting the system more and more due to cost increase caused by the built-in compensation and somet...

Abstract: Active Power Filter (APF) is capable of changing the size and frequency of harmonics as well as changes in reactive power compensation. It is important to control the stability of the DC-link capacitor voltage stability for it. For DC voltage controls of APF, there are two important achievements. First, it is indicated that the control of DC voltage directly affects the compensation p...

Shunt FACTS devices are used for controlling transmission voltage, power flow, reducing reactive losses, and damping of power system oscillations for high power transfer levels. In this paper the optimal location of a shunt FACT device is investigated for an actual line model of a transmission line having series compensation at the center. Effect of change in degree of series compensation on th...

Modern power system networks use active power filters for compensation of harmonic currents generated by non linear loads. In this paper a new method for generating reference currents for harmonic and reactive power compensation is proposed. The proposed method has the advantage that it generates the reference currents irrespective of the supply voltage and load conditions. So the source has to...

This paper studies the possibilities of decomposition of the current in three-phase, three-wire systems based on the classic p-q theory. Recently, the energy crisis in the world has led to the rise in use of renewable energy sources with the advancement in power electronics technology, the solar photovoltaic energy has been recognized as an important renewable energy resource because it is clea...

Industries having poor power factor face the problem of reduced power quality and increased electricity charges. To improve the power factor, capacitor banks of appropriate KVAR ratings are to be placed. In this paper the inductive loads in a sugar mill are investigated and suitable power factor improvement capacitors are recommended. The effect of low power factor on distribution losses and KV...

Active power conditioners have been developed over the years to solve the problems to improve power quality. Among which shunt active power conditioners is used to eliminate load current harmonics and reactive power compensation. The controller ensures that the dc-side capacitor voltage is nearly constant with small ripple besides extracting fundamental reference currents. The PLL block assists...
