We proposed voltage-sourced converter (VSC) with Pulse-width modulation (PWM) provides a faster control that is required for flicker mitigation purpose. The voltage regulation in the distribution feeder is improved by installing a shunt compensator. The proposed DSTATCOM is modeled and its performance is simulated and verified for power factor correction and voltage regulation along with neutra...

–With the widespread use of harmonic generating devices, the control of harmonic currents to maintain a high level of power quality is becoming increasingly important. An effective way for harmonic suppression is the harmonic compensation by using active power filter. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of DSTATCOM control strategies put forward recently. It is aimed at providing a broad...

In this paper analysis of two different cases is being compared for the presence of harmonics at manufacturing plant. Case 1, is a normal system configuration duly interfaced with CNC, AC servo drives, Spindle drive along with adaptive and in-process gauging system, High voltage Module, Isolation transformer and switchgear items and in case 2 additionally part compensated filter is added to red...

 The resonance between power-factor-correction capacitors and the line reactance is a common cause for harmonic problems in traditional power systems. Grid-connected inverters integrating renewable energy sources into the grid exhibit capacitive output impedance at harmonic frequencies and may also resonate with the grid impedance. In addition to possible amplification of current and voltage ...

Power Quality (PQ) parameters such as voltage RMS value, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and Power Factor (PF) are main topics to be considered in the connection of sensitive loads to the grid. In this paper, a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) based on an Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC) is proposed to address some PQ issues as mitigation of voltage harmonics and compensation of sags an...

This paper demonstrates the mitigation of power quality issues in a grid connected wind energy conversion system using UPFC. The procedure to compensate the power quality issues like voltage sag and harmonics are presented. A Frame work for 25 bus test system is developed in the ETAP & load flow analysis &harmonic analysis is performed. It is observed that the UPFC is effective in compensating ...

Voltage-Sourced Converter (VSC) is the main component in a VSC-based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) system. In addition to the characteristic harmonics, the inter-harmonics could be originated from the characteristic of each converter working at different modulation frequencies, or from a distorting frequency on one or both ac (or dc) systems. The space vector representation of VSC’s switch...

This article has been accepted for publication in a future issue of this journal, but has not been fully edited. Content may change prior to final publication. Abstract—In this paper, SHM (Selective Harmonic Mitigation) and SHE (Selective Harmonic Elimination) modulation techniques have been combined to produce appropriate pulses for four-leg three-level NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) inverter. In...

Abstract—The harmonic distortion of voltage is important in relation to power quality due to the interaction between the large diffusion of non-linear and time-varying single-phase and three-phase loads with power supply systems. However, harmonic distortion levels can be reduced by improving the design of polluting loads or by applying arrangements and adding filters. The application of passiv...

This paper includes the performance of a Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) device, namely, STATic synchronous COMpensator (STATCOM) based on 6, 12, 24 and 48-pulse Voltage Source Converter (VSC), for the mitigation of voltage-dip caused by the starting of a high power induction motor. The different configuration of the STATCOM’s implemented improves the voltage profile f...
