In Isolated power systems the power quality problem is compounded as the drive converter loads are likely to fluctuate in conjunction with mining or exploration areas. The use of compensators in improving power quality of isolated power systems is considered. The roles of the compensators are to mitigate the effects of momentary voltage sags/swells, and to control the level of harmonic distorti...

In this paper, Design of Hybrid series active filter (HSAF) for Harmonic reduction and reactive power compensation in single phase systems is represented. The HSAF consists of the series combination of two single tuned LC filters which are tuned to 3 rd and 5 th harmonics and an active filter. Discrete Fourier transformation is used as the control technique. Simulation results using MATLAB show...

In recent years, there is tremendous growth in the use of power electronic devices in every sphere but in nonlinear loads, it has problem of drawing the two important limitations; draws the non-sinusoidal current and reactive power from source which in turn effects the power quality. This paper presents the performance evaluation of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) for current and volta...

The aim of this paper is computing of the optimum duty cycle and inductance using Genetic Algorithm to minimize tracking error and operating costs by means of a new current reference. Such a current reference is able to share the responsibilities in power quality deterioration between supply and customer, making the filter to deliver a current with a lower harmonic content, which means a lower ...

This paper proposes a three-phase four-wire currentcontrolled Voltage Source Inverter (CC-VSI) for both power quality improvement and PV energy extraction. For power quality improvement, the CC-VSI works as a grid current-controlling shunt active power filter to compensate for harmonic and reactive power of loads. Then, the PV array is coupled to the DC bus of the CC-VSI and supplies active pow...
