Utilizing capacitor banks is very conventional in distribution network in order for local compensation of reactive power. This will be more important considering uncertainties including wind generation and loads uncertainty. Harmonics and non-linear loads are other challenges in power system which complicates the capacitor placement problem. Thus, uncertainty and network harmonics have been con...

The electric arc furnaces are a very large power load, determining the negative effects on the power quality (harmonics currents, unbalanced load, and reactive power). For a maximum efficiency of the power consumption it is necessary to use an automat system for control the harmonics filters, the reactive power compensation installation and the electrodes position, in order to obtain a high val...

Harmonics have become an important issue in modern power systems. The widespread penetration of non-linear loads to emerging power systems has turned power quality analysis into an important operation issue under both steady state and transient conditions. This paper employs an Extended Harmonic Domain (EHD) based framework for dynamic analysis of long term analysis over voltages during the tra...

This paper presents a new line-interactive UPS (uninterruptible power supply) system with active power-line conditioning capability. This system uses one power electronic inverter to implement two functions: maintaining uninterruptible power for critical loads, and suppressing power-line harmonics. The system offers efficient and economical power conditioning. Experimental validation is given.

High source current harmonics is a major problem faced by Electrical Engineers in power systems. Shunt Active Filter is a popular device in FACTS family generally used to reduce the source current harmonics. The non linear loads in a multi bus system demand reduction in the harmonics so that the line losses and heat can be reduced. The objective of this work is to reduce harmonics in the lines....

The sustainable power development requires the study of quality while taking into account electrical equipment is an important aspect because it highly compromises overall efficiency including quality, reliability and continuity flow. aim for smooth flow only accomplished if compatibility met between all instruments connected to system. odd harmonics both on amplitude phase domain must be known...

This paper presents a novel control approach used in shunt active power filter based on variable structure control combined with Random PWM technique (RVSC) that provides robust, fast, and more favorable performance for active power filter. This control strategy is compared with two other strategies to show the effectiveness of the introduced methods; pulse width modulated proportional-integral...

Modern power grids must be highly reliable and provide power with a high quality. Power quality issues like voltage sags or current harmonics must be minimized, in order to achieve high levels of reliability in the system. One possible way to overcome such problems is through the utilization of active power filters like a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). On the other hand, Superconduct...
