The paper presents the analysis of harmonic distortion when non-linear load is connected in different phases of power system with STATCOM for singly excited induction generator system with wind turbine as prime mover. Now-a-days due to the drastically increased in use of non linear loads causes many power quality problems in power system network. Those problems are classified as reactive power ...

This paper discusses a shunt active ûlter intended for installation on a power distribution system. The active ûlter has an additional capability to regulate the distribution line voltage by means of adjusting reactive power. Theoretical analysis investigates the dynamic performance of combined harmonic damping and voltage regulation. As a result, harmonic damping makes it possible to improve t...

since nox family, one of the most important causes of air pollution, is the primary source of acid rains, ozone layer depletion, and breathing disorders, mitigation of these pollutants is now a global concern. in the off-gases of internal combustion engines running with oxygen excess, non-thermal plasmas (ntps) have an oxidative potential, which results in an effective conversion of no to no2. ...

Harmonic resonance is one of an important aspect being considered in a large network such as a wind power plant (WPP). This paper analyses several factors that affect resonance characteristic in a WPP and possible mitigation measures. The first part of the paper provides an analysis of resonances in WPP. Two methods of identifying resonances are performed which are a common impedance scan metho...

This paper proposes a fuzzy logic based new control scheme for the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) for minimizing the voltage sag and total harmonic distortion in the distribution system consequently to improve the power quality. UPQC is a recent power electronic module which guarantees better power quality mitigation as it has both series-active and shunt-active power filters (APFs). ...

In this paper a new 5-level single phase symmetrical cascade multi-level inverter is proposed. The proposed topology contains combination of unidirectional and bidirectional power switches based on output voltage level number. The number of power switches and withstanding voltage of powers witches were reduced related to the other topologies. This configuration can be extended to the n-level in...

In this paper the effectiveness of a Dynamic Voltage Restorer controlled by neural network for voltage sags/swells mitigation is shown. A typical configuration of DVR is implemented by using MATLAB Simulink®, which is controlled using backpropagation neural networks. The good performance for voltage sags/swells mitigation of the DVR controlled with neural networks can be observed by means of se...

multilevel inverters has big placement advantages in power electronics and its application can be mentioned to facts tools such as upfc – d-statcom. therefore, nowadays multilevel inverters have created vast field’s research and researchers are trying to present appropriate structures with fewer keys and greater advantages. the main advantages of multilevel inverters mentioned are low-key volta...
