Costs of power quality disturbances (interruptions, voltage sags, harmonics, surges etc.) are very significant and have the highest impact on industry. In order to minimize those costs, it is necessary to analyze the electrical system and then try to determine possible future problems. Only after that, it is possible to improve the system in the right way. HEP d.d. – (Croatian electricity compa...

Abstract—This paper presents comparative study and implementation of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to eliminate harmonics and reactive power compensation in a single-phase to threephase converter system. The proposed configuration solves typical problems encountered in remote rural area applications, where only a single-phase supply is available and there is a demand for three-phase ...

Power quality has become an important factor in power systems. The main causes of a poor power quality are harmonic currents, poor power factor, supply-voltage variations, etc. To mitigate power quality problems, we have various equipments like active filter, passive filter, unified power flow controller and unified power quality conditioner etc. Among from them unified power quality conditione...

The quality of the power supply in any industrial environment can have a dramatic effect on the cost of production. This is particularly true in a mining environment, both above ground and underground, because of the remote location of many mining sites. This paper considers various power quality issues and their effects, and then proposes the H-bridge multilevel static compensator (STATCOM) co...
