in this article, a multi-objective function for placement of distributed generation (dg) and capacitors with thetap setting of under load tap changer (ultc) transformer is introduced. most of the recent articles have paidless attention to dg, capacitor placement and ultc effects in the distribution network simultaneously. insimulations, a comparison between different modes was carried out with,...

Individually Network reconfiguration or Capacitor control perform well in minimizing power loss and improving voltage profile of the distribution system. But for heavy reactive power loads network reconfiguration and for heavy active power loads capacitor placement can not effectively reduce power loss and enhance voltage profiles in the system. In this paper, an hybrid approach that combine ne...

VAR support should be supplied as close to the load as possible to minimize transmission losses. For voltage control and for improvement of total power factor in a distribution system the circuit- breaker switched capacitor banks can be used. The problems with this solution are the voltage steps caused by the large sizes of the capacitor banks as well as the transients caused on insertion. Thyr...

In practical situations, distribution network loads are the mixtures of residential, industrial, and commercial types. This paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm for the optimal placement of shunt capacitor banks in radial distribution networks in the presence of different voltage-dependent load models. The algorithm is based on the combination of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Binary Part...

Abstact: In a electrical power system, whenever the voltage goes below the desired level,there is no need to improve the voltage profile. This increasing voltage can be obtained by using capacitor bank/s, as switching ON a capacitor bank/s causes increase in voltage while switching OFF a capacitor bank/s causes decrease in voltage. But these switching action, if not specifically controlled give...

In this paper, we are using multilevel inverter by using switching capacitor for PV grid. Now a day’s multilevel inverters have become more popular over the years in electric high power application with the promise of less disturbances and the possibility to function at lower switching frequencies than ordinary two-level inverters. So by cascading multilevel inverter the output voltage will be ...

In this paper we proposed an advanced Multi-level converters with ride through capability for unified power-flow controller (UPFC) applications, because of high power ratings Among all multilevel topologies, the three-level neutral-pointclamped (NPC) converter allows back-to-back connection as the UPFC shunt and series converters gives us better results. Besides the pulse widthmodulated (PWM) m...

Due to the scalability and flexibility in power transmission, the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) receives a widespread favor since its advent. The popularization of the MMC will continuously promote the developments in renewable energy grid connecting and flexible High Voltage Direct Current transmission (HVDC) system. In this paper, an overview of the most recent effort associated with the...

This paper investigates the fault detection of a micro parallel plate capacitor subjected to nonlinear electrostatic force. For this end Thau observer, which has good ability in fault detection of nonlinear system has been presented and governing nonlinear dynamic equation of the capacitor has been presented. Upper and lower threshold for fault detection have been obtained. The robustness of th...
