The Quality of the output power from the utilities has become a major concern of the modern industries. These power quality associated problems are voltage sag, surge, flicker, voltage imbalance, interruptions and harmonic problems. These power quality problems may cause problems to the industries ranging from malfunctioning of equipment to complete plant shut down. It has been identified that ...

I used sharp intracellular electrodes to record from parasol cells in the semi-isolated crayfish brain to investigate pacemaker currents. Evidence for the presence of the hyperpolarization-activated inward rectifier potassium current was obtained in about half of the parasol cells examined, where strong, prolonged hyperpolarizing currents generated a slowly-rising voltage sag, and a post-hyperp...

In this article, a new solar PV fed Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) based on Trans-Z-source Inverter (TransZSI) is proposed to improve the power quality of on-grid Photovoltaic (PV) systems. DVR electronic compensator using for injecting desired voltage Point Common Coupling (PCC) as per disturbance. DVR, in place traditional VSI, TransZSI with outstanding merits buck/boost, broader range boost ...

It makes the topology of distribution network more complex to contain a lot of distribution generations (DGs) in it. For this reason, a fault location approach suitable to the distribution network containing DGs is proposed. Firstly, according to the results of power flow calculation, a database of voltage sag is established; then the power quality information is acquired by power quality monit...

This paper compares fault position and Monte Carlo methods as the most common methods in stochastic assessment of voltage sags. To compare their abilities, symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults with different probability distribution of fault positions along the lines are applied in a test system. The voltage sag magnitude in different nodes of test system is calculated. The problem with the...

Photovoltaic systems have been increasingly used in the generation of electrical energy because of the cost of energy produced from fossil fuels is rising day to-day and there by photovoltaic energy becomes a promising alternative source for fossil fuels. Power quality is the major problem that occurs between grid to end user transmission lines. DSTATCOM is the one of the power quality compensa...

Now a days, the problem of voltage sags and Swells create a severe impact on sensitive loads in industries . Due to which load shedding and over voltages might occur. Several custom power devices can be used to overcome this problem. Of these power devices Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is one of the most reliable and efficient custom power devices used in power distribution network. This paper...

Concern towards power quality (PQ) has increased immensely due to the growing usage of high technology devices which are very sensitive towards voltage and current variations and the de-regulation of the electricity market. The impact of these voltage and current variations can lead to devices malfunction and production stoppages which lead to huge financial loss for the production company. The...
