In India, the electric power transmission and distribution loss is very high, about 7% in transmission and 26% in distribution. Though deployment of automated meter reading system will reduce losses, particularly in distribution, penetration of automated meter reading is low due to high costs involved. World over, the Two-Way Automatic Communications System (TWACS) is the most widely used power...

This paper presents a digital plug-in frequency domain based repetitive control scheme for minimizing the even order harmonics at the output dc link voltage and odd order harmonics in the line currents under the distorted and unbalanced supply voltage conditions. The proposed current controller consists of a conventional PI controller and a frequency domain based plug-in repetitive controller. ...

A new circuit is presented for three-phase voltage controller (AC chopper) constructed from IGBTs. Traditionally such an equipment contains thyristors as switching elements. All drawbacks of this solution come from its only possible control method: firing control. The new circuit allows Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control, providing much better properties. A new and advantageous control method...

Power electronic converters are used for integrating renewable energy sources such as wind and photovoltaic into the grid. This integration gives rise to many challenges in power systems, especially regarding quality. Indeed, integrated systems generate a non-linear current full of harmonics, which degrades Active filters usually compensate these harmonics at point common coupling. In control a...

In almost all applications of power electronics there is always an influence of harmonics and noise in voltage and current waveforms. In this paper, a harmonic rejection technique has been proposed based on neural network platform. An ANN model has been developed which when trained can remove harmonics from the output of the buck converter. In this paper, a buck converter has been designed in M...

The simple Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) for 3-Phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is presented here. The proposed work is to examine the Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) and to eliminate harmonics produced by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter. The selective harmonic elimination method for three phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is generally based on ideas of opposite harmonic ...

The objective of the electric utility is to deliver sinusoidal voltage at fairly constant magnitude throughout their system. This objective is complicated by the fact that there are loads on the system that produce harmonics currents. These currents result in distorted voltages and currents that can adversely impact the system performance in different ways. When harmonic currents flow through t...

Active filters are widely employed in distribution system to reduce the harmonics produced by non-linear loads result in voltage distortion and leads to various power quality problems. In this work the simulation study of a Adaptive hysteresis based fuzzy logic controlled shunt active power filter capable of reducing the total harmonic distortion i s presented. The advantage of fuzzy control is...
