The electric power distribution system must be designed to operate and supply acceptable level of electrical energy to customers. Power utilities must ensure that the power supply to customers is with voltage magnitude within standard levels. Other features like minimal interruptions and minimal system power loss also must be considered. Hence, the quality and reliability of supply must be main...

Multilevel inverter as compared to single level inverters have advantages like minimum harmonic distortion, reduced Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI/RFI) generation and can operate on several voltage levels. In this paper a new topology of cascaded multilevel inverter using reduced number of switches, resulting in higher output voltage levels is proposed. There are five series connected H-bri...

Ac to DC converter is used for operating DC electrical machine and also supplies DC power to battery which is used for many purposes. The main purpose of this project is to compensate the harmonics by using harmonic current compensation and reactive power control. If reactive power is compensate prior to system then non linearity or harmonics present in the system does not much affect the exist...

This thesis investigates using the cascade multilevel inverter as an alternative to conventional pulse width modulated inverters for large hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) drivetrain applications. Previous research considered constant and equal dc sources with invariant behavior; however, this research extends earlier work to include variant dc sources, which are typical of lead-acid batteries whe...

The development of solar photovoltaic generation systems into the grid, electric vehicles and electronic mass-market equipment is characterized by growth high frequency emissions in range 2–150 kHz. These high-frequency emissions, known as supraharmonics, negatively affect power quality electrical distribution systems. It important to investigate analyze propagation these currents on grid for d...

The presence of harmonics in power system is a major concern to power engineers for many years. With the increasing usage of nonlinear loads in power systems, the harmonic pollution becomes more serious. One of the widely used computation algorithm for harmonic analysis is Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In this project, a harmonic analyzer using FFT is being implemented on ARM7 core processor LP...

Deregulation of the electric power industry is making power quality a topic of increasing importance. Suitable corrective actions for the reduction of total harmonic distortion introduced into the distribution network by industrial loads are more necessary than ever. For the design of these corrective actions simulation has been proved to be a very useful tool. In this paper, the simulation of ...
