This paper investigates the design,analysis and simulation of a Distribution-STATic COMpensator(D-STATCOM) for non-linear load Composite(harmonic and reactive power) compensation on a three phase bus network. Composite compensation is achieved by implementation of a p-q controller, which monitors the load current and injects equal amplitude and opposite phase compensation currents to neutralize...

This paper presents a new control method for simultaneous compensation of instantaneous reactive power and current harmonics by parallel active filters (PAFs). Reference compensating currents of PAF are calculated using the subtraction of instantaneous power from its average value. In this way, it is possible omitting high/low pass filter(s) from the control circuit of PAF, which usually result...

Large perceptual class motor load is the main production equipment of metallurgical enterprise, although has taken independent secondary substation power supply mode, but due to the influence of the impact load, Often appears on the bus voltage drop and low power factor and harmonic big problems, , this article is based on SVC compensation control mechanism, the sectional control mode, the prin...

electric arc furnace (eaf) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. it is highly time varying and nonlinear. its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. on the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in eaf. to this end flexible ac transmission systems (facts) techn...

Topology for reactive power compensation of dynamic load in closed loop is presented. The scheme consists of Thyristor Binary Switched Capacitor (TBSC) banks and a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR). TBSC is based on a chain of Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC) banks arranged in binary sequential manner. TCR capacity is chosen to be smallest of TBSC step size. A transient free switching of TBS...

Frequent occurrence of large-scale cascading trip-off of wind turbine raises the concern about the decision process of ordered control of reactive power compensation devices. The theory of fuzzy multi-attribute decision making is adopted to ascertain the action sequence of reactive power compensation devices. First, a set of evaluation indexes including control sensitivity, regulation margin, r...

Power quality issues are becoming a major concern of today's power system engineers. Shunt active power filter (SAPF) is one of the effective means for harmonic current compensation in electrical power system. The performance and dynamic characteristics of a three-phase SAPF with a simple control algorithm is presented and analyzed in this paper. This algorithm operates at fixed switching frequ...
