This paper presents the three topologies of three-phase four-wire DSTATCOM for reduction of harmonics, reactive power compensation, increasing power factor, which occur due to a nonlinear load, environment problem and polluted grid. The performances of the above topologies have been compared for the magnitude of source current, power factor improvement, DC-link voltage regulation, and total har...

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...

Due to the wide spread of power electronics equipment in modern electrical systems, the increase of the harmonics disturbance in the ac mains currents has became a major concern due to the adverse effects on all equipment. Power electronic converters are commonly used for interfacing distributed generation (DG) systems to the electrical power network. However, the unbalanced voltage compensatio...

This paper proposes an improved control method based on modified Delta-Sigma Modulator (DSM) to enhance transient response and improve harmonic contents of buck DC-DC converter. The main advantages of the proposed method are improving the output voltage frequency spectrum, correction of the output voltage harmonic contents and sideband harmonics, reduction of switching noise peaks at the output...

In this paper, a simple control scheme of single-phase shunt active power filter for current harmonics and reactive power compensation of linear and non-linear loads, is proposed. Simplicity of the proposed control scheme is based on uncomplicated reference source current generation and fuzzy logic based dc bus voltage regulation methods. Thus, complex computations are not needed. To indicate r...

It has been established that shunt active power filters are suitable for compensating harmonics in the current fed type harmonic producing loads, likewise the series active power filter (APF) are considered to be suitable for voltage fed type harmonics-producing load. This paper discusses the indirect current control approach in terms of its simplicity and effectiveness for the operation of a s...

Abstract—This paper presents comparative study and implementation of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to eliminate harmonics and reactive power compensation in a single-phase to threephase converter system. The proposed configuration solves typical problems encountered in remote rural area applications, where only a single-phase supply is available and there is a demand for three-phase ...

Power quality is one of the areas that the power sector is worried about. Power quality is the measure of practical system resemblance to ideal system. Voltage quality can be defined as the maintenance of voltage waveform shape close to ideal shape with proper magnitude and frequency. Even a slight change in voltage of the system can cause serious damage to the power system. Sensitive loads can...
