This paper presents the application of DSTATCOM in a distribution network with induction furnace load. Induction furnace is one of the common types of load used in industries like the steel industry. The problem with the induction furnace load is the generation of appreciable amount of harmonic distortion. This distortion results due to the design and operation of the induction furnace. This ha...

The present investigation is concerned with the deformation of thermoporoelastic half space with incompressible fluid as a result of inclined load of arbitrary orientation. The inclined load is assumed to be linear combination of normal load and tangential load. The Laplace and Fourier transform technique are used to solve the problem. The concentrated force, uniformly distributed force and a m...

Load flow analysis is widely used for finding voltage at various parts of a large, interconnected power system. The exponential increase in the use electronic devices and noticeable percentage integration renewable energy sources modern systems result occurrence non-sinusoidal voltages By reformation Newton-Raphson load method, few harmonic algorithms have been developed transmission systems. H...

This paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. The power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a RL low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an RL in series with an IGBT based voltage source converter. The filter is assumed...

The single-phase traction load has essentially an unbalance characteristic at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC), which injects harmonic into the utility grid. In this paper, the effect of harmonic distortion and unbalance loading are investigated simultaneously for electrical railway systems. Special traction transformers (i.e. single-phase, V/V, Wye-Delta, Scott, and Le Blanc) are used betwee...

During the last decade power system have been equipped with complex components such as Distribution Static Var Compensators (D-SVCs). These components have introduced new possibilities to control power systems, D-SVCs can almost continuously change the amount of reactive power from capacitor banks. The behavior of these new components is different from 'old' technologies since they contain powe...

Chapter 3 presents ANN based adaptive shunt passive filter, whose performance is found to be superior to fixed element shunt passive filter in harmonic and reactive compensation. However, the drawback is that it can provide only partial harmonic and reactive power compensation. Hence, an ANN based digital controller for active filter is developed. It compensates for the major portion of source ...
