Concern towards power quality (PQ) has increased immensely due to the growing usage of high technology devices which are very sensitive towards voltage and current variations and the de-regulation of the electricity market. The impact of these voltage and current variations can lead to devices malfunction and production stoppages which lead to huge financial loss for the production company. The...

In this article, a new solar PV fed Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) based on Trans-Z-source Inverter (TransZSI) is proposed to improve the power quality of on-grid Photovoltaic (PV) systems. DVR electronic compensator using for injecting desired voltage Point Common Coupling (PCC) as per disturbance. DVR, in place traditional VSI, TransZSI with outstanding merits buck/boost, broader range boost ...

This paper presents the application of dynamic voltage restorers (DVR) on power distribution Systems for mitigation of voltage sags/swells at critical loads. DVR is one of the compensating types of custom power devices. An adequate modeling and simulation of DVR, including controls in MATLAB, show the flexibility and easiness of the MATLAB environment in studying and Understanding such compensa...

This paper deals with a three-phase unified power quality conditioner (UPQC), with a combination of shunt active power filter and series active power filter is used to eliminate supply current harmonics, compensate reactive power, voltage sag and voltage swell compensation on distribution network. The performance of the active power filter mainly depends on control strategy used to generate ref...

While early FACTS devices consisted mainly of thyristor-controlled/switched RLC/transformer components, the newer generation is based on the self-commutated voltage-source power converter. Different shunt FACTS devices, namely Static VAR compensator (SVC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in transmission line using the actual line model. This paper des...

In North America, Most power distribution systems employ a four-wire multi-grounded neutral (MGN) design. This paper has explained the inherent characteristics of multi-grounded three-phase four-wire distribution systems under unbalanced situations. As a result, the mechanism of voltage swell and voltage sag in MGN feeders becomes difficult to understand. The simulation tool that has been used ...

Nowadays power quality is term widely used in power systems wherein the voltage, current, and phase angle are widely discussed and used. The Time Frequency Representation (TFR) provides a powerful method for identification of the non-stationary of the signals. This paper proposes a Discrete Orthogonal S-Transform (DOST) for analysis and visualization of voltage distortions with timevarying ampl...
