In Isolated power systems the power quality problem is compounded as the drive converter loads are likely to fluctuate in conjunction with mining or exploration areas. The use of compensators in improving power quality of isolated power systems is considered. The roles of the compensators are to mitigate the effects of momentary voltage sags/swells, and to control the level of harmonic distorti...

The induced flow effect is the rotary motion generated in the fluid flow due to the temperature gradient. The phenomenon of thermophoresis is the movement of particles from the warmer side of the fluid to the cooler side. Laser is a very suitable device for creating a temperature gradient due to its unique features such as high power density, harmonic waves, single wavelength and very low diver...

Sub-harmonic phenomena become a critical issue as properties of the power grid change. In this paper we propose a generic architecture to detect and suppress these sub-harmonics automatically in a robust way. Therefore different algorithms to analyse the signals from the power grid, like wavelet-and prony analysis, are used and extended to rate and incorporate signal quality. The results of the...

A transformer less hybrid series active filter is proposed to enhance the power quality in singlephase systems with critical loads. This thesis assists the energy management and power quality issues related to electric transportation and focuses on improving electric vehicle load connection to the grid. The control strategy is designed to prevent current harmonic distortions of nonlinear loads ...

There are a large number of frequency-domain analysis methods that are in widespread use. The most popular of these are frequency scans, harmonic penetration, and harmonic power flow. Each of these techniques can be employed on a “per-phase” (positive or zero sequence) or “multi-phase” basis and each technique utilizes an admittance matrix system model developed from individual component-level ...

The present paper describes the steady-state response and control of power in transmission line equipped with FACTS devices. Detailed simulations are carried out on two-machine systems to illustrate the control features of these devices and their influence to increase power transfer capability and improve system reliability. The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC) and ...
