Low voltage microgrids including sensitive loads often face unbalanced load conditions. Therefore, a compensation procedure should be carried out in order to balance and restore sensitive load’s voltage. In this paper, an effective voltage control strategy has been proposed for the autonomous operation of microgrids, under unbalanced load conditions.  The proposed strategy balances single-phase...

phase stand-alone inverter is caused by unbalanced load and a dead time distorts inverter output voltage more unsymmetrically. When the inverter supplies unbalanced load, three phase output voltages include unbalanced odd harmonics but dq-axis voltages at synchronous reference frame have even harmonics with different magnitude each other. In this paper, a new compensation method is proposed to ...

microgrids are nowadays used to produce electric energy with more efficiency and advantage. however, the use of microgrids presents some challenges. one of the main problems of the microgrids widely used in electrical power systems is the control of voltage, frequency and load sharing balance among inverter- based distributed generators (dgs) in islanded mode. droop method performance degrades ...

Load balancing algorithms improve a program's performance on unbalanced datasets, but can degrade performance on balanced datasets, because unnecessary load redistributions occur. This paper presents a cost-eeective data-parallel load balancing algorithm which performs load redistributions only when the possible savings outweigh the redistribution costs. Experiments with a data-parallel polygon...

Development of distributed generations’ technology, trends in the use of these sources to improve some of the problems such as high losses, low reliability, low power quality and high costs in distributed networks. Choose the correct location to install and proper capacity of these sources, such as important things that must be considered in their use. Since distribution networks are actu...

A delta-connected STATCOM with cascade multilevel full H-bridge (FHB) converter has been applied for phase balancing and power factor correction of unbalanced load in a three-phase, three-wire power distribution system. In this paper, a feedforward compensation formula is presented for the STATCOM by using the symmetrical components method to compensate unbalanced load. Computer simulation is p...

due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

In this paper we consider the problem of balancing a three-phase load and how to optimize the TCR operation. For an unbalanced load change a VAT technique is developed by the authors to determine the three compensating susceptance values and then the unsymmetrical firing angles of TCR, which are necessary for a balanced load operation. An objective function (THD) is determined to measure the di...

this paper presents a new control method for a three-phase four-wire unified power quality conditioner (upqc) to deal with the problems of power quality under distortional and unbalanced load conditions. the proposed control approach is the combination of instantaneous power theory and synchronous reference frame (srf) theory which is optimized by using a self-tuning filter (stf) and without us...
