Power Disturbances

The power quality problems can be defined as the difference between the quality of power supplied and the quality of power required. Recently a large interest has been focused on a power quality domain due to: disturbances caused by non-linear loads and Increase in number of electronic devices. Power quality measures the fitness of the electric power transmitted from generation to industrial, domestic and commercial consumers. At least 50% of power quality problems are of voltage quality type. Voltage sag is the serious power quality issues for the electric power industry and leads to the damage of sensitive equipments like, computers, programmable logic controller (PLC), adjustable speed drives (ADS). The prime goal of this paper is to investigate the performance of the Fuzzy Logic controller based DVR in reduction the power disturbances to restore the load voltage to the nominal value and reduce the THD to a permissible value which is 5% for the system less than 69Kv. The modeling and simulation of a power distribution system have been achieved using MATLABL/Simulink. Different faults conditions and power disturbances with linear and non-linear loads are created with the proposed system, which are initiated at a duration of 0.8 sec and kept till 0.95 sec.

This paper proposes the concept of distributed static compensator for compensation of harmonics, unbalances and reactive powers. The main aim of this diesel electrical generator is to generate electrical power and transfer to the distribution point. The main problems occurred in this distribution systems are voltage distributions, interruptions and variations in distribution system also called as power quality problems. The FACTS controllers are classified into different types based on improvement of power quality. These facts devices are classified based on their construction and connection to the line i.e. called as series and shunt converters. This paper also concentrate on the concept of fuzzy logic controller for getting better performance as compared with the previous conventional controllers. Basically, the fuzzy controller has the advantage of low steady state error and also it reduces the These experimental diagrams are verified in Matlab/Simulink and the results are verified for both PI and Fuzzy controllers.

Quality Issues

The term power quality is inescapable when it comes to Electric power system. The main intent of the researchers and different organizations all over the world is to provide the consumers with quality power. Practically, it is difficult to achieve quality power as there are number of issues associated with Electric power system called as power quality problems. Harmonics, transients, use of non linear loads, interruptions etc. are the factors which cause disturbances in the electric power system and thus leads to the deterioration in the quality of power. These disturbances are the major challenges to the power quality and must be analyzed properly before mitigating them. The paper has put emphasis on the major disturbances in the power grids. The paper is also considerate about the causes and effect of these disturbances in the power grids.

Generally, one of the custom power device in FACTS called unified power quality conditioner, which is used to compensate the voltage and current-related Power Quality issues in the distribution systems. The proposed UPQC technology have an advantage of reduced dc-link voltage without compromising its compensation capability. This new method also helps to meet the requirement of dc-link voltage for the shunt and series active filters of the UPQC. This type of topology has a capacitor in series with the interfacing inductor across the shunt active filter for filtering purpose, and the system neutral is also considered and directly connected to neutral of distribution system avoid the requirement of the fourth leg in the voltage source inverter. This paper also presents a concept for improving power quality of a power distribution system such as an FUZZY logic controller along with the UPQC control strategy. The simulation results are compared for both conventional PI controller and FUZZY controller.

Nowadays, the growing use of non-linear loads in home appliances gives rise to harmonic pollution in the electrical power distribution system, which degrades the power quality. Many domestic appliances have power electronic converters that characteristically draw a non-sinusoidal current waveform. Short-term effects of non-linear appliances are causing malfunction and damage of electronic devices and long-term effects are thermal losses in equipment and cable, hasty aging, and reduced life period of devices. The whole impact depends on the power ratings and quantity of electrical appliances and their harmonic diversity. Usually, the existence of harmonics and their effects in a domestic zone are not monitored as compared to the industrial and commercial sectors. To ensure the quality of power, it is necessary that a harmonic study is carried out to identify the details of harmonic pollution that is polluting sources, the parameters or quantities they pollute in each instance, and effective improvement methods. In this paper, experimental analysis was performed which focuses on traditional single-phase home-based electrical appliances causing the quality of power down, and implementation of the passive filter is suggested for improvement in the quality of power. All experimental harmonic distortion measurements of home-based electrical appliances were performed in the power electronic laboratory of QUEST Nawabshah. Harmonic distortion indices measurements of home-based electrical appliances have been taken using the fluke power quality Analyzer (PQA) instrument. The analysis shows that from many types of loads, switch mode power supply (SMPS) based load is rich in harmonic distortion. Therefore, an equivalent model of SMPS load in MATLAB/Simulink is developed to analyze improvement in power quality by designing and implementation of the passive filter. The outcome of this research work will be helpful to make the source current sinusoidal by reducing harmonic distortion and thus improve the power quality.

AbstractThis paper is focused on increasing the power quality of Unique Macaroni factory, located in Bahir Dar Town. Necessary data have been collected from the factory and the collected data are analysed. Based on the analysis of data, it is found that the factory working power factor is low and hovering around 0.7125. Voltage variations are up to 9.09%, average voltage unbalance is 2.2% and total harmonic distortion (THD) of load currents and voltage are 24.17% and 10.16%, respectively. Harmonic components have existed in the power distribution system of the factory. Based on the analysis of power quality problem in the factory, distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) and its control system have been designed to boost power quality of the factory and the results are obtained by generating simulations using Matlab software. It is observed from outputs of the Matlab simulations that DSTATCOM can improve the power quality of the factory. Generally, the shape of the waveform of load voltage and current is improved and THD level of load voltage is minimised to 1.55% and load current THD level is 7.09%. The reactive power needed by the loads (442 kVAr) is almost provided by the DSTATCOM, so reactive power from source supply is very small such as 22 kVAr so that the power factor of the source tends to unity.
