Power quality issues arise from disturbances in the electric power supply that can negatively impact equipment. Common issues include voltage sags, swells, interruptions, harmonics, and spikes. Around 80% of problems originate from within industrial facilities due to large loads or improper wiring, while 20% come from external utility issues like weather events. Poor power quality can increase energy costs and cause equipment failures. Monitoring power quality helps identify disturbances and their sources to improve reliability and reduce costs. Various devices like filters, regulators, and compensators can help mitigate different power quality issues. Maintaining high power quality supports the economic operation of power systems and equipment.
Power quality refers to maintaining a steady supply of electric power that operates equipment properly without damage or stress. Deviations from the normal voltage can cause issues like brief power interruptions or dimming lights. Poor power quality costs US companies billions annually and negatively impacts energy efficiency. Common power quality issues include voltage variations, frequency variations, harmonic distortions, and low power factor, all of which increase energy consumption and equipment wear.
Power Quality is a combination of Voltage profile, Frequency profile, Harmonics contain and reliability of power supply.
The Power Quality is defined as the degree to which the power supply approaches the ideal case of stable, uninterrupted, zero distortion and disturbance free supply.

The significance of power factor correction (PFC) has long been visualized as a technology requirement for improving the efficiency of a power system network by compensating for the fundamental reactive power generated or consumed by simple inductive or capacitive loads. With the Information Age in full swing, the growth of high reliability, low cost electronic products have led utilities to escalate their power quality concerns created by the increase of such “switching loads.” These products include: entertainment devices such as Digital TVs, DVDs, and audio equipment; information technology devices such as PCs, printers, and fax-machines; variable speed motor drives for HVAC and white goods appliances; food preparation and cooking products such as microwaves and cook tops; and lighting products, which include electronic ballasts, LED and fluorescent lamps, and other power conversion devices that operate a variety of lamps. The drivers that have resulted in this proliferation are a direct result of the availability of low-cost switch-mode devices and control circuitry in all major end-use segments: residential, commercial, and industrial.
In order to keep power quality under the limits proposed by standards, it is required to incorporate some sort of compensation. There are two basic types of PFC circuits: active and passive. The simplest power factor correctors can be implemented using a passive filter to suppress the harmonics in conjunction with capacitors or inductors to generate or consume the fundamental reactive power, respectively. Active power factor correction circuits have proven to be more effective, generally integrated with the switch-mode circuitry, and actively control the input current of the load. This enables the most efficient delivery of electrical power from the power grid to the load. The demand for new smart, green products has set the stage for a worldwide migration from antiquated passive circuits to active correctors as well as from traditional analog technology to digital techniques. New digital active power factor correction delivers better full- and light-load power efficiency while lowering system costs, enabling smaller designs and providing a clear path for further feature enhancements and improved competitive positioning for a whole host of consumer and industrial products. Cirrus Logic’s novel advances in digital active PFC technology signify a major enabling element in the development of the newest generation of low cost, energy-efficient switch mode products.

A UPFC can control both voltage and impedance to regulate active and reactive power flow bidirectionally. It does this by generating reactive power with shunt inverters and injecting real power with series inverters using PWM to control voltages. This allows increasing transmission line capacity and controlling power flows.

This document presents a proposal for designing, simulating, and implementing a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) for a power system model. The UPFC is introduced as a versatile Flexible AC Transmission Systems device that can control active and reactive power flow. The proposal outlines objectives to design and simulate a UPFC model in MATLAB/Simulink, implement the hardware, compare experimental and simulation results, and integrate the controllable UPFC into the university's power system model to improve power quality. A timeline is proposed from June 2016 to March 2017 to conduct background research, system design, simulation, hardware implementation, results analysis, and reporting.
The UPFC is a FACTS device that can control all three parameters of line power flow - voltage, impedance, and phase angle. It consists of two voltage source inverters, one connected in series with the transmission line and one connected in shunt. The shunt inverter controls reactive power flow and voltage, while the series inverter controls real and reactive power flow by injecting a controllable voltage in series with the line. Control schemes for the UPFC include phase angle control, cross-coupling control, and a generalized control scheme that provides damping against power swings for improved stability. The UPFC offers benefits like improved power transfer capacity, transient stability, and independent control of real and reactive power flows.
Inspection of voltage sags and voltage swells incident in power quality probl...IRJET Journal
This document reviews voltage sags and swells, which are power quality problems that can occur in distribution systems. It defines voltage sags as temporary reductions in voltage between 10-90% of nominal voltage lasting from half a cycle to a few seconds. Voltage swells are increases between 110-180% of nominal voltage lasting 0.5 cycles to 1 minute. The document finds that voltage sags account for 31% of power quality issues reported. Major causes of sags and swells are discussed, such as faults, motor starting, and capacitor switching. Custom devices like DVRs and STATCOMs are mentioned as ways to mitigate sags and swells on the distribution system.
Voltage Flicker Analysis and its Mitigation by STATCOM for Power Quality Impr...IJMTST Journal
Voltage flicker is considered as one of the most severe power quality problems (especially in loads like electrical arc furnaces) and much attention has been paid to it lately. The reason for this disturbance is mainly due to the large nonlinear loads such as electric arc furnaces. Due to the latest achievements in the semiconductors industry and consequently the emergence of the compensators based on voltage source converters, FACTS devices have been gradually noticed to be used for voltage flicker compensation. This paper covers the contrasting approaches; dealing with the voltage flicker mitigation in three stages and assessing the related results in details. Initially, the voltage flicker mitigation, using FCTCR (Fixed Capacitor Thyristor Controlled Reactor), was simulated. Secondly, the compensation for the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) has been performed. The voltage flicker compensation by 8– pulse as well as 12 – pulse static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) has been performed. This paper deals with the voltage flicker mitigation and reduction in total harmonic distortion (THD) and compared the results in detail. The obtained results show that STATCOM is very efficient and effective for the compensation and mitigation of voltage flicker and harmonics all the simulation results have been performed on the MATLAB Software.
Power Quality Improvement by UPQC based on Voltage Source ConvertersIJRST Journal
In modern power system consists of wide range of electrical, electronic and power electronic equipment in commercial and industrial applications. Since most of the electronic equipment’s are nonlinear in nature these will induce harmonics in the system, which affect the sensitive loads to be fed from the system. These problems are partially solved with the help of LC passive filters. However, this kind of filter cannot solve random variation in the load current wave form and voltage wave form. Active filters can resolve this problem. However, the cost of active filters is high. They are difficult to implement in large scale. Additionally, they also present lower efficiency than shunt passive filters. One of the many solutions is the use of a combined system of shunt and active series filters like Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) which aims at achieving a low cost under highly effective control. The UPQC device combines a shunt active filter together with a series active filter in a back-to-back configuration, to simultaneously compensate the supply voltage and the load current or to mitigate any type of voltage and current fluctuations and power factor correction in a power distribution network, such that improved power quality can be made available at the point of common coupling. The control strategies are modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The performance is also observed under influence of utility side disturbances such as harmonics and voltage sags.

Control of Dvr with Battery Energy Storage System Using Srf TheoryIJERA Editor
One of the best solutions to improve power quality is the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). DVR is a kind of
custom power devices that can inject active/reactive power to the power grids. This can protect loads from
disturbances such as sag and swell. Usually DVR installed between sensitive loads feeder and source in
distribution system. Its features include lower cost, smaller size, and its fast dynamic response to the
disturbance. In this project SRF technique is used for conversion of voltage from rotating vectors to the
stationary frame. SRF technique is also referred as park’s transformation. In this the reference load voltage is
estimated using the unit vectors. The real power exchanged at the DVR output ac terminal is provided by the
DVR input dc terminal by an external energy source or energy storage system. In this project three phase
parallel or series load may be used along with SRF technique to compensate voltage sag and voltage swell. And
also wind generator is also used as a load. This project presents the simulation of DVR system using
MATLAB/SIMULINK.

This document discusses modeling, simulation, and implementation of a D-STATCOM to improve power quality. It begins with an introduction to voltage sags as a common power quality issue. It then provides details on the operating principles of a D-STATCOM, which uses a voltage source converter to inject current and regulate voltage. Simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink show that the D-STATCOM is effective at mitigating voltage sags and swells. Control algorithms like instantaneous reactive power theory allow the D-STATCOM to independently control real and reactive power flows.
The document describes the design and simulation of a DSTATCOM (Distribution Static Compensator) for improving power quality. A DSTATCOM is modeled in Simulink to mitigate voltage sags and swells caused by faults in a distribution system. Simulation results show that the DSTATCOM is able to regulate the voltage at the load point during single phase, double phase, and three phase faults by injecting compensating current. The DSTATCOM control is based on sinusoidal pulse width modulation and requires only measurement of the RMS voltage at the load point.

This document discusses a novel multi-level converter unified power quality conditioning system (MC-UPQC) capable of simultaneously compensating for voltage and current in multi-bus/multi-feeder systems. The proposed MC-UPQC topology includes one shunt voltage-source converter and two or more series VSCs, allowing power to be transferred between feeders to compensate for sags, swells, and interruptions. Simulation results show the MC-UPQC can significantly reduce power losses, mitigate under voltages, and enhance voltage stability in distribution networks compared to other designs. The MC-UPQC provides a more efficient solution for under voltage mitigation in multi-feeder systems.
A Voltage Controlled Dstatcom for Power Quality Improvementiosrjce
Due to increasing complexity in the power system, voltage sag is becoming one of the most significant
power quality problems. Voltage sag is a short reduction voltage from nominal voltage, occurs in a short time.
If the voltage sags exceed two to three cycles, then manufacturing systems making use of sensitive electronic
equipments are likely to be affected leading to major problems. It ultimately leads to wastage of resources (both
material and human) as well as financial losses. This is possible only by ensuring that uninterrupted flow of
power is maintained at proper voltage levels. This project tends look at the solving the sag problems by using
custom power devices such as Distribution Static compensator (D-STATCOM).Proposed scheme follows a new
algorithm to generate reference voltage for a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) operating in
voltage-control mode. The proposed scheme ensures that unity power factor (UPF) is achieved at the load
terminal during nominal operation, which is not possible in the traditional method. Also, the compensator
injects lower currents therefore, reduces losses in the feeder and voltage-source inverter. Further, a saving in
the rating of DSTATCOM is achieved which increases its capacity to mitigate voltage sag. Nearly UPF is
maintained, while regulating voltage at the load terminal, during load change. The state-space model of
DSTATCOM is incorporated with the deadbeat predictive controller for fast load voltage regulation during
voltage disturbances. With these features, this scheme allows DSTATCOM to tackle power-quality issues by
providing power factor correction, harmonic elimination, load balancing, and voltage regulation based on the
load requirement.
This document presents a study on using a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) to improve power quality issues like voltage sags and swells. It begins with an introduction to power quality problems such as voltage sags, swells, harmonics and transients. It then discusses different custom power devices that can be used as solutions, focusing on DSTATCOM. The document presents the configuration, modelling and control of a DSTATCOM. It proposes a control scheme for DSTATCOM and presents simulation results demonstrating its ability to regulate voltage during sags and improve power factor. The conclusion states that the proposed DSTATCOM scheme can effectively mitigate various power quality issues related to voltage and current.
