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. The simulation results are compared without and with UPQC for the verification of results.

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.

Fuzzy Bang-Bang Control Scheme of USSC for Voltage Sag Mitigation due to Shor...IAES-IJPEDS
Unified series shunt compensator (USSC) has been widely used to mitigate various power quality disturbances in distribution network. The USSC is almost similar to the UPFC, but the only differences are that the UPFC inverters are in shunt series connection and used in transmission systems whereas the USSC inverters are in series-shunt connection and used in distribution systems. USSC, it is possible to compensate a different power quality problem as compared to DSTATCOM and DVR. It is noted that, mitigated load voltage by the DVR is lower than mitigated value obtained by USSC. In other words the USSC can mitigate voltage sag better in compared to DVR and D-STATCOM. Also in case of voltage flicker, unbalance and harmonics elimination it is much effective. Similarly, D-STATCOM is unable to control power flow. It is seen that the proposed USSC can mitigate variety of power quality (PQ) problems. Hence due to multi capability of USSC in power quality improvement, this paper presents the scheme based on fuzzy bang-bang control for USSC. Using Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) based on bang-bang control; the USSC will contribute to improve voltage sag without deteriorating the effect of the other compensating devices.

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.

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.

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.

Enhancement of Power Quality Problem by Using Dynamic Voltage RestorerAM Publications
Dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs) are used to protect sensitive loads from the effects of voltage sags on the
distribution feeder. This paper presents and verifies a novel voltage sag detection technique for use in conjunction
with the main control system of a DVR. In all cases it is necessary for the DVR control system to not only detect the
start and end of a voltage sag but also to determine the sag depth and any associated phase shift. The DVR, which is
placed in series with a sensitive load, must be able to respond quickly to a voltage sag if end users of sensitive
equipment are to experience no voltage sag. The DVR can restore the load voltage within few milliseconds. A control
technique based on a proportional–integral (PI) controller and a selective controller is used. The controller is
designed in a synchronously-rotating reference frame. In fact, three independent controllers have been used to tackle
balanced and unbalanced voltage supplies. Simulation results using ‘MATLAB SIMULINK’ Sim Power System
Toolbox is presented to illustrate the principle and performance of a DVR operation in load voltage compensation.

This document summarizes the results of a geophysical investigation using vertical electrical sounding (VES) methods at 13 locations around an industrial area in India. The VES data was interpreted to generate geo-electric sections and pseudo-sections showing subsurface resistivity variations. Three main layers were typically identified - a high resistivity topsoil, a weathered middle layer, and a basement rock. Pseudo-sections revealed relatively more weathered areas in the northwest and southwest. Resistivity sections helped identify zones of possible high groundwater potential based on low resistivity anomalies sandwiched between more resistive layers. The study concluded the electrical resistivity method was useful for understanding subsurface geology and identifying areas prospective for groundwater exploration.

This document summarizes an analysis of seismic vulnerability along the east coast of India. It discusses the geotectonic setting of the region as a passive continental margin and reports some moderate seismic activity from offshore in recent decades. While seismic stability cannot be assumed given events like the 2004 tsunami, no major earthquakes have been recorded along this coast historically. The document calls for further study of active faults, neotectonics, and implementation of improved seismic building codes to mitigate vulnerability.
Can fracture mechanics predict damage due disaster of structureseSAT Publishing House
This document discusses how fracture mechanics can be used to better predict damage and failure of structures. It notes that current design codes are based on small-scale laboratory tests and do not account for size effects, which can lead to more brittle failures in larger structures. The document outlines how fracture mechanics considers factors like size effect, ductility, and minimum reinforcement that influence the strength and failure behavior of structures. It provides examples of how fracture mechanics has been applied to problems like evaluating shear strength in deep beams and investigating a failure of an oil platform structure. The document argues that fracture mechanics provides a more scientific basis for structural design compared to existing empirical code provisions.
This document discusses the assessment of seismic susceptibility of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. It begins with an introduction to earthquakes and the importance of vulnerability assessment in mitigating earthquake risks and losses.

Abstract
Power Quality issues occur in the power system due to the non standard voltage, current and frequency. For the better power quality
there are two things two consider that voltage magnitude should be constant and waveform should be undistorted. If the reactive
power in the line varies the active power varies. As the active power is proportional to the magnitudes of the voltages at the sending
end and receiving ends, the voltage in the line gets affected due to the reactive power variations. Both the former and the later one can
be achieved by maintaining the reactive power within the limits. Whenever there is a change in the reactive power correspondingly
the active power and hence voltages gets disturbed. As the load gets changed the impedance of the line also changes correspondingly.
If the impedance of the line increases after connecting the load, the active power gets reduced. Similarly if the impedance of the line
gets decreased after connecting the load the active power increases. Both the conditions violate the stability of the system. So the
design of the power system should be in such a way that stability of the system is maintained by overcoming all these violations. This
paper presents the mitigation of voltage sag and swells with different types of load by maintaining the reactive power within limits.
For achieving the required phenomena DSTATCOM is used. DSTATCOM implemented in this system makes use of VSC and
maintains the voltage magnitude within limits under the influence of voltage sags and swells by supplying the reactive power to the
line in case of sag and by drawing the reactive power of the line in case of swell.
Keywords: DSTATCOM, Voltage Stability, Sag/ Swell, Voltage Source Converter.

1. INTRODUCTION
Electrical energy is the most convenient form of energy as it
can be converted into various forms of energy for different
purposes as lighting, heating, cooling and for number of
applications. Therefore the consumption of electricity is
increasing day by day throughout the world. As the
consumption of electricity increases there will be a serious
shortage of power. The shortage may be due to the increase in
the consumption or due to the malfunctioning of the
equipment in the system. The ultimate way to decrease or
overcome these shortages is to increase the power generation
tremendously or to overcome the situations of malfunctioning.
This paper presents a solution to overcome the later situation.
To overcome these problems suitable measures are taken
before, like circuit breakers, isolators etc, while taking these
safety measures there may be conditions of switching on extra
equipment or switching off of the present equipment. Due to
this phenomenon there may be a reduction of reactive power
or increase of reactive power in the system which leads to the
active power change. There may be a sudden change in the
load which for instant reduces or increases the active power
which in turn leads to the voltage change and distorted
waveforms. If any short circuit or open circuit in the line or
phase occurs, the voltage value changes in the line. All of
these issues which are related to problems occurring in the
system disturbing the stability are called as power quality
problems. If these problems are not eliminated by using a
suitable control technique, the entire system may lose its
stability. By keeping the necessity of power requirement in
day to day life nowadays there is a need to focus on power
quality issues to solve the economic challenges with the power
system throughout the world. The term power quality
describes by the magnitude and waveforms of the voltage and
current in power system, for standard power quality means
voltage should be within the limit and waveform should not be
distorted.
An electric distribution system can be defined as the link
between the bulk power source and the utility. The non
standard voltage, currents affecting the end user equipments
which cause equipment outage and interrupting the optimum
power flow through the system. The common problem relating
with the voltage profile is sag and swell which ranges from
10% to 90% of the nominal voltage level.
1.1 Power Quality
The consideration of power quality problems is an important
factor to meet the consumer’s demands. On the other side ,for
the electrical supply industries, the quality of power delivered
is one of the distinguishing factor for ensuring customer
loyalty in this present competitive and deregulated market .To
address the needs of energy consumers trying to improve

productivity through the reduction of power quality related
process stoppages and energy suppliers trying to maximize
operating profits while keeping customers satisfied with
supply quality, innovative technologies providing the key to
cost-effective power quality enhancements solutions. Various
power quality solutions are available; the question for a
consumer or utility facing a particular power quality problem
is which equipment providing the better solution means lesser
harmonics [1].
1.2 An Introduction to Power System Harmonics
Basically the main objective of the electric utility is to deliver
sinusoidal voltage at fairly constant magnitude throughout
their system end [2]. Then this objective is complicated by the
fact that there are number of non linear loads on the system
that producing harmonic currents in the system. These
harmonic currents result in distorted voltages and currents that
can adversely impact the system performance in different
ways. As the number of harmonic producing loads has
increasing year by years, it has become increasingly necessary
to address their influence when making any additions or
changes to an installation. To appreciate the impact of this
phenomenon, there are two important concepts we should to
keep in mind with regard to power system harmonics. The first
is the nature of harmonic-current producing loads (non-linear
loads) and the second is the way in which harmonic currents
flow and how the resulting harmonic voltages developing at
the end of the system [3].
1.3 Effects of Harmonics
The basically voltage and current harmonics effects
throughout the power system are:
The possibility to amplify of harmonic levels
resulting from series and parallel resonances.
The reduction in efficiency of the generation,
transmission and utilization of electric energy.
Insulation ageing of electrical plant components with
consequent shortening of their useful life.
In Malfunctioning system or components of the plant.
2. DSTATCOM
It is a FACTS device which is installed for the support of
electricity networks which have poor power factor and voltage
regulation also, commonly it is use for the stabilization of
voltage and to improve power factor of that network. It is a
voltage source converter based device, which can work as
reactive power source or as a sink [4].
The DSTATCOM, in which the dc storage battery also
connected with the device to charge in case of over voltage
and to discharge in case of under voltage in this way by
withdrawing and supplying the reactive power it can
compensate the reactive power. Therefore it can improve the
power factor and reduce the harmonics in the system.
The DSTATCOM proposed here maintains the voltage
magnitude within the limits by eliminating the voltage sags
and swells in the system. The DSTATCOM [8] active part in
eliminating the voltage sags and swells in the power system
under faulty conditions is as follows [10], [11]:
2.1 Voltage Sag
If there is sudden increase in the load then the voltage in the
line decreases rapidly due to the decrease in the terminal
voltage at the receiving end or the utility side. This sudden
change in the terminal voltage appears as a sag [7] in the
voltage in the line. In this case the proposed DSTATCOM
responds by supplying the reactive power to the system so that
the voltage magnitude and hence its waveform can be regained
[9].
2.2 Voltage Swell
If there is a sudden decrease in the load then the voltage in the
line increases rapidly due to the increase in the terminal
voltage at the receiving end or the utility side. This sudden
change in the utility side terminal voltage appears as voltage
swell in the line. The DSTATCOM here makes the voltage
value to be maintained in limits by absorbing the reactive
power in the line.
It is used to improve the power factor and for the voltage
regulation in the system. In the system it can absorb the
reactive power and improve the voltage stability. Its response
time is shorter than SVC [5].
3. VOLTAGE SOURCE CONVERTER (VSC)
VSC is a bidirectional component. As per the requirement this
device converts the AC voltage to DC or DC voltage to AC
voltage as per the requirement. It consists of diode, op-amp,
and transistor circuit. VSC designed for this model works in
two cases.

3.1 Inverter Mode of Operation
To convert the storage voltage or battery voltage into ac
voltage to compensate the reactive power deficiency in line.
3.2 Converter Mode of Operation
To convert the excessive power in the line into the
corresponding dc voltage equivalent and then to give to the
storage component which acts as a source for the rectifying
mode of operation.
The operation mode is automatically activated by activating
the switching signals to the switches which are generated by a
suitable control technique.
4. DESIGN OF VSC
VSC-based unit utilizes several important Technological
developments:
• High voltage valves with series-connected MOSFETs
• Compact, dry, high-voltage dc capacitors
• High capacity control system
There are some specifications in the design of a VSC and they
are explained below.
Fig 2: Three-level VSC and its PWM signal
A voltage divider and special gate unit is connected for each
MOSFET so that a uniform voltage is associated with each
switch. The unit function is to maintain required voltage
sharing between valves during the operation conditions of
normal situations as well as during disturbance and fault
conditions. There may be a case of failure of switches during
short circuit conditions. So a short circuit control mode is
available to look after that case. The switching of these
MOSFET switches is done by using PWM technique. The
amplitude and phase angle of the AC voltage can be controlled
accordingly. With the control of both amplitude and phase
angle the active power and reactive power can be controlled
respectively. Both the active power and dc voltage can be
controlled individually by the active power control loop.
Similarly the ac voltage or the reactive power can be
controlled individually by the reactive power control loop.
5. CONTROL ALGORITHM
In this paper a new control design proposed to make the
DSTATCOM adaptive in the system, it can control the
harmonics, power factor, distorted voltage waveforms and it
can compensate the reactive power. The main objective of this
control scheme is to compensate the distorted waveforms,
mitigate the voltage magnitude at that point where the variable
load connected.
In this paper a PWM technique based VSC strategy used. The
difference of reference voltage to RMS value of the terminal
voltage will generate the error signal which is the input signal
for the controller. Therefore this signal processed by PI
controller and generated signal will transfer to the PWM,
which will generate the gating pulse for the MOSFETs.
6. SIMULINK DIAGRAM
In this paper a test system designed in which load is producing
sag/swell into the system, injecting harmonics in the system
and reducing the voltage stability [6]. For the improvement of
power quality in distribution system a DSTATCOM connected
to the system in parallel. DSTATCOM property is to
compensate the reactive power of the system, which is
generated by the load by closing and opening of circuit
breaker.
Here a test model taken in which source that is generator of
230kv, 50 Hz taken, which is fed to the primary side of a 3-
winding transformer [5]. Further it distributed into two parallel
feeders, at each terminal load connected having different
resistance value. A DSTATCOM is connected to the system
and it connected to the tertiary winding of transformer also to
support instantaneously. DSTATCOM connected by using
circuit breaker for controlled operation for particular time.
Here considering two cases, in Case I by opening circuit
breaker 2 the load injecting voltage sag in the system in case
of without DSTATCOM by opening circuit breaker 1, which
can measured by scopes and further to mitigate the voltage sag
there is DSTATCOM connected in the system in parallel by
closing circuit breaker 1, which is shown in Figure 3. Figure 4
showing the FFT analysis when voltage sag produced without
DSTATCOM and Figure 5 showing the THD (Total Harmonic
Distortion). Therefore after connecting the DSTATCOM in
the system by closing the circuit breaker 1, it will supply the
reactive power and by compensating the reactive power it will
mitigate the voltage sag. The FFT analysis of voltage sag

mitigation is shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 representing
THD reduction after introducing the DSTATCOM in the
system.
In Case II, by closing the circuit breaker 2 the load is
introducing the voltage swells in the system, then there is a
need to compensate it, to mitigate the swells of the system
DSTATCOM connected in parallel as shown in Figure 8.
Therefore the voltage swells produced by load is shown in
Figure 9 and THD generation is shown in Figure 10. By
closing the circuit breaker 1 the DSTATCOM introduced in
the system which will absorb the reactive power and it will
mitigate the voltage swell. Figure 11 showing the result of
voltage swell mitigation after connecting the DSTATCOM
and Figure 12 showing the THD reduction in voltage swells.
Table I content the THD comparison of voltage sag and swell
with and without DSTATCOM. In case of voltage sag THD
reduced by 61.05% and in case of voltage swell THD reduced
by 60.24%.

7. CONCLUSIONS
In this test system the voltage sag and swell is produced by
resistive load and it is mitigated by introducing the
DSTATCOM into the system.THD reduced by 61.05% in the
case of voltage sag and THD reduced by 60.24% in the case
voltage swells. Therefore power quality improved by
controlling the voltage magnitude at constant level. Therefore
it can be implementing in the transmission line to maintain the
voltage at constant magnitude.
