UNIT I INTRODUCTION

Introduction – Characterization of Electric Power Quality: Transients, short duration and long duration voltage variations, Voltage imbalance, waveform distortion, Voltage fluctuations, Power frequency variation, Power acceptability curves – power quality problems: poor load power factor, Non-linear and unbalanced loads, DC offset in loads, Notching in load voltage, Disturbance in supply voltage – Power quality standards.

UNIT II ANALYSIS OF SINGLE PHASE AND THREE PHASE SYSTEM

Single phase linear and non-linear loads – single phase sinusoidal, non-sinusoidal source – supplying linear and nonlinear loads – three phase balanced system – three phase unbalanced system – three phase unbalanced and distorted source supplying non-linear loads – concept of power factor – three phase- three wire – three phase – four wire system.

UNIT III CONVENTIONAL LOAD COMPENSATION METHODS

Principle of load compensation and voltage regulation – classical load balancing problem : open loop balancing – closed loop balancing, current balancing – harmonic reduction and voltage sag reduction– analysis of unbalance – instantaneous of real and reactive powers – Extraction of fundamental sequence component from measured.

UNIT IV LOAD COMPENSATION USING DSTATCOM

Compensating single – phase loads – Ideal three phase shunt compensator structure – generating reference currents using instantaneous PQ theory – Instantaneous symmetrical components theory – Generating reference currents when the source is unbalanced –Realization and control of DSTATCOM – DSTATCOM in Voltage control mode

UNIT V SERIES COMPENSATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Rectifier supported DVR – DC Capacitor supported DVR – DVR Structure – Voltage Restoration – Series Active Filter – Unified Power Quality Conditioner.
