Power Quality Improvement Using FACT Devices
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Improvement of power quality has to be treated as a matter of at most importance in the open market economy due to the increased use of non linear loads. Several devices have been used to mitigate the power quality problems. Now a days researchers are concentrating on the use of FACT devices to overcome power quality issues. Unified Power Quality Conditioner is one among such FACT devices upon which this paper has concentrated for mitigating the Power Quality problems. Here a 3 phase 3 wire UPQC is realised using MATLAB/SIMULINK to mitigate voltage sag and swell as well as to maintain sinusoidal voltage and current at PCC irrespective of load dynamics.
