The Wind generation system has potential application for the grid support that could be utilized in rural areas. However, continuous variation of wind speed results in severe power quality problems, especially in a standalone village network. In distributed generation, wind power system can cause sub harmonic and interharmonic components to appear in the spectrum of voltage and currents. These harmonics can cause flicker, overload, and interference, on the electronic equipments. This paper proposes Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is the most efficient and effective modern custom power device used in power distribution networks. This could be used to improve the power quality in a rural load fed from a wind driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The reference voltage is tracked by voltage source converter using a switching band scheme. A method of extracting the phasor symmetrical components that contain both integer and non integer harmonics and complex Fourier transform relation is proposed. In this paper, it is demonstrated that this device can tightly regulate the voltage at the load terminal when load draws integer, non integer harmonic current and sag and swell in the source side.

Nonlinear loads and grid side disturbances in the power distribution network cause harmonic rich currents and voltage perturbations such as voltage harmonics, voltage sags and voltage swells. The unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) with shunt inverter and series inverter are usually employed for elimination of current and voltage related power quality issues. However, elimination of voltage and current quality issues in a grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) system is essential. Therefore, PV integrated UPQC topology is proposed in this paper with a novel controller for power quality improvement. The control algorithm based on notch filter Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is utilized for proper phase detection and elimination of voltage and current disturbances. PV tied UPQC controller based on notch filter PLL has the capability to avoid multiple zero crossing during highly distorted grid voltage condition. Conventional control algorithms such as synchronous reference frame theory, unit vector controller based on traditional PLL are also analyzed for the control of PV tied UPQC. The proposed system is developed in Matlab/Simulink and the results obtained are evaluated to measure the performance. A real-time hardware prototype is developed using dSPACE processor. The obtained experimental results validate the efficiency of the proposed controller for PV tied UPQC.

This paper proposes a hybrid filter to minimize the power quality impact of matrix converters. Matrix converters inject significant harmonics and nonstandard frequency components into power systems. The hybrid filter is used to reduce the harmonics. A hybrid filter constructed of a shunt active filter and distributed passive filters used for power quality improvement. The proposed approach has been tested and validated on the matrix converter using Matlab/Simulink. The comparison of Simulation results for passive and active filter separately used with matrix converter with the result of matrix converter with hybrid filter is shown to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed scheme.
