Nowadays, improving the power quality at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) between the consumers’ installations and the distribution system operators’ installations depends more and more on the use of specialized equipment, able to intervene in the network to eliminate or diminish the disturbances. The reactive power compensators remain valid solutions for applications in consumer and electricity distribution, in those situations when the criterion regarding the costs of installing and operating the equipment is more important than the ones related to the reaction speed or the control accuracy. This is also the case of the equipment for power factor improvement and load balancing in a three-phase distribution network. The two functions can be achieved simultaneously by using an unbalanced static var compensator, known as an adaptive balancing compensator, achieved by adjusting the equivalent parameters of circuits containing single-phase coils and capacitor banks. The paper presents the mathematical model for the sizing and operation of a balancing reactive compensator for a three-phase four-wire network and then presents some resizing methods to convert it into a balancing capacitive compensator, having the same functions. The mathematical model is then validated by a numerical application, modelling with a specialized software tool, and by experimental laboratory determinations. The paper contains strong arguments to support the idea that a balancing capacitive compensator becomes a very advantageous solution in many industrial applications.

This paper is intended to simulate a power quality conditioning device, Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), in countryside areas for non-linear loading. From past decades there is much increase in the requirement of the good quality electrical power in single phase distribution grids established in these locations. Due to technical advancement, three-phase loads are practiced more than single phase loads so that the demand for three phase distribution grids is growing. But the installation process of three-phase grids, at countryside areas, is not an economic option and to get access to these systems is a very challenging task. So a neighbouring three-phase distribution system is required to be established at the location, where single-phase to three-phase UPQC with single wire earth return is appropriate for the end user due to economic considerations. A dual compensation strategy is implemented to obtain the reference quantities for controlling the converters. The proposed idea is accomplished to eliminate voltage harmonics and mitigate further instabilities and power quality problems. This system allows the balanced and regulated voltage with lower harmonic content. Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) based controllers are considered to organize the input grid current and the load voltages of the UPQC. The present prototype under consideration analyses and validates the compensation and controlling techniques using PI controller. The control strategies are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

A 1-phase induction motor usually has a complicated windings design which compares to polyphase induction motor. In addition, a large capacitor start is required to operate the motor. It is an expensive way to operate the motor if it compare to polyphase induction motor. So, a new innovation method is required to make the motor more simple and cheaper. This research is purposed to study a new winding design for a single-phase capacitor motor. Winding design of the motor was conducted to a simple winding design like a 4-phase induction motor that has four identical windings. The comparator motor that use in this study was a Three-phase induction motor with data 1400 RPM, 1.5 HP, 50Hz, 380/220V, Y/Δ, 2.74/4.7A, 4 poles, that had the same current rating which the proposed method. The result showed that the motor design on this proposed method could be operated at 88.18 % power rating with power factor close to unity.
