Aims : The main focus in this work is to improve balanced and sinusoidal grid currents by feeding compensating current at point of common coupling (PCC). Background: In recent years the advancement in electronics and electrical appliances are widely improved and are also more sophisticated. These appliances require uninterrupted and quality power. Therefore in the growing power system scenario, several issues like malfunction of electrical sensitive devices, overheat in transformer, interference in communication, failures in computer network etc., adversely affects the power quality (PQ). These issues are generated due to rapid use of non-linear loads in three-phase system which generates harmonics in the system. To overcome from these PQ issues, several PQ mitigation custom power devices are integrated in power distribution network. But, the conventional PQ mitigation devices are insufficient to eliminate PQ problems such as current and voltage harmonics, voltage sag/swell and voltage unbalances associated with the power distribution network. Objective : The objective of using A-PSO is to find the global optimum of the spread factor parameter at the upper level. APSO, has a faster convergence speed and correct response compared to the PSO algorithm. Method : SO A-PSO M p-q. Result: A-PSO is giving better results than PSO. Conclusion : A three-phase system with SHAPF injected at PCC is proposed in this paper. The SHAPF injects filter current at PCC for supressing the harmonics using a modified pq scheme. For controlling the PIC, two optimised parameters are discussed and found that reducing the harmonics distortions using A-PSO is giving better results compare to the conventional PSO.

Novel Method

This paper presents a novel method of fault diagnosis by the use of fuzzy logic and neural network-based techniques for electric power fault detection, classification, and location in a power distribution network. A real network was used as a case study. The ten different types of line faults including single line-to-ground, line-to-line, double line-to-ground, and three-phase faults were investigated. The designed system has 89% accuracy for fault type identification. It also has 93% accuracy for fault location. The results indicate that the proposed technique is effective in detecting, classifying, and locating low impedance faults.

Uniform Sampling

The advancement in science and technology comes with continuously expanding power system scale, increasingly complex system operation condition and higher requirements for accuracy and speed of power system reliability evaluation, but actual calculation methods cannot meet the needs. Therefore, there is need to improve the reliability of conventional power distribution network so that requirements of calculation speed and calculation accuracy can be met. In this paper, reliability of the power distribution network will be evaluated using improved Monte Carlo method with uniform sampling. The average value is obtained through calculation of state of multiple sub-intervals and test functions, which effectively improves calculation accuracy, and further increases the utilization of random numbers. By improving the uniform sampling method, the Monte Carlo simulation variance is reduced, and evaluation and calculation efficiency is improved. At the same time, unqualified power grid is selected for analysis. Based on the simulation results, qualified power distribution networks are compared to point out where the requirements are not met. Also, comparative analysis is made on the effect of power distribution network grid structure etc. on the user’s power supply. Finally, suggestions for improving power distribution network reliability are given from equipment reliability, grid structure.

Majority of the industrial electrical loads requires balanced three phase supply but in reality there is unbalanced supply due to single phase loads like railway tracks etc.increasing use of non linear loads in modern power distribution network there are some power quality issues like voltage sags and voltage swells, this distortion of the power supply effect the loads which are connected to power distribution network. In order to improve quality of the power, in this paper a Sen Transformer (ST) technique as been proposed to minimize unbalanced voltage sags and swells. The proposed technique mitigates both voltage sag and swell during balanced and unbalanced operating conditions. The proposed ST consists of a programmable tap controller to compensate ride through faults in power system network. The proposed work as been implemented using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. To validate the proposed work, simulation results are presented.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to describe the design of a Hybrid Series Active Power Filter (HSeAPF) system to improve the quality of power on three-phase power distribution grids. The system controls are comprise of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) based on the Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory, and supported by Phase Locked Loop (PLL) for generating the switching pulses to control a Voltage Source Converter (VSC). The DC link voltage is controlled by Non-Linear Sliding Mode Control (SMC) for faster response and to ensure that it is maintained at a constant value. When this voltage is compared with Proportional Integral (PI), then the improvements made can be shown. The function of HSeAPF control is to eliminate voltage fluctuations, voltage swell/sag, and prevent voltage/current harmonics are produced by both non-linear loads and small inverters connected to the distribution network. A digital Phase Locked Loop that generates frequencies and an oscillating phase-locked output signal controls the voltage. The results from the simulation indicate that the HSeAPF can effectively suppress the dynamic and harmonic reactive power compensation system. Also, the distribution network has a low Total Harmonic Distortion (< 5%), demonstrating that the designed system is efficient, which is an essential requirement when it comes to the IEEE-519 and IEC 61,000–3-6 standards.
