This project work presents a proposed D-STATCOM system, Which is implemented in the distribution network. In the present scenario, the customer or consumer should be supplied with a quality power. The power quality issues like voltage sag, swell, lightning surges etc, can be reduced by using several advanced techniques. Among all these power quality issues voltage sag is considered and has been compensated in this project work by using D-STATCOM. The major advantage of D-STATCOM is that instead of installing the compensating device in the transmission and distribution line, the D-STATCOM unit is implemented at the consumers premises to maintain stable voltage for the connected electrical equipment’s and also to provide safe operation of the electrical equipment’s by extending their life time. The software ie., implemented by using MATLAB Simulink and the results are also verified experimentally by a hardware unit

The basic power quality problems in the distribution network are voltage sag (dip), voltage flickering, and the service interruptions. STATCOM is a Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology device which can independently control the flow of reactive power. This paper presents the simulation and analysis of a STATCOM for voltage dip and voltage flickering mitigation. Simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink to validate the performance of the STATCOM. A comparison between the six-pulse inverter and the five-level diode-clamped inverter is carried out for the performance of 66/11 KV distribution system.

A proposed voltage sag index based on power flow equations is developed and investigated in this paper. The index supervises the power quality of a system, through calculating the voltage sag profile caused by an increase in reactive demand due to induction motor starting. Mathematical equations representing the load angle of the system are also derived. The accuracy of the index is investigated for a range of load, transmission, and distribution line X/R ratio values as well as various motor loading levels. Results demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed index.

In this paper, various power quality issues that occur while driving an industrial motor drive such as voltage sag, swell, interruptions are discussed. A solution for such issues is proposed drives during various conditions of power quality issues is discussed in detail and a comparison with traditional Z-source inverter is made. The results are validated for mathematically modelled using Multicell Z-source inverter. By controlling shoot-through duty cycle using various techniques such as Simple boost control, Maximum boost control, constant boost control these issues are addressed. Multicell Z-source inverter has come as a replacement for traditional Z-source inverter due to its less EMI noise; increased voltage level with increase in cell as well as reduced voltage stress makes it more advantages than traditional one. In this paper, control of industrial system of 3 kW induction drive in MATLAB/Simulink environment and the results are summarised.

With ever increasing use of semiconductor devices and information technology (ICT) equipment in the industry, homes and offices, power quality is gaining attention to both industry and the electric utility. Power voltage quality cause huge economic losses to businesses all over the world. It is estimated to cost industry and commerce about €100 billion per annum in European Union, since voltage quality problem is one of the major power quality disturbances. This paper presents an investigative a study of the 11/0.4 kV, low voltage electrical distribution network and analyzes voltage unbalance. It recommends an effective method of improving the voltage profile and reducing the voltage unbalance to acceptable standard. The network was modelled using distribution network standard parameters for low voltage distribution network using MATLAB/Simulink sim power system tool box. The simulation results show that the percentage voltage unbalance, correct voltage profile and minimum voltage drop of 0.5 km distribution feeder line is of standard acceptable statutory limit, hence the distribution line operates at optimum performance. However, it is also established that the voltage profile for distribution network feeder lengths of 0.8 km to 5 km for balanced and unbalanced distribution lines from the beginning to the customer terminal of the distribution lengths are less than the acceptable allowable limit of – 5 %, of the nominal voltage value, hence voltages are inadmissible for customers use. Moreso, the percentage voltage unbalance, voltage profile and voltage drop on 0.8 km to 5 km distribution feeder line are all less than standard acceptable statutory limit, hence the distribution line operates below optimum performance. It was established that mitigating these problems require the electricity distribution company to install an effective voltage boosting devices along the network lengths in order provide admissible, permissible and normalize end users standard acceptable voltage.

<p>Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a series active filter device that is used to protect sensitive loads from power quality issues such as voltage sag, swell, harmonics or disturbances. This implies that the DVR is capable to mitigate power quality disturbances at load terminal. Harmonic is a major power quality problem polluting distribution network causing the end-user equipment to fail operating due to the occurrence of disturbances in voltage, current or frequency. This paper discusses on the DVR used as the proposed technique to mitigate the voltage sag and swell in a distribution network connected with energy storage system and mini-hydro turbine system.</p>
