Power Quality Issues and Solutions

  • Rapidly growing power electronics technology is providing different Power Quality solutions.
  • All custom power devices are capable of providing a number of power quality functions which can be employed selectively or simultaneously.
  • Two of the devices DSTATCOM and the DVR share a similar architecture which are based on the voltage source converter.
  • DVR is connected in series with the line where as DSTATCOM is in shunt with the line across the load.
  • DVR injects a dynamically controlled voltage produced by PWM voltage source inverter in series to bus voltage by means of Transformer.
  • The DVR designed for series connection into a power supply line. It controls voltage applied to load by injecting a voltage.
