This paper presents distributed power quality conditioning system to compensate current and voltage distortions in three-phase four-wire networks caused by unbalanced non-linear single-phase loads. The proposed conditioning system consists of several hybrid filter units installed in various nodes for compensation of excessive neutral currents and voltage distortions in a selected area of the distribution network. The system is open and it can be easily modified by installation of new filter units. A novel hybrid filter design procedure based on filter frequency characteristics optimization in the parameters of passive and active parts is presented. A digital system of control signal computation for active filters based on the use of modern methods of spectral analysis is considered. The proposed digital control system enables selective compensation of fundamental and harmonic components. The mathematical model of the proposed power quality conditioning system is developed in the MatLab software. The simulated results show that the presented conditioning system reduces the level of neutral conductor currents and the voltage unbalance as well ensures harmonic compensation in three-phase four-wire networks.

Abstract. In this contribution, a new approach for EMC-filter design is presented. Due to the increasing electrification of modern aircraft, as a result of the More Electric Aircraft concept, new strategies and approaches are required to fulfill the strict EMC aircraft standards (DO-160/ED-14 – Sec. 20). Consequently the weight and volume of the used filter components can be reduced. A promising approach could be a combination of passive and active filters. For the same attenuation effect, so-called hybrid filters achieve either savings in weight and volume, or can obtain an additional filtering effect with minimal weight increase of an existing system. In this paper, the underlying theory is explained in detail, carried out in a simulation tool and the gained insight is demonstrated with a sample measurement.

Abstract The experimental studies result on the power quality and additional power losses analysis caused by the asymmetric modes occurrence in three-phase four-wire 0.38 kV electrical networks are considered. The operating modes 38 kV networks several types simulation – with power take-off nodes distributed along the power line, and an electric network with a concentrated load is carried out. The programs have been developed that allow to assess the change in indicators characterizing asymmetric modes, as well as programs that allow us to visualize this process change. The most installing special symmetrical devices appropriate places in electric networks with a distributed load (rural electric distribution networks) and concentrated power take-off nodes electric networks (urban electric networks) have been identified to minimize losses and improve the power quality. A numerical studied indicators analysis was performed.

Abstract Power Quality has always been a major concern ever since the increase in the usage of many power electronic loads such as Personal Computers (PCs), TVs, variable frequency drives in nearly every household. These loads are a major source of harmonics into the distribution system. Unbalanced Three-phase loads or different single-phase loads result in unbalance in the three-phase voltages and currents in the grid. Equipment damage, Loss of data, nuisance tripping, overheating of wires, relay tripping are few of the major issues caused due to power quality. Also, there is an increase in the awareness about the various power quality issues as well as its ill-effects amongst the consumers. Hence, it is essential to improve the quality of the power supplied. Active and Passive filters play a huge role in the mitigation of power quality issues. In recent years, usage of active filters has increased because tuning is possible for various harmonic elimination and active filters when combined with a storage system can provide active as well as reactive power compensation. The fast depletion of non-renewable sources of energy and its effect on the environment has shifted the focus on the usage of non-renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, etc for the production of electricity. In this research work, solar energy is combined with shunt active filter for the mitigation of various power quality issues occurring in a grid-connected non-linear and unbalanced three-phase load. The active power filter will provide reactive power compensation to the non-linear load and active power delivery for unbalanced loads such the grid current and voltage will remain balanced and the stress on the grid is reduced while meeting the load demand. A battery system is also integrated to store the excess energy that may be generated by the Photo-Voltaic(PV) array and acts as a source of energy when PV array output is low or nil. Conservative Power Theory is used for controlling the power injection into the system by the Voltage Source Converter(VSC). The proposed system is verified using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

To balance three-phase loads in distribution network with abundant of single-phase loads, the idea of three-phase adjustment and wiring method is proposed in this paper. Three-phase adjustment controller is designed, and the least load adjustment strategy is proposed, which can adjust the three-phase load to roughly balance automatically. The system can solve the serious three-phase unbalance problem of the lines with single-phase load, which may instead of capacitive compensation in low voltage distribution network. It can improve power quality and reduce network losses.
