Now day’s the power factor has become a major problem in power system to improve the power quality of the grid, as power factor is affected on the grid due to the nonlinear loads connected to it. Single phase bridgeless AC/DC power factor correction (PFC) topology to improve the power factor as well as the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the utility grid is proposed. By removing the input bridge in conventional PFC converters, the control circuit is simplified; the total harmonics distortion (THD) and power factor (PF) are improved. The PI controller operates in two loops one is the outer control loop which calculates the reference current through LC filter and signal processing. Inner current loop generates PWM switching signals through the PI controller. The output of the proposed PFC topology is verified for prototype using MATLAB circuit simulations. The experimental system is developed, and the simulation results are obtained.

This paper deals with power quality compensation in single-phase three-wire distribution feeders using a constant DC-capacitor voltage-control (CDCVC)-based strategy of the previously proposed bidirectional battery charger (BBC) for electric vehicles under the distorted source-voltage and load-current conditions. Instantaneous active power flowing into the three-leg pulse-width-modulated (PWM) rectifier in the BBC is discussed. The instantaneous power flowing into the three-leg PWM rectifier demonstrates that the CDCVC-based strategy obtains balanced and sinusoidal source currents at a unity power factor, where the source-side active power is balanced with the load-side active power. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that balanced and sinusoidal source currents at a unity power factor are attained in single-phase three-wire distribution feeders with both battery-charging and -discharging operations for electric vehicles even though both source voltage and load currents are distorted.

This paper manages the arrangement of a nearby three stage four wire (3P4W) electrical power appropriation framework (EPDS), utilizing a solitary to three stage bound together power quality conditioner (UPQC) topology with fluffy controller , called UPQC 1Ph to 3Ph. The topology is shown for applications in country or remote zones in which, for financial reasons, just EPDS with single wire earth return are open to the buyer. Since the utilization of three stage loads is expanding in these regions, access to a three stage dispersion framework ends up dominant. By embracing a double pay methodology, the proposed UPQC 1Ph to 3Ph is capable of depleting from the single stage electrical framework a sinusoidal flow and in stage with the voltage, coming about high power factor. Moreover, the framework is likewise ready to stifle lattice voltage sounds, just as to make up for different aggravations, for example, voltage lists. In this proposed topology we are utilizing fluffy rationale controller to Single-Phase To Three-Phase Unified Power Quality Conditioner to decrease of the music and execution will be expanded. Along these lines, a 3P4W framework with fluffy managed, offset and sinusoidal voltages with low consonant substance is accommodated single and three stage loads. An examination of the power move through the arrangement and parallel converters is performed so as to help the structuring of the power converters. Reenactment results are exhibited for approving the proposition of fluffy, just as assessing the static and dynamic exhibitions of the proposed topology.

Background: In modern electrical power distribution systems, Power Quality has become an important concern due to the escalating use of automatic, microprocessor and microcontroller based end user applications. Methods: In this paper, power quality improvement has done using Photovoltaic based Distribution Static Compensator (PV-DSTATCOM). Complete simulation modelling and control of Photovoltaic based Distribution Static Compensator have been provided in the presented paper. In this configuration, DSTATCOM is fed by solar photovoltaic array and PV module is also helpful to maintain the DC link voltage. The switching of PV-STATCOM is controlled by Unit template based control theory. Results: The performance of PV-DSTATCOM has been evaluated for Unity Power Factor (UPF) and AC Voltage Control (ACVC) modes. Here, for studying the power quality issues three-phase distribution system is considered and results have been verified through simulation based on MATLAB software. Conclusion: Different power quality issues and their improvement are studied and presented here for harmonic reduction, DC voltage regulation and power factor correction.
