This paper presents a Power Quality (PQ) virtual lab that can be used by electrical engineers (EE) to enhance their knowledge and awareness on power quality disturbances in accordance to power quality standards. It will offer the EE the facility to become more aware about the problems tackling power systems and nonlinear devices, and their effects on the power quality indices. This work is built using NI LabVIEW/Multisim and is composed out of many simulations and experiments each with its learning objectives. The established measured power quality indices are mainly the root mean square (RMS), the total harmonic distortion (THD), the distortion index (DIN), the telephone influence factor (TIF), the crest factor (CF), the voltage transformer product (VT), the current transformer product (IT), the displacement power factor (DPF), the true power factor (TPF) and the unbalance factor (UF). Each of these indices is measured and analyzed in order to check how they are affected by the PQ issues.

Power Quality Improvement

A new control strategy for active power filters is proposed, modeled and implemented in order to improve the power quality of a line commutated converter High voltage DC link. The ability of reactive power and harmonics reductions are generally met by using passive and active power filters. In this paper, modified active power filter with a modified harmonics pulse width modulation algorithm is used to minimize the source harmonics and force the AC supply current to be in the same phase with AC voltage source at both sending and receiving sides of a line commutated converter high voltage DC link. Therefore, it is considered as power factor corrector and harmonics eliminator with random variations in the load current. The modified harmonics pulse width modulation algorithm is applicable for active power filter based on a three-phase five-level and seven-level cascaded H-bridge voltage source inverter. Simulation results show that the suggested modified multilevel active power filters improve total harmonics distortion of both voltage and current with almost unity effective power factor at both AC sides of high voltage DC link. Therefore, modified active power filter is an effective tool for power quality improvement and preferable for line commutated converter high voltage DC link at different load conditions.
