OBJECTIVES :
To understand the concept of power and power factor in single phase and three phase
systems supplying non linear loads
To understand the conventional compensation techniques used for power factor correction
and load voltage regulation.
To understand the active compensation techniques used for load voltage regulation.
UNIT I INTRODUCTION 9
Introduction – Characterization of Electric Power Quality: Transients, short duration and long duration voltage
variations, Voltage imbalance, waveform distortion, Voltage fluctuations, Power frequency variation, Power
acceptability curves – power quality problems: poor load power factor, Non linear and unbalanced loads, DC
offset in loads, Notching in load voltage, Disturbance in supply voltage – Power quality standards.
UNIT II ANALYSIS OF SINGLE PHASE AND THREE PHASE SYSTEM 9
Single phase linear and non linear loads – single phase sinusoidal, non sinusoidal source – supplying linear and
nonlinear load – three phase Balance system – three phase unbalanced system – three phase unbalanced and
distorted source supplying nonlinear loads – convept of pf – three phase three wire – three phase four wire
system.
UNIT III CONVENTIONAL LOAD COMPENSATION METHODS 9
Principle of load compensation and voltage regulation – classical load balancing problem : open loop balancing
– closed loop balancing, current balancing – harmonic reduction and voltage sag reduction – analysis of
unbalance – instantaneous of real and reactive powers – Extraction of fundamental sequence component from
measured.
UNIT IV LOAD COMPENSATION USING DSTATCOM 9
Compensating single – phase loads – Ideal three phase shunt compensator structure – generating reference
currents using instantaneous PQ theory – Instantaneous symmetrical components theory – Generating reference
currents when the souce is unbalanced – Realization and control of DSTATCOM – DSTATCOM in Voltage
control mode
UNIT V SERIES COMPENSATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM 9
