Enhancement of Power Quality in Distribution System by Ultra Capacitor Integrated Power Conditioner

G. Akhil, D. Srinivasa Rao, K. Bhavya

Abstract


With increasing applications of nonlinear and electronically switched devices in distribution systems and industries, power-quality (PQ) problems have become serious concern. In this paper, UCAP is integrated into dc-link of the power conditioner through a bidirectional dc–dc converter that helps in providing a stiff dc-link voltage. In this study an energy storage system (ESS) supply power demand using a DC/DC boost converter respectively. The integration helps in providing active/reactive power support, intermittency smoothing, and sag/swell compensation.

Keywords


dc–dc converter; dynamic voltage restorer (DVR); energy storage integration; sag/swell; ultra capacitors (UCAP); fuzzy logic control.
