This document summarizes a study on sensitivity analysis for voltage control methods in a 14 bus distribution network with distributed generators. Three voltage control methods are analyzed: 1) Switching on reactors, 2) Reducing distributed generator reactive power outputs, and 3) Switching off capacitors. For each method, the change in maximum voltage and reactive power is calculated to determine a sensitivity factor. The sensitivity analysis shows that switching on reactors has the highest sensitivity factor and should be the priority method for voltage control, while switching off capacitors has the lowest sensitivity factor. Maintaining voltage within +/- 5% of the base value using coordinated application of these methods based on sensitivity is concluded to provide optimal voltage control in the distribution network.
The document presents an algorithm for optimal placement of capacitors in radial distribution systems to enhance voltage stability. It uses voltage stability index (VSI) calculations to determine candidate nodes for capacitor placement. The algorithm iteratively selects the node with the lowest VSI value, calculates the required reactive power compensation, and checks that value against limits. It continues placing capacitors until all VSI values exceed a threshold. The method was tested on several standard test systems and showed improvements to voltage stability and reductions in losses.

Flexible ac transmission systems (FACTSs) and voltage-source converters, with smart dynamic controllers, are emerging as a stabilization and power filtering equipment to improve the power quality. Also, distributed FACTSs play an important role in improving the power factor, energy utilization, enhancing the power quality, and ensuring efficient energy utilization and energy management in grids. This paper presents a literature survey of FACTS technology tools and applications for power quality and efficient utilization of electric system. There are some drawbacks of FACTS devices. These drawbacks can be fulfilled by using new compound, scalable, light weighted and cost effective devices that are distributed-FACTS (D-FACTS). D-FACTS controllers are distributed version of conventional lumped FACTS controllers and their cost is low due to lower ratings of component and reliability also increases due to redundancy of devices.

This paper proposes a microinverter with a primary-parallel secondary-series multi-core transformer for photovoltaic modules. The microinverter uses constant off-time boundary mode control to provide maximum power point tracking and unity power factor. The multi-transformer design allows for low-profile unitary turns ratio transformers that are better coupled, improving the microinverter's overall performance. The multiphase solution increases the number of devices but reduces the current stress and losses per device, enabling easier thermal management. Furthermore, the decoupling capacitor is split among phases, allowing for a low-profile design without electrolytic capacitors that can be mounted directly on a PV module frame.

STATCOM A Review on Different Configurations and Topologiesijtsrd
Synchronous static compensators STATCOMs have been presented as a member of flexible alternating current transmission systems devices family in both distribution and transmission levels, namely distribution STATCOM and transmission STATCOM, respectively. These compensators have an important role in increasing the power quality in power systems because of having features investigated in various studies and because of the proper implementation of power functions, especially in compensating the voltage flicker. Studies on STATCOM can be categorized in two different parts. The first part is about the various topologies of the electronic converters used in the compensator and different arrangements of the coupling transformers with the network, which can be named as the power part. The second part is about theorizing at the control level, which eventually ends in producing the proper gate signals to control the switching of the electronic power switches in the power part. Considering the fact that two comprehensive reviews on STATCOM have been published in 2002 and 2009, this paper based on the aforementioned categorization reviews the studies fulfilled in the field of synchronous static compensator, especially the relevant studies in recent years published in creditable journals. The paper makes connections among the control methods and compares the ideas about power stage from different perspectives, so that conducted studies will be organized in a systematic order.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a power quality enhancement technique for a grid-connected hybrid power system using a distributed power flow controller (DPFC) with a coordinated power quality (PQ) theory and fractional order PID controller. The DPFC consists of both shunt and series controllers to mitigate voltage sags, swells, and current harmonics in the distribution system. Simulation results show that the proposed DPFC with FOPID controller provides better voltage profile improvement and compensation compared to controllers like PI, FUZZY, and ANFIS. A case study on an IEEE 12 bus system also demonstrates the superior performance of the DPFC in terms of voltage compensation and harmonics reduction.
Mitigation of Voltage Fluctuations in Power System Using STATCOMIJERA Editor
Wind energy being a renewable source of energy is enjoying a rapid growth globally. However, wind energy being an uncontrollable source of energy coupled with the fact that it uses distributed induction generators for power conversion poses a challenge in integrating a large scale wind-farm into a weak power system. An actual weak power system with two large Wind-Farms (WFs) coupled to it is introduced as part of this study. A model of this integrated system along with a STATCOM for steady state and dynamic impact study is developed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The power quality issues are highlighted and a centralized STATCOM is proposed to solve the issue of the voltage fluctuations in particular in addition to addressing the other issues. Based on the results obtained from the simulation, the system voltage control issues are analyzed and the location of STATCOM is assessed. Finally, a STATCOM control strategy for suppression of voltage fluctuations is presented.

To improve the overall efficiency of power system,
the performance of distribution system must be improved. It
is done by installing shunt capacitors in radial distribution
system. The problem of capacitor allocation in electric
distribution systems involves maximizing “energy and peak
power (demand) loss reductions” by means of capacitor
installations. As a result power factor of distribution system
improves. There is also lots of saving in terms of money. A 10
bus radial distribution system is taken as the model. Then a
load flow programs is executed on MATLAB. Then by using
load flow data & fuzzy techniques the determination of suitable
location of capacitor placement and its size is done. Shunt
capacitors to be placed at the nodes of the system will be
represented as reactive power injections. Fuzzy techniques have
advantages of simplicity, less computations & fast results. The
same techniques can be applied to complex distribution systems
& dynamic loads.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a power quality enhancement technique for a grid-connected hybrid power system using a distributed power flow controller (DPFC) with a coordinated power quality (PQ) theory and fractional order PID controller. The DPFC consists of both shunt and series controllers to mitigate voltage sags, swells, and current harmonics in the distribution system. Simulation results show that the proposed DPFC with FOPID controller provides better voltage profile improvement and compensation compared to controllers like PI, FUZZY, and ANFIS. A case study on an IEEE 12 bus system also demonstrates the superior performance of the DPFC in terms of voltage compensation and harmonics reduction.
Mitigation of Voltage Fluctuations in Power System Using STATCOMIJERA Editor
Wind energy being a renewable source of energy is enjoying a rapid growth globally. However, wind energy being an uncontrollable source of energy coupled with the fact that it uses distributed induction generators for power conversion poses a challenge in integrating a large scale wind-farm into a weak power system. An actual weak power system with two large Wind-Farms (WFs) coupled to it is introduced as part of this study. A model of this integrated system along with a STATCOM for steady state and dynamic impact study is developed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The power quality issues are highlighted and a centralized STATCOM is proposed to solve the issue of the voltage fluctuations in particular in addition to addressing the other issues. Based on the results obtained from the simulation, the system voltage control issues are analyzed and the location of STATCOM is assessed. Finally, a STATCOM control strategy for suppression of voltage fluctuations is presented.
Optimal Capacitor Placement in Distribution System using Fuzzy TechniquesIDES Editor
To improve the overall efficiency of power system,
the performance of distribution system must be improved. It
is done by installing shunt capacitors in radial distribution
system. The problem of capacitor allocation in electric
distribution systems involves maximizing “energy and peak
power (demand) loss reductions” by means of capacitor
installations. As a result power factor of distribution system
improves. There is also lots of saving in terms of money. A 10
bus radial distribution system is taken as the model. Then a
load flow programs is executed on MATLAB. Then by using
load flow data & fuzzy techniques the determination of suitable
location of capacitor placement and its size is done. Shunt
capacitors to be placed at the nodes of the system will be
represented as reactive power injections. Fuzzy techniques have
advantages of simplicity, less computations & fast results. The
same techniques can be applied to complex distribution systems
& dynamic loads.

Voltage Regulation with Hybrid RES based Distributed Generation in the for Ac...IJMTST Journal
In this paper adaptive zone-based Volt/VAR management is proposed, which coordinates active
participation of DGs with conventional voltage regulation equipment. To achieve a flexible and scalable
solution while minimizing complexity and requirements for data-handling capability, DG management
systems are integrated with decentralized parts of the Volt/VAR management system in smaller
geographical zones. Coordination of DGs with conventional voltage regulation equipment is based on
predefined control hierarchies. However, to reduce requirements for data handling capability, the distribution
grid is divided into zones with individual voltage regulation and reactive support schemes. To add flexibility
and scalability, these zones can be combined into larger zones with a common Volt/VAR management
scheme. This is referred to as adaptive zoning. The results indicate that the control schemes successfully
restore voltage to within limits after disturbance of grid conditions. Adaptive zoning effectively reduces
system complexity and requirements for data handling capability, while still ensuring a grid-wide solution.
The proposed concept is implemented to hybrid RES method the simulation results are presented by using
Matlab/Simulink platform.

Open-Delta VSC Based Voltage Controller in Isolated Power SystemsIJPEDS-IAES
This paper proposes a reduced switch voltage source converter (VSC)
topology implemented as a voltage controller in isolated power systems. In
isolated power systems generally self-excited induction generators (SEIG)
are used mainly for their ruggedness and economic reasons. Mostly for
constant power applications such as pico hydro uncontrolled turbine driven
self excited induction generators feeding three-phase loads are employed.
The proposed reduced switch voltage controller is used to regulate and
control the voltage at the generator terminals as it is subjected to voltage
drops, dips or flickers when the isolated power system is subjected to various
critical loads. In this paper the controller is realized using a three-leg fourswitch
insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based current controlled
voltage-source converter (CC-VSC) and a self-supporting dc bus containing
two split capacitors, thus reducing the IGBT count and hence cost. This
reduced switch topology forms an Open-Delta type converter. The proposed
generating system along with the controller is modeled and simulated in
MATLAB along with Simulink and power system blockset (PSB) toolboxes.
The system is simulated and the capability of the isolated generating system
along with the reduced switch based voltage controller is presented here
where the generator feeds linear and non-linear loads are investigated.

2. Flexible, Reliable and Intelligent Energy Delivery System(FRIENDS)
The FRIENDS aims to realize an uninterruptible power supply by using the DG/ESS
as backup generators.
Distributed Generators(DG)
DG has complementary characteristics: slow response and sustainable generation ability.
Dispatch supplying power among the two sources.
Energy Storage System(ESS)
Energy constraints regarding charging and discharging operations.
“The DG and ESS play the role of backup generator in the isolated system.”
5. Functions of FRIENDS
Flexibility in reconfiguration of the system by a flexible switching operation in normal,
emergency. and restorative stales, through dispersed information processing and power
electronics facilities.
A basically non-interruptive power supply by connecting to multiple power sources and
utilizing dispersed power resources and energy storage.
Multiple menu service to allow customers to select the quality of power and choose
suppliers by introducing the concept of the "power quality improvement (control)
center”.
Load levelling and energy conservation by demand-side management, dispersed power
resources, and energy storage.
Enhancement of information services lo customers.
Efficient demand-side management.
8. Balancing the supply and
demand in an isolated system
Decoupling
When a load in the isolated system changes, voltage drop along
the transformers and the reactor also changes. As a result,
voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) changes and real
and reactive power flows among QCCs emerge. In order to
satisfy the operational policy it is necessary to adjust and
9. Real Power Balancing
1) Short term balancing
In order to mitigate the burdens of DG and ESS, the proposed method is designed so that
the short-term component of load changes can be compensated by all QCCs in the
isolated system.
2) Medium term balancing
The purpose of a governor-free operation is to temporarily compensate for a steep load
change by all QCCs in the isolated system. Therefore, compensation by the other QCCs
should be readjusted so that the principle of self-supply can be achieved. This
readjustment is called medium-term balancing.
10. 3) Long term balancing
In this case, if the capacity of QCC was short, its own load would be shed according to the
predefined order of priorities.
Reactive Power Balancing
As stated in the previous section, voltage magnitude at the PCC also changes when the
connected load changes. Therefore, reactive power flows among the QCCs appearas realpower
flows do. In order to stabilize voltage magnitude at the PCC and eliminate the reactive power
flows among QCCs.
11. Allocation of Inverter Capacity
