This document proposes using a PWM voltage source converter with an input filter as a front end converter to improve power quality by drawing a sinusoidal input current with low harmonic distortion and adjustable power factor close to unity. It describes the modeling and control strategy for the converter. The control strategy uses a synchronous reference frame and PI controllers to control the d-q axis currents and maintain the DC bus voltage.

A Novel Control Method for Transformerless H-Bridge Cascaded STATCOM With Sta...Projectsatbangalore
This document discusses a novel control method for a transformerless H-bridge cascaded static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) with a star configuration. There are two challenges addressed: current loop control and dc capacitor voltage control. For current loop control, a nonlinear controller based on passivity-based control theory is used, which improves performance over traditional linear controllers. For dc capacitor voltage control, an overall proportional resonant controller is combined with an active disturbances rejection controller for clustered balancing and a shifting modulation wave technique for individual cell balancing. Experimental results from two 10kV 2MVA STATCOM prototypes validate that the control methods provide excellent dynamic performance and robustness while effectively maintaining dc voltages.
Performance of the dpfc before and during series converter failureIAEME Publication
This document discusses the performance of a Distributed Power Flow Controller (DPFC) before and during the failure of one of its series converters. It begins by describing the configuration and operation of a DPFC, which uses multiple single-phase series converters and a three-phase shunt converter to control power flow without a common DC link like in a UPFC. It then analyzes the DPFC's control capabilities at the fundamental frequency and at the third harmonic frequency used to exchange power between converters. Finally, it discusses adapted control schemes that allow the DPFC to remain stable and suppress negative/zero sequence currents during a single series converter failure.

In this paper, a combined system of a thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) and a shunt hybrid power filter
(SHPF)has been designed by MATLAB/SIMULINK approach for harmonic and reactive power compensation.
The quality of the power is effected by many factors like harmonic contamination, due to the increment of nonlinear
loads, sag and swell due to the switching of the loads etc. Also control schemes based on PI and Fuzzy
logic controllers have been proposed to mitigate the harmonics and neutral current . The proposed methodology
not only reduces the complexity but also offers simplicity to implement and increases reliability of the system.
These control strategies also help in achieving a low cost highly effective control. The performance is also
observed under influence of utility side disturbances such as harmonics, flicker and spikes with Non-Linear and
Reactive Loads with different control strategies.
The document provides information about a PowerPoint presentation on Distributed Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) given by Sheikh Mohammad Sajid. It introduces D-STATCOM as a device used to mitigate current-based power quality problems at the distributed level. It discusses various classifications, topologies, components, control strategies and objectives of D-STATCOM, including reactive power compensation, load balancing and harmonic suppression. The key principles of operation involve injecting compensating currents from a voltage source converter to regulate voltage at the point of common coupling.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes control techniques for improving the performance of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The control aims to minimize variations in STATCOM operation with the grid and within the MMC itself. It achieves this by employing voltage compensation in the external control and virtual impedance in the capacitor voltage control of a five-level MMC. The proposed control is evaluated to provide an enhanced overall system response by reducing transient disturbances and balancing capacitor voltages more effectively compared to conventional proportional-integral control alone.

Comparison of PI and ANN Control Techniques for Nine Switches UPQC to Improve...MABUSUBANI SHAIK
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive review on the UPQC to reinforce power quality. Typically this can be often speculated to gift a broad outline on the varied possible intelligent controls used with UPQC. The most purpose of a UPQC is to control on voltage flicker/unbalance, reactive power and harmonics. In different words, the UPQC has the potential of up power quality at the purpose of installation on power industrial power systems. The appliance of computing is growing quick within the
space of power electronics and drives. From olden days to now days we are using twelve switches used in back to back configuration. But now we are using nine switches instead of 12 switches. In 9 switch UPQC converters given the most useful benefits compared to 12 switches power converter. The nine switches UPQC converter gets the best results by using of two methods. They are one is PI controller technique and other one is ANN controller technique. By contrast PI and ANN, ANN is better than PI for power quality enhancement and voltage sag and voltage swell mitigations. The factitious neural network
(ANN) is taken into account as a replacement tool to style management electronic equipment for power-quality (PQ) devices. A whole simulation study is administrated to analysis the performance of the ANN controller and compares its performance with the quality PI controller results. The nine-switch convertor has already been proved to possess sure benefits, additionally to its part saving topological feature. Despite these benefits, the nine-switch convertor has thus far found restricted applications because of its several perceived performance tradeoffs like requiring associate degree outsized dc-link capacitance, restricted amplitude sharing, and unnatural part shift between its 2 sets of output terminals. Rather than acceptive these tradeoffs as limitations, a nine-switch power conditioner is projected here that nearly ―converts‖ most of those topological short comings into
fascinating performance benefits. Aiming more to cut back its switch losses, Harmonics, Voltage Sag & Swell associate degree acceptable discontinuous modulation theme is projected and studied here thoroughly to doubly make sure that top reduction of commutations is achieved. With associate degree suitably designed management theme with PI and ANN with physical
phenomenon controller then incorporated, the nine-switch convertor is shown to favorably raise the general power quality in Simulation, thus justifying its role as an influence conditioner at a reduced value.

This paper proposes a virtual flux direct power control-space vector modulation combined with backstepping control for three-phase five-level neutral point clamped shunt active power filter. The main goal of the proposed active filtering system is to eliminate the unwanted harmonics and compensate fundamental reactive power drawn from the nonlinear loads. In this study, the voltage-balancing control of four split dc capacitors of the five-level active filter is achieved using five-level space vector modulation with balancing strategy based on the effective use of the redundant switching states of the inverter voltage vectors. The obtained results showed that, the proposed multilevel shunt active power filter with backstepping control can produce a sinusoidal supply current with low harmonic distortion and in phase with the line voltage.
LOAD SHEDDING DESIGN FOR AN INDUSTRIAL COGENERATION SYSTEMELELIJ
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes using an artificial neural network (ANN) to design an adaptive load shedding scheme for an industrial cogeneration power system. The paper describes modeling the cogeneration system in ETAP software and using it to generate training data for the ANN by simulating different operating scenarios. The ANN is trained to determine the minimum amount of load shedding needed based on inputs like generation, load, and frequency change rate. Compared to conventional under-frequency relay load shedding, the ANN approach aims to more accurately calculate the needed load reduction while maintaining power to critical loads. Simulation results demonstrate the ANN scheme's effectiveness at stabilizing system frequency during contingencies with generation-load mismatches
The document describes a proposed 127-level hybrid multilevel inverter topology. Multilevel inverters are useful for medium-voltage high-power applications as they can generate stepped voltage waveforms to reduce harmonic distortion. The proposed topology uses a bypass diode technique and H-bridge configuration to produce 31 voltage levels with only 8 switches and 4 diodes, reducing components compared to other multilevel inverter topologies. The performance of the 31-level inverter is studied using MATLAB/Simulink simulation. A 1 kW hardware prototype is developed to experimentally verify the concept. The proposed topology aims to reduce switching losses and total harmonic distortion in the output waveform.

Voltage Sag and Harmonics Mitigation using Distributed Power Flow ControllerIRJET Journal
The document describes a Distributed Power Flow Controller (DPFC) that is presented as a new power flow controlling device to mitigate voltage sags and harmonics. The DPFC improves upon the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) by eliminating the common DC link and distributing the series converter into multiple low-rating single-phase converters. This greatly reduces costs and improves reliability compared to the UPFC. The DPFC allows independent operation of the shunt and series converters, with active power exchanged through the transmission line at the third harmonic frequency instead of through a common DC link. The DPFC is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink to validate its ability to improve power quality during different types of faults.
This paper studies the suitability of a vector based current control which is mostly employed for its faster response in the reactive current applications of static compnesators (STATCOMs). The current control is mostly achieved using proportional-integral (PI) controllers because of the advantage of their good tracking and small variations. However, due to the dependency of PI controllers on the modular multilevel converter (MMC) system dynamics, performance variations arise during steady-state STATCOM non-ideal operations. This paper presents an improved MMC based STATCOM control with a d-q compensation algorithm added to the vector based current control. The algorithm is derived to tackle the effects of the dynamics of the MMC and the STATCOM ideal variations without the use of any additional controller. The control is achieved by providing a power compensation in the d,q-axis which injects currents at the input of the PI controllers in order to improve the steady-state performance of the STATCOM control.

Voltage Sag and Harmonics Mitigation using Distributed Power Flow ControllerIRJET Journal
The document describes a Distributed Power Flow Controller (DPFC) that is presented as a new power flow controlling device to mitigate voltage sags and harmonics. The DPFC improves upon the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) by eliminating the common DC link and distributing the series converter into multiple low-rating single-phase converters. This greatly reduces costs and improves reliability compared to the UPFC. The DPFC allows independent operation of the shunt and series converters, with active power exchanged through the transmission line at the third harmonic frequency instead of through a common DC link. The DPFC is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink to validate its ability to improve power quality during different types of faults.
This paper studies the suitability of a vector based current control which is mostly employed for its faster response in the reactive current applications of static compnesators (STATCOMs). The current control is mostly achieved using proportional-integral (PI) controllers because of the advantage of their good tracking and small variations. However, due to the dependency of PI controllers on the modular multilevel converter (MMC) system dynamics, performance variations arise during steady-state STATCOM non-ideal operations. This paper presents an improved MMC based STATCOM control with a d-q compensation algorithm added to the vector based current control. The algorithm is derived to tackle the effects of the dynamics of the MMC and the STATCOM ideal variations without the use of any additional controller. The control is achieved by providing a power compensation in the d,q-axis which injects currents at the input of the PI controllers in order to improve the steady-state performance of the STATCOM control.

Variable Voltage Source Equivalent Model of Modular Multilevel ConverterIJRES Journal
The structures of modular multilevel converter module (MMC) are very complex, and the
numerous sub-modules and output level number bring difficulties for the analysis and simulation. In this paper,
assuming the sub-capacitor voltage instantaneous value of a single arm is the same value, the switching
frequency of the switch is much higher than the output voltage frequency, the system harmonics were ignored,
the system state equations are deduced about the intermediate variables as circulation current and the capacitor
voltage between the upper and lower arms. On this basis, a variable voltage source continuous equivalent
model is proposed, which may replace the system physical simulation model with the actual simulation study. At
the same time, the model reflects the relationship between the output voltage and circulation current,which
provide a way to analyze the formation mechanism of circulation and the capacitor voltage fluctuations, and
make system analysis simple and intuitive. The simulation results validate that this continuous model is
rationality and correctness.

IRJET- Mitigation of Current and Voltage Harmonics using MAF based UPQCIRJET Journal
This document describes a proposed system for mitigating current and voltage harmonics using a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) with a moving average filter (MAF)-based control strategy. The UPQC consists of series and shunt compensators to regulate voltage and current, respectively. A photovoltaic array is connected between the compensators and provides power to the system. Simulation results show the system can effectively reduce the total harmonic distortion of both the supply voltage and current, improving power quality delivered to loads despite nonlinearities. The MAF control technique offers optimal harmonic attenuation without reducing controller bandwidth compared to other filtering methods.
A novel power converter that can perform both voltage and frequency conversion was proposed. Inappropriate power supply can damage sensitive sub-components and render the connected device inoperable. Henceforth, the proposed voltage–frequency converter acts as an interface to plug any electrical device directly into an electrical socket and provide the voltage and frequency required. The converter used a synchronous reference frame proportional–integral (SRFPI) controller to regulate the instantaneous output voltage and to improve steady state performance. Because the PI controller works together with the synchronous reference frame controller, it is difficult to tune the PI control parameters. To overcome this issue, a new meta heuristic optimization technique called lightening search algorithm (LSA) optimization was used to identify the optimum PI parameter values. A detailed description of the system operation and control strategy was presented. Finally, the performance of the converter was analyzed and verified by simulation and experimental results. The experimental result has shown that the proposed system has satisfactory output voltage and frequency under different input voltages.

Utility distribution networks have sensitive industrial loads and critical commercial operations suffer from various types of outages and service interruptions which can cost significant financial losses. Because of sensitivity of consumers on power quality and advancement in power electronics. Active power filter technology is the most efficient way to compensate reactive power and cancel out low order harmonics generated by nonlinear loads. The shunt active power filter was considered to be the most basic configuration for the APF. This paper reviews the basic principle of shunt active power filter, along with the current tracking circuit based on the instantaneous reactive power theory and the main circuit performing as an inverter with PWM hysteresis control. The instantaneous active and reactive current component (id-iq) method and instantaneous active and reactive power (p-q) method are two control strategies which are extensively used in active filters. A shunt active filter based on the instantaneous active and reactive current component (id-iq) method is proposed. This method aims to compensate harmonic and first harmonic unbalance. A Comprehensive control method is analyzed and a harmonic Compensation simulation is conducted, the result of which verifies The harmonic detection algorithm is well-proposed and the power Quality of the grid is overall-enhanced. The results are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

The UPQC provides a versatile solution to power quality problems in distribution systems.
Harmonic Suppression of Shunt Hybrid Filter using LQR-PSO based IJECEIAES
In linear quadratic regulator (LQR), two different weighting matrices play an important role in presenting the performance of this controller. Instead of using classic common approach, which is trial and error method, this study proposes a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to track the best solution of the weighting matrices. The proposed algorithm is tested on shunt hybrid active power filter (APF) to mitigate the harmonic contents in voltage and current signals in a nonlinear load system. The modeling work of this proposed system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. From the simulation, the obtained results proved that using PSO in tuning the LQR controller produce smoother nonlinear voltage and current signals. In fact, the amount of current to be injected into network can be reduced up to 95%. Besides, less time is consumed during searching the optimum weighting matrices using the proposed approach.
Time-domain harmonic extraction algorithms for three-level inverter-based sh...IJECEIAES
Power quality is a major consideration in all office equipment, manufacturies and residential home appliances. Harmonic distortion is one of the crucial power quality issues. In order to mitigate the harmonic distortion, the performance of shunt active power filter (SAPF) is judged in terms of the accuracy and response time of its designed controller. In this context, the controller consists of three parts: harmonic extraction, switching control, and DC-link capacitor. The harmonic extraction technique serves the major role of deriving the required reference current to ensure successful mitigation of current harmonics by SAPF. Among the existing techniques, harmonic extraction algorithms based on time-domain approaches are most widely applied as they offer simple implementation features with increased speed and reduced computational burden. This paper presents detailed investigation and analysis regarding the performance of two famous time-domain harmonic extraction techniques namely, synchronous reference frame (SRF) and instantaneous power (PQ) theory. Extensive simulation work is conducted in MATLAB-Simulink platform under two conditions, which are, steady-state conditions and dynamic-state conditions, considering various highly nonlinear loads. For evaluation purposes, each control algorithm is incorporated into the controller of a three-phase SAPF, developed using a three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter. Comprehensive results are provided to confirm mitigation performance of the SAPF utilizing each harmonic extraction algorithm.

Both simulation and experimental results validate the proposed PWM strategy and control scheme, showing lower total harmonic distortion than bipolar PWM and higher efficiency than unipolar and bipolar PWMs.
This document discusses shunt active power filters (SAPF). It begins with an introduction to harmonics and their negative effects. It then discusses different filter types, focusing on SAPF. The SAPF uses the P-Q theory to calculate compensation currents that are opposite the load harmonics to eliminate distortions. The key blocks of SAPF are instantaneous power calculation, reference current calculation, PWM converter, and DC voltage regulator. SAPF provides benefits like compensating a wide range of harmonics dynamically while improving power quality but requires precise current tracking and has switching frequency limitations. SAPF has applications in power systems, FACTS devices, and power electronic converters.

This paper presents a novel shunt active power filter (SAPF). The power converter that is used in this SAPF is constructed from a four-leg asymmetric multi-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter that is fed from a photovoltaic source. A three-dimensional space vector modulation (3D-SVPWM) technique is adopted in this work. The multi-level inverter can generate 27-level output with harmonic content is almost zero.

Moreover, it has a fault-tolerant capability that makes the SAPF maintaining its operation under a loss of one leg of the multi-level inverter due to an open-circuit fault without any degradation in the performance. The proposed SAPF is designed and simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK using a single nonlinear load and the results have shown a significant reduction in total harmonics distortion (THD) of the source current under the normal operating condition and post a failure in one phase of the SAPF. Also, similar results are obtained when IEEE 15 bus network is used.

The increase of nonlinear loads due to the proliferation of electronic equipment causes power quality in the power system to deteriorate. Harmonic current drawn from a supply by the nonlinear load results in the distortion of the supply voltage waveform at the point of common coupling (PCC) due to the source impedance. Both distorted current and voltage may cause end-user equipment to malfunction, conductors to overheat and may reduce the efficiency and life expectancy of the equipment connected at the PCC.

Design of Single-Switch Inverters for Variable Resistance / Load Modulation O...Projectsatbangalore
This document presents a new design methodology for single-switch inverters, like Class E inverters, that enables them to maintain zero-voltage switching over a wide range of resistive loads. Traditionally, Class E inverters are highly sensitive to load variations and only maintain zero-voltage switching over a narrow load resistance range. The proposed methodology allows for designing Class E and related inverters that can efficiently operate over a 12:1 load resistance range. This is demonstrated experimentally with a Class E inverter design operating over a 12:1 resistance range with an 8:1 output power variation and a 25W peak power.
This document summarizes a study on integrating wind and solar power generation into microgrids using battery energy storage and power electronic converters. The study proposes an aggregated model for forecasting renewable generation and develops an adaptive droop control method for battery inverters. The droop control curves are made asymmetric and adjusted based on the battery state of charge to maintain supply-demand balance while ensuring the battery state of charge stays within a desired range. The controls are demonstrated in a case study of a DC microgrid integrated within a high-rise building that harvests wind and solar power on the roof to provide power for electric vehicles.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
