Facts controllers for power flow control a brief reviewDHEERAJ DHAKAR
This paper provides a review of FACTS devices. The value of these FACTS is the improvement of security and efficiency of power transmission networks. Fast controllability in emergency situation provides increased flexibility and therefore stability and security advantages. The flexibility in control allows operating closer to stability limits and improve the efficiency of existing networks
Power factor correction using bridgeless boost topologyDHEERAJ DHAKAR
Power quality is becoming a major concern for
many electrical users. The high power non linear loads
(such as adjustable speed drives, arc furnace, static power
converter etc) and low power loads (such as computer, fax
machine etc) produce voltage fluctuations, harmonic
currents and an inequality in network system which results
into low power factor operation of the power system. The
devices commonly used in industrial, commercial and
residential applications need to go through rectification for
their proper functioning and operation. Due to the
increasing demand of these devices, the line current
harmonics create a major problem by degrading the power
factor of the system thus affecting the performance of the
devices. Hence there is a need to reduce the input line
current harmonics so as to improve the power factor of the
system. This has led to designing of Power Factor
Correction circuits. Power Factor Correction (PFC)
involves two techniques, Active PFC and Passive PFC. An
active power factor circuit using Boost Converter is used for
improving the power factor. This thesis work analyzes the
procedural approach and benefits of applying Bridgeless
Boost Topology for improving the power factor over Boost
Converter Topology. A traditional design methodology
Boost Converter Topology is initially analyzed and
compared with the Bridgeless Boost topology and the
overall Power Factor (PF) can be improved to the
expectation. Method of re-shaping the input current
waveform to be similar pattern as the sinusoidal input
voltage is done by the Boost converter and the related
controls that act as a Power Factor Correction (PFC)
circuit. Higher efficiency can be achieved by using the
Bridgeless Boost Topology. In this paper simulation of Boost
Converter topology and Bridgeless PFC boost Converter is
presented. Performance comparisons between the
conventional PFC boost Converter and the Bridgeless PFC
Boost Converter is done.
Modern FACTS controllers are being used to control the power through the current power transmission system.
The power transfer can be controlled by using these devices in an efficient and effective manner in transmission
lines. FACTS controllers are having some downsides i.e. their bulky size, higher cost, reliability and break-in
the transmission line, which makes it obsolete to use in modern power system network. These downsides can be
fulfilled by a new compound which is 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. Enhanced Power Flow Controller (EPFC) is all a D-FACTS device which is a distributed version of
thyristor controlled series controller. This paper discusses extensive review about the EPFC and its application.
