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.

Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM) is a shunt compensating device which is used
to improve current profile by exchanging of reactive power with unbalanced and nonlinear load. DSTATCOM is a
shunt compensating device used for power quality improvement in distribution systems. Relevant solutions are
applied for harmonics, fluctuation of voltage, voltage deviation, unbalance of three phase voltage and current and

(FPT), Synchronous Reference Frame Theory (SRFT) and Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory (IRPT) are used
for reactive power compensation with the help of Voltage source Inverter (VSI). In this project we are going to
balance the source current using different control schemes. The results of different source currents are compared

Reference currents are generated by the different control schemes have been dynamically traced in a hysteresis
current controller. The performance of DSTATCOM for different control schemes is validated for load balancing
and harmonic elimination by using simulation models in MATLAB/SIMULINK
Power system harmonics are a menace to electric power system with disastrous consequence. Due to the presence of non linear load, power quality of the system gets affected. To overcome this, shunt active power filter have been used near harmonic producing loads or at the point of common coupling to block current harmonics. The shunt active power filter is designed to minimize harmonics in source current and reactive power in the non linear power supplies which are creating harmonics. In this paper, Instantaneous power of p-q theory is employed to generate the reference currents and PI controller is used to control the dc link voltage. In addition to this, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique is used to minimize the harmonics produced by nonlinear load. The main objective of this paper is to analyze and compare THD of the source current with PI controller and by artificial neural network based back propagation algorithm. The proposed system is designed with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

Closed Loop Non Linear Control of Shunt Hybrid Power Filter for Harmonics Mit...IAES-IJPEDS
In recent years, the amount of non-linear loads has increased considerably since there were improvements in power electronic equipment (such as adjustable speed drives or converter ac-dc, ac-ac, dc-ac and dc-dc) in industrial sectors which cause deterioration of the quality of the electric power supply through distortion of supply voltage and supply current. This has led to improvement of many stringent needs regarding generation of harmonic current, which are found in IEEE519 and IEC61000 standards. This paper proposes a non-linear function based closed loop control strategy (without load current extraction) for three-phase Shunt Active Power Line Conditioner and LC passive filter to compensate harmonics, power factor improvement and enhance the dynamic performance of Shunt Hybrid Power Filter (SHPF). By using a PI controller the DC bus voltage of the Shunt Active Power Filter is maintained constant. Results obtained from simulation shows the performance of expected hybrid filter in transient and steady state operation . This indicates that the controller is able to compensate even under severe load current imbalances.

Dynamic Power Factor Correction in a Non Linear Environmentiosrjce
Electric power quality mainly refers to maintaining a near sinusoidal power distribution bus voltage
at rated magnitude and frequency. In modern electric power supply distribution systems, there is a sharp rise in
use of both single phase and three-phase non-linear loads and due to these non-linear loads, non-sinusoidal
unbalanced current is drawn from ac mains resulting in harmonic injection, burden of reactive power, more
neutral currents and unbalanced loading of ac mains. In this paper the simulation of ideal shunt active power
filter is carried out to eliminate harmonics and also improving the power factor for three-phase, three-wire
system. In addition to this, simulation of shunt APF for three-phase, three-wire distribution system using time
domain p-q theory has been carried out to eliminate harmonics. Also an attempt is made to find out various
power quality problems and among these problems most prominent and frequently occurring problem
harmonics is analyzed and its causes, effects and mitigating or improving techniques are explained in detail. A
case study using ideal shunt AF and Shunt AF using p-q theory is also carried out in this paper.

In this paper is to study the denomination Power quality and large refers to maintaining a proximal sinusoidal power distribution bus voltage at rated magnitude and frequency. This is mainly affected by the generation of harmonics. Even though electronic and non-linear devices are flexible, economical and energy efficient, they may degrade power quality by creating harmonic currents and consuming excessive reactive power. This paper shows the method of improving the power quality using shunt active power filter with proposed optimized PI. The proposed topic comprises of PI controller, filter hysteresis current control loop, dc link capacitor. The switching signal generation for filter is from hysteresis current controller techniques. With the all these element shunt active power filter reduce the total harmonic distortion. Its source current, compensating current and THD values are studied, then PI control strategy is applied then the differences in THD are compared. The PI feedback compensation design starts with the small signal system' transfer function. Then an optimum constant of PI for a Shunt-APF is proposed and implemented to enhance its response to compensation of harmonics of linear and non-linear loads. The obtained results have demonstrated the ability to compensate the current harmonics effectively under distorted source conditions. The fluctuation in the dc bus voltage of the filter depends on the compensation speed of the outer loop that regulates the dc bus voltage. The proposed shunt active filter model uses balanced linear and non-linear load works successfully lowers the THD within IEEE norms and satisfactorily works to compensate current harmonics. The model is made in MATLAB SIMULINK and successfully reduces the harmonic in the source current.

Performance analysis of three phase shunt hybrid active power filtereSAT Journals
Abstract Active filtering of electric power has now become a mature technology for harmonic and reactive power Compensation in AC networks. The past several years have seen a rapid increase of power electronics-based loads connected to low and medium voltage power distribution systems. These loads draw non-sinusoidal current from the mains, degrading the power quality by causing harmonic distortion. This paper proposes a three phase Shunt Hybrid Active Filter (SHAF) topology for harmonic reduction and power factor improvement in low voltage power distribution systems. The compensation current reference for the proposed SHAF topology is obtained by using synchronous reference frame theorem. This theorem simplifies the equations for the current reference estimation in d-q co-ordinates thus leading to a more efficient and fast computation. To generate the compensation current that follows the current reference, the hysteresis current control method is adopted for 2-level VSI in low voltage system, the system is verified by developing simulation model using MATLAB/Simulink simulation package and the results are presented. The performance of shunt active filter and the proposed shunt hybrid active filter topology in reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) is compared for low voltage distribution system. Keywords: SAPF, SHPF, PI control, THD, Hysteresis current pulse width modulation, D-Q reference frame theory.

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

This paper introduces a new concept of optimal utilization of a Unified power quality conditioner (UPQC).
The series inverter of UPQC is controlled to perform simultaneous Methods: voltage sag/swell compensation
and load reactive power sharing with the shunt inverter. The active power control approach is used to
compensate voltage sag/swell and is integrated with theory of power angle control (PAC) of UPQC to
coordinate the load reactive power between the two inverters. MATLAB/SIMULINK-based simulation results
are discussed to support the developed concept. Finally, the proposed UPQC concept is validated.
Mitigation of the Harmonics under Reactive Power Compensation by SHPF-TCR Usi...IJERA Editor
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.

Enhancement of power quality using microprocessor based shunt active power fi...IJECEIAES
Power quality is the most significant factor of power sector. The end user equipment such as induction motor, inverters, rectifiers inject harmonics into power system that influences the quality of power delivered. The presence of harmonics forces the use of instantaneous reactive power theory to calculate instantaneous power that helps in finding the compensating currents to eliminate harmonics. The control action required by active filter is accomplished by STM32F303RET6 microcontroller. Single phase induction motor is used as a dynamic nonlinear load in one of the three phases and resistive loads on the other two phases. TRIAC based RC triggering circuit was used to control the single phase induction motor. This paper presents the simulation and hardware implementation of shunt active power filter for 3 phase 4 wire unbalanced system. The hardware results show that THD in the source side has been reduced from 50.7% to 9.6% by implementing the SAPF.
Power Quality Improvement by UPQC based on Voltage Source ConvertersIJRST Journal
In modern power system consists of wide range of electrical, electronic and power electronic equipment in commercial and industrial applications. Since most of the electronic equipment’s are nonlinear in nature these will induce harmonics in the system, which affect the sensitive loads to be fed from the system. These problems are partially solved with the help of LC passive filters. However, this kind of filter cannot solve random variation in the load current wave form and voltage wave form. Active filters can resolve this problem. However, the cost of active filters is high. They are difficult to implement in large scale. Additionally, they also present lower efficiency than shunt passive filters. One of the many solutions is the use of a combined system of shunt and active series filters like Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) which aims at achieving a low cost under highly effective control. The UPQC device combines a shunt active filter together with a series active filter in a back-to-back configuration, to simultaneously compensate the supply voltage and the load current or to mitigate any type of voltage and current fluctuations and power factor correction in a power distribution network, such that improved power quality can be made available at the point of common coupling. The control strategies are modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The performance is also observed under influence of utility side disturbances such as harmonics and voltage sags. The simulation results are compared without and with UPQC for the verification of results.
The quality of power is a major concern because of harmonics in the lines due to various sources. Passive filters have been used to eliminate the specific harmonics. In this paper shunt hybrid active power filter which consists of shunt active filter and shunt passive filter is designed to reduce harmonics in source side for non linear loads. The shunt passive filter includes a tuned RLC circuit that behaves like a band-pass filter for a particular harmonic content. The shunt active filter is a VSI that produces reverse harmonic current based on Clarke’s transformation. This paper presents the control strategy by implementing instantaneous reactive power theory to design Shunt Hybrid Active Filter (SHAPF) for a non linear load. The proposed control technique is simulated using MATLAB SIMULINK, Results prove there is considerable reduction in THD of source current from 30.35% to 3.25% with the proposed controller on shunt hybrid active power filter. The performance of SHAPF is better than Passive and Shunt Active Power Filters.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Abstract— Electric power becomes one of the most essential
things in today’s world. Maintaining a quality power supply is
an important potential problems to the power Engineers. All the
primary and secondary distribution systems use three-phase
four-wire systems (3P4W) to provide the electric supply to the
consumer. Many single phase loads are connected to the
three-phase four-wire system which leads to the system
unbalance. Since all the loads connected the 3P4W system is not
same. Due to improvement in power electronic technology, a lot
of power devices are used in the industrial and commercial
applications. These types of converters have non-linear
characteristics and create a flow of harmonic component in
lines. Due to this effect, load voltages, load currents and the
neutral current waveform due to unbalance gets distorted. If
this component is not mitigated, then it affects the performance
of the overall system. In this project, the above effects are
mitigated by Fuzzy Hysteresis Controller based series active
filter in the phase conductor. By single installation of the filter,
load voltage becomes nearly sinusoidal and the distortion in the
load and neutral current is reduced significantly. In this project,
MATLAB/Simulink model is used to verify the proposed
method.

I. INTRODUCTION
Electric power becomes a most basic need in our day-to-day
life. Electric utilities aim is to provide a consumer with
uninterrupted sinusoidal voltage of constant magnitude.
However this is becoming increasingly difficult to do,
because the size and number of non-linear and poor power
factor loads such as adjustable speed drives, computer power
supplies, Furnaces and traction drives are increasing rapidly.
Due to their non-linear nature these solid state converters
generates harmonics in current and voltage waveforms and it
also cause excessive neutral currents in three phase four wire
distribution systems.
Power quality in ac three-phase systems could be analyzed
by; Voltage distortion, Voltage sags, Voltage swells, partial
or total loss of one or more phases.
A major cause of voltage unbalances is the uneven
distribution of single-phase loads, which may be continuously
changing across a three phase power system. Additional
causes of power system voltage unbalances can be

asymmetrical transformer winding impedances, open wye and
open delta transformer banks, and asymmetrical transmission
impedances.
Voltage distortion causes a lot of ill effects on induction
motors. The adverse effects of voltage distortion in induction
motors are overheating, line-current unbalance, derating,
torque pulsation, and inefficiency. The overheating leads to
winding insulation degradation.
Under normal operating conditions with reasonably
unbalanced load, the current in the neutral is expected to be
20% of the normal phase currents. These neutral currents are
fundamentally third harmonics and odd multiples of 3rd
due to
non-linearity of loads.
Due to the presence of non-linear loads, Harmonics are
injected to a line and the other loads connected to a Point of
Common Coupling (PCC) also affected by harmonics. The
poor power quality can degrade or damage the electrical
equipment connected to the system.
These harmonics can be eliminated by using Passive filters
(Combination of L and C). These types of filters have
disadvantages of series resonance, parallel resonance, tuning
of passive elements is difficult, etc. Recently, harmonics
suppression facilities based on Power Electronics techniques
have proved to be important. This harmonics suppression can
be done with the help of new emerging ACTIVE POWER
FILTERS.
Active filters have the more advantages than the passive
filters. It uses the amplifying elements such as op amp,
transistors, etc. And also it gains power during processing.
The design of passive filter is easier when compared to the
passive filter. It eliminates the inductor and the problem
related to the inductor is also eliminated the cost gets reduced
than passive filter. Active filters are of two type’s series active
and shunt active filter.
In this paper Series Active Filters (SAF) is connected in
series with the phases to reduce the load voltage harmonics
and load current harmonics in the phase and the current
harmonics in the neutral. Load current distortion can also be
reduced by placing Series Active Filter (SAF) in series with
the phase conductor.
II. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Fig 1 shows the block diagram of series active filter system,
it consists of a three-phase source, which is connected to a
non-linear load.
The Series Active Power Filter is connected in series with
the phases. It consists of the voltage source inverter (VSI) and
the dc charging capacitor is used as source for voltage source
inverter and it is coupled with the transmission line with the
coupling transformer. The series active filter acts as a
harmonic isolator between the supply and the load. The

triggering for the inverter circuit is given through the control
circuit. The inverter can be implemented by IGBTs operating
with the fuzzy hysteresis controller for the filtering function.
Fig 1: Block Diagram
Fig 1: Block Diagram
III. WORKING PRINCIPLE
The three phase source voltage is given to non-linear loads
which consists of three phase diode rectifier with parallel RC
loads in order to make the system as load unbalance, an excess
non-linear load of single phase rectifier with parallel RC load
is connected in phase B. Due to the non-linear characteristics
of load, the load voltage and load current get distorted. Since
the loads are non-linear and unbalanced an excess current
flows in the neutral conductor.
In order to overcome the above effects, series active filter is
connected in series with the phase conductor through the
coupling transformer. The series active filter consists of IGBT
based inverter with dc charging capacitor. The three phase
load voltage and load currents are sensed and given to the
controller circuit.
In order to extract the fundamental component of voltage
and current synchronous reference frame theory is used. The
extracted value is compared with actual value to get the error
signal, which is given as input to the fuzzy hysteresis
controller. Fuzzy hysteresis controller produces the gating
signal to the IGBT inverter, which in turn inject the harmonic
content into phase in anti-direction. Thus the harmonic
content of load voltage and load current gets reduced. Due to
this effect the harmonic content in the neutral current is also
reduced significantly.
IV. .SYNCHRONOUS REFERENCE FRAME WITH PLL
The synchronous reference frame theory is used to extract
the fundamental component in the supply voltage or current.
It is based on the transformation of the currents or voltages in
synchronously rotating d-q frame. Fig. explains the basic
building blocks of the theory. If θ is the transformation angle,
then the currents transformation from α-β to d-q is defined as
in the Fig 2.
The 3-Phase load currents of system i.e. VLA, VLB, VLC of
stationary reference system in a-b-c coordinates are
transformed to two phase system with α-β coordinates, this
can be done by algebraic transformation, known as ―Clark’s
Fig 2: Block diagram of SRF
transformation, which also produces a stationary reference
system, again these Voltages are transformed to
synchronously rotating reference frame by Park’s
transformation. The voltage templates (sine and cosine) are
generated using phase locked loop (PLL). The sine and cose
function is to maintain the synchronization with the supply
voltage and current and then we calculate Vd, Vq the which are
passed through LPF which filter out the harmonics in voltage
signals and again these two phase voltages in rotating
reference frame are transformed to two phase stationary
reference frame using reverse park’s transformation and then
transformed to three phase coordinates which are called as the
reference voltage signals.
= (1)
SRF isolator extracts the dc component by low pass filters
(LPF) for each Vd and Vq realized by moving averager at
100Hz. The extracted DC components Vddc and Vqdc are
transformed back into α-β frame as shown below:
= (2)
From here the transformation can be made to obtain three
phase reference Voltages in a-b-c coordinates using Reverse
Park’s transformation and Clark’s transformation. The
transformation angle is generated by using the PLL. The
output of the PLL is given to the SRF and the reference signal
is generated.

The generated reference signal is compared with the actual
signal and the error signal is generated. The error signal is
given as the input to the fuzzy controller.
Fig 4: Reference Signal
V. FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER
The fuzzy control algorithm is implemented to control the
load phase voltage based on processing of the voltage error
e(t) and its variation Δe (t) in order to improve the dynamic of
SAF.
The main advantages of fuzzy control are its linguistic
description, independence of mathematical model,
robustness, and its universal approximation. A fuzzy logic
controller is consisting of four stages: fuzzification,
knowledge base, inference mechanism and defuzzification.
Fig. 5: Fuzzy Logic Controller Structure Block Diagram
The knowledge base is composed of a data base and rule
base and is designed to obtain good dynamic response under
uncertainty in process parameters and external disturbances
.The data base consisting of input and output membership
functions, provides information for the appropriate
fuzzification operations, the inference mechanism and
defuzzification. The inference mechanism uses a collection of
linguistic rules to convert the input conditions into a fuzzified
Output. Finally, defuzzification is used to convert the fuzzy
outputs into control signals. In designing of a fuzzy control
system, the formulation of its rule set plays a key role in
improvement of the system performance
The mamdani type fuzzy logic controller is used;the
max-min inference method is applied in this study.

VII. RESULTS OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
WITHOUT FILTER AND WITH FILTER
The three phase voltage source is given as input to the
distribution transformer. Single phase RC load and three
phase RC load is considered as the system load. The value of
resistance and capacitance in single phase load is R=5Ω, C
=1500uF.
Fig 10: Voltage waveform without filter
value of resistance and capacitance in three phase load is
R=15Ω, C=1500uF .The unbalanced condition is achieved by
connecting the single phase load to the phase B and the
Neutral. Because of this condition there will be a flow of
current in the neutral conductor consisting of both harmonic
and fundamental component.
Due to variation in the values of load, the magnitude in
each phase will vary and the neutral current harmonics will be
high. The simulation output for load voltage in unbalanced
condition is shown in Fig 10 and load current and neutral
current in Fig 11. .

filter
The series active filter is installed in the phases and the
results are obtained and shown below in Fig 12 and Fig 13.
From the figure given below we can observe that the
harmonic distortion in all three phases is reduced and neutral
conductor current is also reduced while fundamental
component remains unaffected. The harmonic content has
been suppressed to a great value.

The THD values without filter and with filter are compared
and the bar chart is made. It shows that the THD values with
filter get reduced efficiently.

VIII. CONCLUSION
The paper has outlined the design of controller for series
active power filters. The observed performance of the SAF
has demonstrated the ability of the proposed control
technique to compensate the Load voltage, Load current and
Neutral current harmonics and reduce harmonic distortion at
PCC, The indirect current control scheme is used to reduce
the Load current harmonics The scheme has the advantage of
simplicity and effectiveness and it is equivalent to the
performance of Unified Power Quality Conditioner.
In this study, a fuzzy controller with fast response to
regulate distorted load voltage, load current and neutral
current in three-phase system is presented and analyzed. The
simulation results show a very good performance of the
proposed algorithm and control scheme under arbitrary fault
conditions of the utility supply.
It has been observed that the system has a fast dynamic
response with the proposed control scheme and is able to keep
the THD of the voltage and current within the limits of IEEE
519 standard.
