Multi-Objective Planning for Reactive Power Compensation of Radial Distribution Networks With Unified Power Quality Conditioner Allocation Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Multi-Objective Planning for Reactive Power Compensation of Radial Distribution Networks With Unified Power Quality Conditioner Allocation Using Particle Swarm Optimization Abstract: This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based multi-objective planning algorithm for reactive power compensation of radial distribution networks with unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) allocation. A UPQC consists of a series and a […]


Medium-Voltage 12-Pulse Converter Output Voltage Harmonic Compensation Using a Series APFs

Medium-Voltage 12-Pulse Converter: Output Voltage Harmonic Compensation Using a Series APF Abstract: In this paper, compensation of the dc-side voltage harmonics of a medium-voltage (MV) 12-pulse ac/dc converter is achieved using a series active power filter (APF). The output voltage harmonics are dependent on the converter firing delay angles and, consequently, on the specific power […]
