ABSTRACT
Now a days with the advancement of technology, the demand for electrical power
is increasing at an exponential rate. Many consumer appliances demand high quality of
power for their continuous operation. The performance of the end user equipment is heavily
dependent on the quality of power supplied to it. But the quality of power delivered to the
end user is affected by various faults, outages etc. These power quality problems reduces
the life time and efficiency of the equipment. Thus, to enhance the performance of the
consumer equipment and also the overall performance of the system, these problems have
to be mitigated. In this Project, we have majorly concentrated on a single-phase distributed
power generation (DPG) system while considering the voltage and current harmonics
compensation capabilities. The main idea is to integrate the DPG power generating
functions with the hybrid power filter (HPF) harmonic mitigation capabilities. The analysis
of characteristics of different HPF configurations has been carried out. The configured
scheme independently controls the distribution system harmonic currents and fundamental
current. The filter`s parameters are made with respect to the grid frequency fluctuations.
PSIM Software toolbox is used to simulate the proposed different configured system. The
described simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
