Review on Microgrid Power Quality Improvement Using Active Power Conditioner

Abstract

This paper discusses power system power quality issues and possible remedies using power electronics. Several worldwide standards for power quality control are briefly discussed, as well as some significant methods for analysis. Non-sinusoidal waveforms are introduced and assessed in an electrical circuit. The compensatory features and principles of operation of passive filters, shunt, hybrid, and series active power filters are presented. For each type of power filter, the topologies and control schemes of various power circuits are examined. Simulation and experiment are used to prove the compensating features of each topology with its corresponding control scheme. Harmonic current, power factor, and load unbalance can all be compensated for by the filter. Harmonic current, power factor, and load unbalance can all be compensated for by the filter. A power filter that has been employed there continuously monitors the load current and adapts to changes in load harmonics.
