Electrical power quality problem : a key issues, challenges and opportunities

Abstract EN

This paper presents a survey on key issue, challenges and opportunities of power quality problems (PQ) such as transients, instantaneous (interruption, swell & sag), long duration variations (interruption, under voltage, over voltage), harmonics, voltage unbalance, voltage fluctuation, power frequency variations, power factor of system, and waveform distortion such as current and voltage in the system.

The PQ problems solved by varies FACTS controllers such as series FACTS (TCSC, TCPAR, SSSC), shunt FACTS (SVC, STATCOM, D-STATCOM), seriesseries FACTS (IPFC, GIPFC), and series-shunt FACTS (UPFC, GUPFC, HPFC) controllers.

Authors strongly believe that this survey article will be very much useful to the researchers, scientific, engineers and industrial persons for finding out the relevant references in the field of PQ problems in power system networks and its solution by FACTS controllers.
