Voltage Sag and Distortion Mitigation in a Hybrid Power System Using FACTs Device

Firoz Sarkar | R. Ramya ^[8]

Abstract: Power quality enhancement is only possible by mitigating power quality problems and main power quality problems are voltage sag and distortion. This paper represents basic power quality problems as Voltage distortion, Harmonics and voltage sag in a wind and solar based hybrid power system. Because of power quality problems are everywhere, it should be mitigate for better power quality. Voltage sag is the most common power quality problem in power system. If we consider a hybrid power system power quality problems is always there. In a wind and solar hybrid power system the most common power quality problems is voltage distortion, harmonics and voltage sag. In this paper is shows that how to mitigate the power quality problems by using FACTs device static synchronous generator and active filter. This will help to connect more numbers and different types of power system connected to grid with better power quality. Another PV system is used as source of STATCOM for better usage of non-conventional resource.
