Overview of an extended Custom Power Park

The increasing concern about the quality and reliability of electric power has increased in continued growth in the application of custom power (CP) devices. The integration of multiple CP devices in an industrial/commercial park is called as custom power park (CPP). The proposed park is superior to the conventional CPP because the park improves both the current and voltage quality of linear and nonlinear loads using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), active power filter (APF), static transfer switch (STS) and backup generator. This paper presents the simulation results of an extended CPP using PSCAD simulation package and the operation of the CPP control center in detail.
