Abstract :
A new control algorithm for a power converter-based device that is capable of alleviating the problems of harmonic interference and voltage regulation on radial distribution lines is introduced. It comprises a relocatable converter in series with a passive filter and is known as the Power Quality Manager. Simulation results based on an existing 88-kV line are presented. Experimental results are presented, based on a three-phase 200-VA scaled model of the existing 88-kV system. It is a cost-effective and flexible solution to improving power quality
