Abstract :
In this paper, series and parallel compensators of STATCOM and DVR are introduced and the comparison of these two in compensating of power quality phenomena from electric arc furnace is provided. STATCOM is a shunt active filter and DVR is a series active filter. Method which has been selected for control of every one of these devices is an optimal control way that it minimizes power losses.
