Artificial Neural Network Based SVC Switching At Distribution System for Minimal Injected Harmonics
Abstract: Electrical distribution system grieves from various problems like reactive power burden, unbalanced loading, voltage regulation and harmonic distortion. However DSTATCOMS are ideal solutions for such systems, they are not popular because of the cost and complexity of control involved. Phase wise balanced reactive power compensations are essential for fast changing loads needing dynamic power factor correcting devices leading to terminal voltage stabilization. Static Var Compensators (SVCs) remain ideal choice for …
