The increasing use of grid connected power electronic systems generates a set of interference phenomena between those devices and distribution grids. Power electronic systems are both sensitive to voltage disturbances and sources of disturbances, such as current harmonic distortion, voltages unbalance and flicker. Such phenomena motivated the study of a system named Open Unified Power Quality Conditioner, based on power electronic converters, used for the improvement of the Power Quality level in low voltage distribution grids. The study, mainly theoretical, has addressed the issue of compensators coordination under different operating conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
