POWER QUALITY CONDITIONER

Presented by
Introduction
In recent years increase of Non-linear loads results in

degrade of the quality of electric power supply of the

distribution system.
Power Quality- refer to delivery of sufficiently high

grade electric service.

Power Quality Problems
The power quality problems are classified into

Voltage related PQ problems

Voltage sag, swell, flicker, interrupt ,fluctuation, black

out and voltage harmonic distortion.
Current related PQ Problems

Current Harmonic distortion, reactive power

consumption and lagging power factor
Effects Power Quality Problems
Mal-operation of controlled devices
Additional losses in transformers and in rotating
machines
Insulation failure
Excessive heating of machines,
Electro-magnetic interference(EMI)
Reduced life time of the equipment
Unwanted resonance
Decreasing in performance of the equipment
Custom Power Device
A device used to solve power quality problems in a power
distribution system.
Classification:
Series Active Power Filter
Solve Voltage related PQ problems but fail to compensated
current related PQ problems
Shunt Active Power Filter
Solve Current related PQ problems but fail to compensated
Voltage related PQ problems
Unified Power Quality Conditioner
Solve both Voltage and Current PQ problems.
