Distribution network performance improvement using load compensation by Ojo, Alaba

“…In addition, in the recent years, the use of power electronic-based devices/equipment in both industrial, commercial and residential sectors due to advancements in technology and the need for energy efficiency measures has increased the power quality problem. Such loads include Adjustable speed drives (ASD), High voltage Direct current (HVDC) system, traction systems, electric arc furnace, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), heating, ventilation and Air conditioning (HVAC) and loads with switch-mode power supplies. …”
