Compensation technique and power quality improvement in multiphase distribution system

摘要

The degradation in power quality is an important issue in these days drawing attention of industry also. Multiphase distribution systems are better solution as compared to single and three phase systems due to so inherent advantage as loads are split over multiple phases. As most of the loads in real life are inductive in nature, reactive power is generated and thus requires compensation. In this paper compensation has been done in six phase using modification in theories used for three phase systems. Results are obtained for resistive inductive load and case of unbalanced system is also considered. Simulation model is developed in MATLAB / Simulink environment.
