Abstract
"Mitigation of Power Quality Issues Associated with Grid-Integrated Power Systems" aims to deal with issues related to power quality that occur when integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind into the electrical grid. Numerous power quality issues, such as voltage swings, harmonics, flicker, and reactive power imbalances, may appear as the use of renewable energy rises. These problems may result in system inefficiency, device malfunction, and interruptions in consumer power supply.This study suggests a complete strategy that incorporates sophisticated control tactics, grid management methods, and the usage of power electronic devices to alleviate these power quality problems. Voltage and frequency are actively monitored and regulated as part of the control procedures, and harmonic distortion is minimized using filtering methods. Techniques for managing grids include improved coordination to reduce voltage fluctuations and reactive power imbalances, power electronic equipment like STATCOMs (Static Synchronous Compensators), FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems), and DVRs (Dynamic Voltage Restorers) are used. For a reliable and high-quality power supply to consumers, these devices offer quick voltage support, reactive power adjustment, and voltage restoration capabilities.The suggested method also highlights the significance of cutting-edge control and communication technologies, which enable real-time monitoring and coordination among diverse power system components. This makes it possible to regulate power flows effectively, find faults quickly, and address power quality problems quickly.
