Power Quality Issues and Control: As per the deregulated market customer needs the good quality of power,

reliable and secure. At distribution level all the loads are nonlinear such as ASD, Computer power appliences, power electronic based all the devices. These devices are responsible for generation of harmonic, voltage interruption, poor voltage regulation and decreses in voltage quality. Classical Models to improves the voltage profile: 1. 2. 3. 4. Tap Changing of Transformer Using Capacitor or capacotor bank for power factor correction Using synchronous condensor 4.Phase Advancer

Last 5 decades there is tremendouslydevelopment in power electonic devices to improves the quality of the systems. FACTS, HVDC and Custom Power Devices are the applications of Power Electronic.
