CONCLUSIONS
Power quality is a very significant term that embraces every aspects linked with
amplitude, phase, frequency of the voltage and current waveform existing in a power circuit.
Any power quality problem manifested in voltage, current or frequency deviation that results
in failure of the customer equipment is known as power quality problem. The growing
number of power electronics based apparatus has produced a major impact on the quality of
electric power supply. The lack of quality in power supply may cause loss of production,
damage of equipment or appliances, increased power losses and interference with
communication lines. Therefore, it is obviously maintain high standards of power quality.
In recent years, Power engineers are increasingly concerned over the quality of
the electrical power. The modern power system consists of wide range of electrical,
electronic and power electronic equipment in commercial and industrial applications. Since
most of the electronic equipments performances are non-linear in nature, these will induce
harmonics in the system, which affect the sensitive loads. One among the many
compensating devices is Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) which specifically aims
at the integration of series-active and shunt-active power filters to mitigate any type of
voltage and current fluctuations and power factor correction in a power system network, such
that improved power quality can be made available at the point of common coupling.
The main research presented in this thesis work has been described that the development
of methodologies and associated procedure for improvement in the power quality (PQ)
Enhancement of the system through UPQC with the Bias Voltage Generator. A broad
discussion is specified in this thesis, how the PQ data from a typical power quality
monitoring system are converted into useful information that would be beneficial to utilities,
regulators and customers.
The literature review discussed in Chapter 2 suggests that there has been many studies

The Chapter 4 discusses about the implementation of the NFC and ANFIS techniques
for detecting and mitigating the voltage sag problems and the Results are concluded as
follows.
133
proposed controller can achieve a better performance of PQ issues compared with the FLC,
NFC and NN based controllers.
The Chapter 5 discusses about the implementation of the NFC and ABC Algorithm
technique for detecting and mitigating the voltage sag problems and the Results are
concluded as follows.
The Chapter 6 discusses about the implementation of the NFC and Modified CS
Algorithm technique for detecting and mitigating the voltage sag problems and the Results
were concluded as follows.
134
The proposed controller compensated the PQ problem in less time, when compared to
the existing methods. Also, the PQ problem occurrences are defined with the different time
instants (T=0.05, 0.19, 0.11, 0.04, 0.17 sec), the performance deviations were evaluated in the
proposed controller with the ABC, ANFIS, NFC, NN and FLC techniques. The proposed
technique achieves a positive rate in solving all the defined instants of occurrences of PQ
issues. The comparative results showed that the proposed controller can achieve a better
performance of PQ issues compared with the ABC, ANFIS, NN, FLC and NFC based
controllers.
The following improvements have been achieved through this Research work.

FUTURE SCOPE
There are several important points which need to be investigated but could not
be included in the scope of this research work. Thus, during this research, the following
issues have been identified as possible topics of work in future in this area:
The different control techniques like Phase Opposition Disposition, Alternate Phase O
pposition Disposition, Third Harmonic injection Pulse Width Modulation and Sine
Width Modulation with five level cascaded multilevel inverters are simulated and
compared for reduction of harmonics levels.
The control technique for multilevel power converters can be further simplified into
different levels, other class of power converters and inverters.
The levels of multilevel configuration can be increased and further improvements in
terms of performance for power quality issues can be broadly studied and could be
implemented with hardware circuits.
The same logic can be implemented for enhancing the other power quality problems
with bat algorithm, firefly algorithm, PSO algorithm etc...Need to conduct PQ Audits at
Multiple Information Levels using the PQ Investigator, improvement in Voltage
Regulation with Active PV Inverters etc.
Next-Generation Power Quality Database Management and Analysis System have to
be sustain for the purpose of analysis.
Capacity improvement and operation elasticity are two vital important limitations of
the centralized UPQC unit when located in a DG integrated network.
