Overview and definition of power quality (PQ), Sources of pollution, International power quality standards, and regulations. Power quality monitoring. Power quality problems. Loads which causes power quality problems.|Power factor correction, zero voltage regulation, reactive power compensation, load balancing using load compensation techniques: passive shunt and series compensation, DSTATCOM (Distribution Static Compensators), DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorers), UPQC (Universal Power Quality Conditioners). |Harmonic effects-within the power system, interference with communication Harmonic measurements. Harmonic elimination-using active (shunt, series and hybrid) and passive (shunt and series) filters. |Improved power quality converters: single ac-dc converters, bridgeless isolated converter, bridgeless non-isolated converters, multi-pulse converters, multilevel converters, line commutated converters, power quality improvement in SMPS, UPS, drives, welding systems, lighting systems, and renewable energy systems.
