Abstract

In an advanced electrical power system, a wide range of loads used by industrial, domestic, irrigation, traction loads, commercial applications, advanced machinery of different electrical drives, control systems, and proliferation of different electronic gadgets day to day life, road, rail transport systems etc., have a greater impact on power quality. Another power quality issue is due to lesser power generating capacity of existing conventional resources and the combined operation of non-conventional energy resources into the power systems as hybrid electrical power generating systems. In this paper to decrease the gap between electrical power generation and demand added proton exchange membrane fuel cell as a hybrid electrical power system and addressed different power quality issues arise in power systems due to different loading conditions, impact of the tower shadowing effect of wind energy system in a weak grid system. A power electronics device: UPQC build up with instantaneous power theory to address these power quality issues within international standards.
