“…The additional concept of segregating the total load into critical and non-critical loads [1] allows the system designer to bridge the gap between APF and UPS functional capabilities. Introducing a modest energy storage component into the system allows for the critical load to be protected against short-term supply interruption at low additional cost to the system.…”

“…Like the design presented in [1], this new device uses both shunt and series APFs; however, instead of a UPS the device utilises the inherent advantages of high transition temperature Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) technology. The superconducting coil of the SMES is wound using High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) tape and does not require maintenance.…”

Abstract-With power systems subject to an ever-increasing variety of load types, power quality remains of concern to both utilities and consumers alike. Some of the most concerning issues to users of sensitive equipment include voltage sags, supply interruption and current harmonics. This paper describes a comprehensive power quality device that can be designed to compensate for harmonic load currents and mains voltage variations in a system, as well as providing mains failure backup for smaller critical system loads. The design process described integrates high capacity high temperature Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) technology with Active Power Filter (APF) switching technology ySMES devices to suit critical load power requirements in a system and the complete design philosophy that maximises the usefulness of the whole power conditioning system are both discussed in the paper.

“…The performance of equipment which is sensitive to voltage unbalance such as induction motors can be deteriorated. Conventionally, series active power filter can be a solution for compensating unbalances by adding negative sequence voltage in series with the distribution line [3]- [5]. In some works shunt active filters are used to inject negative sequence current to balance the current in the distribution lines and consequently compensate unbalances [6]- [8].…”

, "Tertiary control of voltage unbalance compensation for optimal power quality in islanded microgrids," IEEE Trans. Energy Conv., 2014, IEEE Early access. Abstract-In multi-bus islanded microgrids, the power quality requirements for different areas and buses can be different. This paper proposes a hierarchical control to realize optimal unbalance compensation for satisfying the power quality requirements in different areas. Primary and secondary controllers are applied to realize unbalance compensation for critical bus (CB) and at the same time, to make distributed generators (DGs) equally share the compensation efforts. Tertiary control, which inherently is an optimization method, is implemented to adjust the compensating effort of each DG considering the voltage unbalance limits in local buses and DG terminals. This method realizes multi-power-quality-level control in a multi-bus islanded system by optimally utilizing DGs as distributed compensators and saves the investment for additional compensation equipment. VUFUpper limits of VUF value on LB or DG sides.
