Power Quality and Facts
Bachelor of Engineering
Subject Code: 3170921
Semester – VII
Subject Name: Power Quality and FACTS
Rationale:
Electrical Power systems are heavily loaded because of the increase in the demand and restructured power
system operation. The technical solution of utilizing available power system structure to deliver more power
is using the power electronics devices in power systems for reactive power compensation and HVDC. The
other uses of power electronics devices in the distribution and at consumer levels are also inevitable. The
more and more use of power electronics devices in the power systems at every stage increases the problem
of power quality. The course is aimed to provide exposure about power quality; the commonly used power
electronics based compensating devices, its impact on Power Quality and various power quality mitigation
techniques.
