Wk. Chang et al., MEETING IEEE-519 HARMONIC VOLTAGE AND VOLTAGE DISTORTION CONSTRAINTS WITH AN ACTIVE POWER-LINE CONDITIONER, IEEE transactions on power delivery, 9(3), 1994, pp. 1531-1537
This paper addresses the use of an active power line conditioner (APLC
) for holding voltage harmonics and voltage distortion within IEEE-519
guidelines at a set of power system busses. The following two related
problems are solved: 1) what size APLC is needed to meet IEEE-519 vol
tage constraints at each bus? and 2) where should an APLC be placed fo
r maximum performance? Straightforward techniques for finding optimal
or near-optimal solutions to these problems are presented, and an exam
ple is used to illustrate the solution procedure.
