It is not possible to connect power semiconductor switch directly at medium and high voltage level. This introduced a new unit of inverters as a result of applying higher voltage levels, which can be called as multilevel inverters. Multilevel inverters are synthesizing close to sinusoidal voltage from some levels of DC voltages. Multilevel inverters synthesize the stair – case voltage waveform with some lower harmonic content. The output voltages from inverters have reduced harmonic distortions and good quality of waveforms. Because when used this inverter THD content in voltage waveform is very significant it affects the performance of load. This article deals with study and analysis of a single phase multilevel inverter with various levels. By using Matlab different multilevel inverter models are simulated and get an output voltage waveform and THD.

Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the greatest multipurpose Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) scheme due to its capacity to control real and reactive power on transmission lines and adjusting the voltage of the bus to which it is attached. It is compulsory to analyze its effect of UPFC on power system network when the fault occurs in the power system and therefore whole system goes to severe transients. By using PSS and AVR we can simply stabilize the system. FACTS devices like TCSC, SVC, STATCOM, and UPFC are important device to suppress the power system oscillations under faults occurrence and enhance the damping of the system. The power electronic devicetermed as UPFC which efficiently control the active and reactive power. To carry out small signal stability analysis with the proposed method, a SMIB linear model of Philip-Heffron model, a recognized model for synchronous generator has been employed. Recent past has witnessed the advancements of Power System Stabilizers (PSS) and their variants for enhancing the stability of power system. But the added advantages of FACTS based design outperformed PSS in terms of performance and implementation perspective. The simulation results show that PSS and FL based PSS improves the stability of the SMIB scheme and power system fluctuations are successfully damped out. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) has various applications together with loop flow control, power flow control load sharing among parallel passages, modification of system oscillations, and voltage (reactive power) regulation and development of transient stability. In this thesis, MATLAB simulation package is employed to simulate the UPFC model. A fuzzy logic controller as power system stabilizer is used Power system stabilizers (PSSs) is additional to excitation scheme or controller loop of the generating unit to improve the damping through low frequency oscillations. A three phase fault is considered. The studies are carried out with and without fault consideration in SMIB system. SMIB system with and without UPFC controller is proposed and comparisons are made to show the effectiveness of UPFC controller for the enhancement of transient stability of SMIB system

Reliability evaluation has been broadly used for power system planning and operations [1], since they are capable of incorporating various system uncertainties such as equipment failures as well as random variations in generation capacity or load demand. Meanwhile, power systems are becoming more complicated, which leads to highly nonlinear problems in their reliability evaluation. The purpose of assigning the reliability of a composite power system is to estimate the ability of the system to perform its function of transporting the energy provided to the bulk supply points. This paper gives an introduction to reliability evaluation of composite power system. The paper also includes a description of reliability evaluation parameters at different levels and different methods for reliability evaluation of a power system.

This paper presents modeling and simulation of multi-pulse converter topologies. In this paper multi-pulse converter are developed for improving power quality, to reduce harmonics in ac main, and ripple in dc output. The simulation of 12 pulses, 18 pulses, 24 pulses and 48 pulses MPC is performed on MATLAB Simulink. The ripple factor and form factor are calculated for all the above mentioned multi pulse converters. The primary winding of the transformers are connected in zigzag, while the secondary windings of the transformer are connected in series to the converter. By choosing appropriate phase shift between the primary and secondary sides of the transformer and synchronously switching the three-phase bridges at specified phase relations, lower order harmonica can be eliminated in pair. Thus a very high power quality voltage waveform can be synthesized using low switching frequencies

Induction motor drive draws heavy current during starting condition. The current is 4 to 7 times of rated current, if this current present in the motor for large time period not only it can damage insulation but conductors too. If this transient period for achieving rated speed is large it can causes above problems. The equipment which reduces the transient time of induction motor is controlled operation of Voltage Source Inverter but using this one; introduces harmonics in the machine and in system. These harmonics can cause overheating of the motor and supply system result in reduction in overall life span of motor, reduced efficiency, poor performance and unwanted failure of drive system causes economic Burdon on organization in form of less production. To solve these issues an attempt is made to make a comparative study on various open loop and close loop drive including PI controller & Fuzzy Logic controller for determination of their advantages and limitations for any particular operation of drive.

Electric power utilities have launched comprehensive data collection programs to evaluate the Power Quality (PQ) problems in their systems. A machine learning based classification and characterization of the power system data will help in dealing with the voluminous quantities of the monitored data. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based machine learning approach is developed for classifying the PQ disturbances in a power system. This paper illustrates how a pattern recognition neural network can classify power quality events on the voltage data at a 132 kV bus obtained from Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited. Important measure of neural network performance is its ability to generalize, i.e. to respond properly to new data after training. It is tested on a set of new data through important performance measures like Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), correlation coefficient, regression analysis, error histogram, confusion matrix and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) of the neural network. The results obtained demonstrate the power of ANN in classifying the commonly encountered disturbances in power system like sags, swells and interruptions.
