Modelling and Economic Assessment of Multiple Power Electronic Based Compensators Allocation in Active Power Distribution Networks

Abstract

The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into distribution networks has been increased due to government policies promoting renewable energy schemes. However, this increased integration presents challenges, such as over-voltage, current harmonics, and voltage instability. The thesis explores the strategic placement of power electronic (PE) based compensators in PV-rich power distribution networks to address these issues and enhance overall system performance.
