Strategy for power quality improvement and maximum demand smoothing

Abstract: In this paper, a distributed strategy for improving the power quality and maximum demand smoothing is presented. Many authors have presented the power quality improvement as a centralized issue, which implies high power capability of compensators. Based on multi-functionality of specific switching-mode converters, a decentralised model is presented. A discussion of simultaneity of different functions is presented in details. The results of this paper are intended to be a guideline for application designer
