Power Quality Enhancement Using Custom Power De... May 2026

Custom power devices are broadly categorized into two types based on their function in the distribution network: Device Examples Primary Function

Active filtering, load balancing, and voltage regulation (sag/swell). Major Compensating Devices 1. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) power quality enhancement using custom power de...

The UPQC is considered the most powerful CPD as it combines both converters via a common DC link. Custom power devices are broadly categorized into two

are a new generation of power electronic controllers designed for medium to low voltage levels (typically 1 KV through 32 KV) to ensure high-quality power delivery. Unlike Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) which focus on high-voltage transmission, CPDs are specifically applied at the distribution level to protect sensitive consumer equipment. Classification of Custom Power Devices are a new generation of power electronic controllers

Available with or without energy storage; storage-based models use batteries or capacitors to provide the necessary active power for compensation. 2. Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM)
