Abstract

The total requirement for sustainable energy provisions will have increasing important over the years. As the effects of fossil fuels become more apparent and detrimental. Distributed Generation (DG) based scheme on Renewable Energy Technologies (solar, wind, hydro and biomass) are becoming a more important energy option for the future generation system. A common challenge faced by modern electric utilities is to determine how variable generation plants (wind and solar) affect the power system and consequently on the power quality and thus adversely affecting the reliable operation of the electric grid. This paper throws light on how SVCs can be used to improve the power quality (i.e.) related to non-standard voltage, current and frequency at the consumer side which make the system more reliable.
