Abstract

The main concerns with electrical distribution networks are the degradation of power quality. The main culprit behind this problem is non-linear technology, specifically switching devices and power electronics converters. Power supply efficiency, system efficacy, power factor loss, etc. Are all adversely impacted by non- linearity. It is necessary to compensate for the reactive power since it has increased as a result of the power factor drop and does not contribute to the transmission of energy. In this project, Artificial Intelligence based controllers have been proposed for improving Power Quality in Grid connected Distribution System. This is used to reduce the harmonics of current and other correlated power quality issues caused by reactive power. With the aid of the MATLAB/ SIMULINK toolkit, these control approaches are to be simulated. In this paper, we examine whether ANN or ANFIS is the most appropriate method.
