With increasing applications of nonlinear and electronically switched devices in distribution systems and industries, power-quality (PQ) problems such as harmonics, flicker, imbalance, and others have become serious concerns. To meet PQ standard limits, it is necessary to include compensation. Modern PQ solutions exist in the form of active compensation devices. Solutions based on flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) are commonly used. FACTS devices are power electronics devices used in the conventional AC transmission network to increase the power transfer capability of a transmission line...
