Power Quality Challenges in Integrated Distribution Generation and Scope of Intelligent Control Techniques

This paper gives an overview of challenges introduced due to the interconnection of distributed generators into the grid. It also discusses the control technique and scope of AI applications in the mitigation of power quality issues. Exhaustive discussion is carried out on the interconnection of DGs to the grid and power quality issues. It also discusses the different controllers and algorithms that are used to control the parameters of the distributed generation system. A detailed comparison of conventional controllers studied by authors that are used in distribution generation is also discussed. Similarly, the application of artificial intelligence and adaptive algorithm in distribution generation is also presented as per the points, Different connection methods of DG’s to the grid, the effect of distributed generation on power quality, the necessity of local voltage control of distribution generator, control methods and intelligent techniques.
