Enhancing Distribution System Efficiency Through Vector Space Control of Power Inverters for Improved Power Factor
Regarding stability and efficiency, DG, characterized by decentralized energy production on a small scale, presents unique challenges and opportunities. This study investigates the integration of dynamic loads into the test system, validating the effective operation of the implemented systems and controls while emphasizing improvements in power factor.Power factor (PF) is a vital indicator of efficiency and is essential for optimizing electrical loads. This paper proposes utilizing space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) control strategies in power inverters to enhance the PF. The research implements distributed generation (DG) and dynamic reactive power compensation control to improve system conditions further. The study presents theoretical foundations, experimental results, and comparative analyses focused on PF enhancement.
