Compensation of the voltage flicker using an efficient algorithm for series and parallel mitigating devices

This paper introduces an efficient technique for extracting the disturbance signal of the voltage flicker. The proposed technique, which depends on a novel modification of the adaptive perceptron technique, is controlled by the Widrow-Hoff delta rule. The extracted disturbance signal is employed for mitigating the cyclic voltage flicker by using series and parallel mitigating devices. The speed and accuracy of the proposed technique are verified by simulation results with EMTDC/PSCAD.
