TL;DR: This survey organizes and evaluates the existing reviews to identify the patterns and the new trends in this field and assemble the existing approaches concerning different aspects of active power filters and their control techniques.
Abstract: The rapid growth in nonlinear appliances over the past years has increased the power quality problems along the grid. This has called up a continuous research to develop the active power filters. The persistent development has produced numerous applications that have helped in improving the power quality. Although many publications were dedicated to reviewing active power filters, this survey organizes and evaluates the existing reviews to identify the patterns and the new trends in this field. This paper seeks to assemble the existing approaches concerning different aspects of active power filters and their control techniques. This review should be quite beneficial for engineers and researchers who are interested in solving power quality issues using active filters to be able to select the most adequate and preferable technique for their applications.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in order to mitigate voltage sags and swells in low voltage distribution systems is described and it is shown that DVR can provide the most cost effective solution.
Abstract: Due to the advancement in semiconductor devices, which are non-linear devices, leads to poor power quality This poor power quality is introduced as an abnormal voltage, current or frequency that may cause damage to the equipments used at the consumer's premises In this paper, some parameters which leads to poor power quality like sudden fall in voltage (voltage dip) and momentary rise in voltage (voltage swell) are discussed and they are nullified using Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is the most efficient and effective modern custom power device used in power distribution networks Its appeal includes lower cost, smaller size, and its fast dynamic response to the disturbance In this paper, modelling, analysis and simulation of a high efficient Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) was done in MATLAB This paper describes the effectiveness of using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in order to mitigate voltage sags and swells in low voltage distribution systems Dynamic Voltage Restorer can provide the most cost effective solution to mitigate voltage sags and swells that is required by customer DVR reduces power consumption and variable voltage source and controller have been used to reduce consumption and to control wide range of voltages in this project
