TL;DR: In this article, a critical review has been presented chronologically various work to improve quality of power with the help of energy storage device i.e. supercapacitors energy storage systems for ASD, elevators, UPS, and power distribution system, ride through capability, real power injection and reactive power injection for stabilization of the system.
Abstract: Power quality problem causes a misoperation or failure of end user equipments. Distribution network, sensitive industrial loads and critical commercial operations suffer from outages and service interruptions which can cost financial losses to both utility and consumers. In India the use of electronic loads is increasing very fast and the gap between demand and the supply have made the reliability and power quality a critical issue. Further there is continuous thrust on optimal utilization of the non-conventional energy sources along with the central power station. In this paper a critical review have been presented chronologically various work to improve quality of power with the help of energy storage device i.e. Supercapacitors energy storage systems for ASD, elevators, UPS, and power distribution system, ride through capability, real power injection and reactive power injection for stabilization of the system.

TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for efficient distribution and conditioning of power to one or more variable loads is described, where a power control module is adapted to monitor the load requirements, both current and future, of variable loads.
Abstract: A system and method for efficient distribution and conditioning of power to one or more variable loads are disclosed herein. Power having a first form is supplied to one or more power conversion units (PCUs) connected to the one or more variable loads. The PCUs are adapted to convert the power from the first form to other forms suitable for use by the components of the destination system. Additionally, a power control module is adapted to monitor the load requirements, both current and future, of the one or more variable loads. Based at least in part on the load requirements, the power control module controls the operation of the one or more PCUs to provide sufficient power to the one or more loads at the appropriate time while minimizing wasted power generation by deactivating any unnecessary PCUs. Additionally, the power control module can, based at least in part on a predicted temporary change in the load requirements, direct one or more of the PCUs to change their output voltages in anticipation of the change in the load requirement, such as by increasing their output voltages to provide additional energy to the one or more variable loads during a temporary increase in power consumption or by decreasing their output voltages during a temporary decrease in power consumption. The present invention proves particularly beneficial when employed to distribute power within a radar system.

TL;DR: In this article, a system for providing constant critical AC electrical load with primary, secondary, and in some cases a tertiary source of power with higher reliability and lower operating and capital costs and lower emissions than the traditional utility supply, uninterruptible power supply, and battery primary power source, and diesel generator back-up systems that are predominately used today.
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for providing constant critical AC electrical load with primary, secondary, and in some cases a tertiary source of power with higher reliability and lower operating and capital costs and lower emissions than the traditional utility supply, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and battery primary power source, and diesel generator back-up systems that are predominately used today. Specifically, the disclosed system utilizes on-site power generation to provide primary power and includes full utility and UPS/DC storage back-up systems.
