1.1 General

Distribution system power quality is one of the most important issues of electrical power systems. In recent years, the deterioration in the power quality of a distribution system, such as the aggravation of voltage sag, voltage swell, voltage deviation, and the increase of harmonic distortion, has been apprehended [1]. It is thought to be causally related to the diversification of load by the progress of power electronics technology and the rapid increase in nonlinear loads. These problems are responsible for deteriorating consumer appliances. In order to enhance the behavior of the power system, power quality problems should be eliminated.

Nowadays, conventional distribution systems ...
