ABSTRACT=Despite the numerous benefits of distributed generation (DG), such as reliable energy supply and environmental friendliness, there are a number of challenges associated with integrating DG with the grid. In the field of DG, the complication of power quality (PQ) is a major technical challenge. Custom power devices (CPDs) are used in the distribution system to solve complications. This paper presents different PQ disturbances (PQDs), monitoring techniques, and fundamental standards. Furthermore, with the widespread literature, the paper critically reviews different PQ mitigation techniques such as Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM), Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), and Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). The present research is not only limited to surveying the existing techniques but also analyses the performance of UPQC using the ANFIS controller. Overall, this paper is intended to provide researchers working on improving PQ in distribution systems with a valuable resource that will aid them in enriching their research.
