Abstract: Besides quantity, the quality of power is also equally important. Poor power quality decreases the efficiency and misoperation of electrical and electronic devices, this may result interrupted electrical power supply. Due to recent development of electronics and computer based automated and smart devices in every field e.g. medical, bank, industry, quality of power becomes more and more important as these devices require best power quality. Power quality mitigation becomes very important as we cannot avoid the nonlinear loadings and many more issues which is responsible for poor power quality. In this paper various power quality mitigation techniques are discussed such as Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM), Static VAR Compensator (SVC), Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) and Unified Power Quality Compensator (UPQC) for the improvement of power quality in manufacturing industries. Recent developments in mitigation techniques are also discussed. Different techniques are explained in chronological order. Impacts of different techniques for different disturbances are also mentioned
