This project presents a power quality improvement of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) to compensate current and voltage quality problems of sensitive loads. The UPQC consists of the series and shunt converter having a common dc link. The series converter mitigates voltage sag from the supply side and shunt converter eliminates current harmonics from the nonlimear load side. The develope...

The power quality (PQ) is a major issue for both electrical utilities and their customers. nonlinear loads cause PQ problems like current harmonics, voltage frequency deviation, sag swell. A unified conditioner (UPQC) utilized in this research to minimize these problems. UPQC made up of two active filters (APFs), one which connected the line series other parallel. Unit Vector Template Generatio...

This paper proposes a novel robust control scheme based on delay-dependent H∞for unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) in a microgrid under the influence of the delay and parameter uncertainties. A new UPQC model considering the effects of the delay and parameter uncertainties is established. Then, the H∞ controller is designed based on the cone complementarity linearization (CCL) algorithm....

This paper presents a control strategy for a Unified Power Quality Conditioner. This control strategy is used in three-phase three-wire systems. The UPQC device combines a shunt-active filter together with a series-active filter in a backto-back configuration, to simultaneously compensate the supply voltage and the load current. Previous works presented a control strategy for shunt-active filte...

Power quality has become an important factor in power systems. The main causes of a poor power quality are harmonic currents, poor power factor, supply-voltage variations, etc. To mitigate power quality problems, we have various equipments like active filter, passive filter, unified power flow controller and unified power quality conditioner etc. Among from them unified power quality conditione...

Abstract A fuzzy-integrated sliding mode-based hybrid controller (FISMHC) attributed to unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) was proposed in this study through implementation with solar integrated fuel cell incorporation of UPQC within sequence designed for active filters series and shunt configurations under shared structure DC-link capacitor deployment. Furthermore, the scheme FISMHC (U-F...

The enhancement in electric power quality using a single-stage solar PV integrated Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) has been discussed this paper. UPQC is the combination of Distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) having common DC voltage supply link. DSTATCOM compensates for load current associated problems like factor improvement, even odd harmonic...
