this paper presents a new control method for a three-phase four-wire unified power quality conditioner (upqc) to deal with the problems of power quality under distortional and unbalanced load conditions. the proposed control approach is the combination of instantaneous power theory and synchronous reference frame (srf) theory which is optimized by using a self-tuning filter (stf) and without us...

A new topology of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is proposed for different power quality (PQ) improvement in a three-phase four-wire (3P-4W) distribution system. For neutral current mitigation, a star-hexagon transformer is connected in shunt near the load along with three-leg voltage source inverters (VSIs) based UPQC. For the mitigation of source neutral current, the uses of passive...

In this paper, a simplified control algorithm based on unit vector template generation (UVTG) is proposed for a stardelta supported three-phase four-wire (3P-4W) unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) topology for the improvement of different power quality problems. Different topologies reported in literature for 3P-4W UPQC use active compensation for the mitigation of source neutral current ...

This paper presents a novel control strategy of a threephase four-wire Unified Power Quality (UPQC) for an improvement in power quality. The UPQC is realized by integration of series and shunt active power filters (APFs) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The shunt APF is realized using a thee-phase, four leg voltage source inverter (VSI) and the series APF is realized using a three-phase, thre...

Unified power quality conditioner is one of the advanced forms of power conditioning device, which is a combination of back to back connected series APF and shunt active power filter (SAPF) connected to a common DC link voltage. This topology will facilitates this device to have a reduced dc-link voltage without reducing its compensation capability. This device is mainly used in improving the p...
