Power quality is an important measure of the performance of an electrical power system. This paper discusses the topology, control strategies using artificial intelligent based controllers and the performance of a unified power quality conditioner for power quality improvement. UPQC is an integration of shunt and series compensation to limit the harmonic contamination within 5 %, the limit impo...

Modern power grids must be highly reliable and provide power with a high quality. Power quality issues like voltage sags or current harmonics must be minimized, in order to achieve high levels of reliability in the system. One possible way to overcome such problems is through the utilization of active power filters like a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). On the other hand, Superconduct...

The widespread use of Power Electronics based equipment has produced a significant impact on quality of electric power supply. Conventional power quality mitigation equipment is providing to be inadequate for an increasing number of applications. One modern and very promising solution that deals with both load current and supply voltage imperfections is the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UP...

Unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) with energy storage is commonly based on conventional capacity configuration strategy angle control. It has problems such as phase jumping before and after compensation. DC-link cannot continuously emit active externally. Therefore, this paper presents the compensation of full load voltage magnitude in UPQC. The topology UPQC integrated a series filter (...

The main aim of this project is ,this topology enables UPQC to have a reduced dc-link voltage without compromising its compensation capability. Three-phase, four-wire unified Power Quality (UPQC) to improve power quality. The UPQC is realized by the integration of series and shunt active power filters (APF) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The realization of shunt APF is carried out using a t...

This paper proposed the reduced rating star connected transformer based interline unified power quality conditioner. This work comprises of unified power quality conditioner connected between the two feeders, star connected transformer and LC filter. This hybrid approach significantly improves the performance of UPQC under unbalance source voltage condition. The UPQC adopted to compensate curre...

Aiming at the micro-grid deteriorating the distributed network power quality for its features like voltage fluctuation and intermittent, unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is the most effective device for power quality treatment. The voltage sag detection of UPQC based on PI with RBF (Radial Basis Function) neural network controller is put forward in the paper. The UPQC topology which inc...

This paper introduces a new concept of optimal utilization of a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). The series inverter of UPQC is controlled to perform simultaneous 1) voltage sag/swell compensation and 2) load reactive power sharing with the shunt inverter. The active power control approach is used to compensate voltage sag/swell and is integrated with theory of power angle control (PAC...
