This paper presents an improved controller for the dual topology of the unified power quality conditioner (iUPQC) extending its applicability in power-quality compensation, as well as in micro grid applications. By using this controller, beyond the conventional UPQC power quality features, including voltage sag/swell compensation, the iUPQC will also provide reactive power support to regulate n...

The Electrical power system contains a wide range of electrical and power electronics components in industrial and commercial applications. The power quality will be affected by various factors like ripples contamination, voltage sag and voltage swells due to the increase in loads of non-linear type like large power electronics converters such as IGBT and GTO, rectifiers, voltage and current gl...

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....

In recent years, there is tremendous growth in the use of power electronic devices in every sphere but in nonlinear loads, it has problem of drawing the two important limitations; draws the non-sinusoidal current and reactive power from source which in turn effects the power quality. This paper presents the performance evaluation of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) for current and volta...

This paper describes role of UPQC as applied to a 3P4W system to improve PQ. The Forth wire of 3P4W system is developed by means of neutral of series transformer. Neutral current which flows through neutral terminal of transformer is removed with the help of 4 leg voltage source inverter (VSI) topology for shunt part. The series transformer neutral will have 0 potential in all conditions of ope...

Power quality problems have become more complex at all level of power system. By using power electronic devices can be effective improve the quality of power supplied to the distributed system. The topology of UPQC to have a reduced dc-link voltage without compromising its compensation capability. This proposed topology also helps to match the dclink voltage requirement of the shunt and series ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract This paper presents two different control strategies applied to Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to improve power quality in a three-phase, four-wire distribution system. The two control techniques are Unit Vector Template Generation (UVTG)...

Wind power generation is grasping more attention nowadays because it offers the benefits of reduced cost, increased efficiency, less pollution and so on. But the known disadvantage is that the integration of wind farm with grid leads to many power quality problems such as voltage sag, swell, unbalance, harmonics, flickers etc. This paper concentrates mainly on diminution of source voltage sag a...

An UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner) is anequipment composed by two active conditioners operating in a combined way. One of the active conditioners is connected in series with the electrical power system, allowing the compensation of problems in the system voltages. The other active conditioner is connected in parallel with the electrical system, and allows the compensation of current ha...

Power quality is the major problem in fast growing electical systems. Persistent increase non linear loads have caused distortions distribution system leading to becoming unbalanced current and voltage waveforms which affect of power.The power issues analyzed this paper relate sag, reactive power, harmonics, interharmonics, subharmonics, voltage, current, inrush Induction motor.Also line ground...
