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...

Increasing application of non-linear loads cause power quality issues in power system. Even though the distributed generation helps to meet the increase in power demand, they enhance the power quality problem of grid. They need power electronic interface and produce fluctuating power output hence give rise to voltage fluctuations, voltage sags, swells, harmonic distortion etc. This paper discus...

The bus voltage and branch current detection control strategies of the active power filters used in multibus power systems for harmonic voltage mitigation are analysed in terms of the optimum gains of PI controllers.

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...

The power quality issues are of great concern now a days. The increasing use of power electronic devices based nonlinear loads deteriorate the quality of power. Power electronic appliances are widely used in industrial, commercial and utility system thus leading to various power quality problems. This leads to harmonics being injected into the distribution system and also reactive power burden....

Custom power devices such as dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) and DSTATCOM are used to improve the power quality in distribution systems. These devices require real power to compensate the deep voltage sag during sufficient time. An interline DVR (IDVR) consists of several DVRs in different feeders. In this paper, a neural network is proposed to control the IDVR performance to achieve optimal mit...

Active power filter are been widely used for harmonic elimination. Harmonics are generated by nonlinear load in ac distribution system. The active power filters are broadly classified as shunt active power filter, series active power filter and hybrid filters. With regard to circuit topology, there are two basic kinds of active filter, voltage source and current source. The series active power ...
