This paper proposes a multi-functional Photovoltaic (PV) inverter based on the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) configuration. Power quality improvement is a difficult issue to solve for isolated areas or islands connected to the mainland through long submarine cables. In the proposed system, the line voltage is compensated for by the series inverter while the shunt inverter delivers the PV generating power to the grid. Depending on the technical conditions of power quality and system environment, it has five different operating modes. Especially during poor power quality conditions, the sensitive load is separated from the normal load to provide a different power quality level by using the microgrid conception. In this paper, the control method and the power flow for each mode are described, and the operational performance is verified through a PSiM simulation so that it can be applied to the power quality improvement of weak grid power systems such as in isolated areas or on islands connected to the mainland by long submarine cables.

Power Quality Conditioner

A new kind of parallel processing unified power quality conditioner with only one inverter is introduced. The system PI control method has a problem that the DC transient component of supply current does decay because of the linking inductance between power supply and load. A system control method based on state variable feedback is proposed, which indirectly controls the load voltage by controlling the supply current. The proposed control strategy is verified by simulation using Matlab.

Power Quality Conditioner

According to the power quality problems of micro-grid, this paper presents a control program of the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to improve the micro-grid power quality.The shunt side of UPQC is used to eliminate the harmonic current brought by nonlinear load into the micro-grid. And the conditioner series part is used to suppress distributed new energy generation intermittence. In the paper synchronous coordinate transformation is used to detect compensated components and tracking control method is adopted to control the converter. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the UPQC on improving the power quality of the micro-grid.
