Power Quality Conditioner

Recently the use of sensitive electronic devices has increased, and the quality of energy has become an important factor in electrical power systems, where disturbances occurring in the network (harmonics, swell, voltage sag, etc.) affect consumers and lead to technical-economic damages. One of the most prominent solutions to address energy quality problems is the UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner). In this paper, the unified power quality conditioner used to improve the electrical power quality in the distribution networks was discussed, where the Park transformations are used to obtain the required reference signals, and also the use of adaptive hysteresis band to generate the electronic switch pulses in both serial and shunt switches, where the pulse width is determined by dependence on fuzzy logic. The studied system was validated by simulating different distortion cases and comparing the results when using the Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) to control the two switches. The results showed improvement in the electrical power quality through the use of an adaptive hysteresis band controller, and that appeared by reducing the total distortion factor (THD%), which resulted in improving the shape of both the voltage and current waveforms.

This paper evaluates the shortcomings of the application experience before nine-switch the newly proposed converter. A better understanding of development, the conclusion is, nine-switch converter is not an attractive option "alternative of two consecutive converter parallel of the bridge. Instead, nine-switch converter is more suitable for replace back-to-back inverter in" series-shunt "of the system, in a good example is the unified power quality conditioner.

Shunt Compensation

This paper presents a solar photovoltaic based unified power quality conditioner (PV-UPQC). The proposed system consists of a shunt compensator (ShC), series compensator (SeC) and PV array connected in parallel to a common dc-link. A three-level diode clamped multilevel inverter configuration is used as shunt and series converters. The SVPWM technique provides reduction in the common mode voltage and the balancing of the dc link voltage. The shunt compensation converter extracts power from PV array and provides compensation for load harmonic currents. The series compensation converter compensates for the power quality (PQ) problems such as grid voltage sags/swells and source harmonic voltages. The proposed system utilizes space vector pulse width modulation (SV-PWM) in multilevel converter topology for the mitigating the power quality problems using PV-UPQC. The proposed system improves PQ and also utilize RES, it also simultaneously improves both current and voltage disturbances. The performance of the system is analyzed in MATLAB/Simulink for nonlinear load conditions.
