Coordinate Active Power control between Shunt and Series for Balanced/Unbalanced Non-Linear Loads Using UPQC

Abstract

This project presents a new concept of coordinated active power sharing between shunt and series converters of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) for distributed generation applications. The UPQCs are used to mitigate both voltage and current power quality problems. The proposed method improves the utilization of the converters and also the reliability of the system. This paper proposes a new configuration of UPQC that consists of the DC/DC converter and the RES compensating the voltage interruption. The operation of proposed system was verified MATLAB\SIMULINK software.
