Abstract
This paper demonstrates the design of PV fed Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). Nowadays due to growing applications in power electronics, the power quality problems in the grid interconnected applications take great interest. Hence, mitigation of harmonics and utilisation of clean energy related to power electronics applications became popular worldwide. PV fed UPQC is proposed in the present paper. The unique property about UPQC is it can also export active power. According to the analysis, the proposed UPQC has the capability of eliminating both the supply current distortion, which is a consequence of nonlinear loads and secondly, distortions caused due to the introduction of the fifth and seventh order harmonics to the supply voltage. Also, the proposed UPQC transfers power obtained from PV to the grid using boost converter. The simulation system gives the performance of voltage sag, voltage swell, harmonic distortions and its mitigation and also offers future outlook on UPQC. © International Science Press.
