Harmonics reduction techniques in source current were found to be unreliable and imbalanced with different load conditions. This certain unreliability problem in harmonics mitigation is caused by non-linear loads. The harmonics and power quality problems are eliminated by filters. These filters are expensive to provide a dynamic response under various load conditions. The new unified power flow controller composed of a series and shunt compensator provides more secured power systems and good voltage stability at various load conditions. D-Q theory is used to generate the reference current from the AC source current. D-Q theory produces sinusoidal harmonics that are opposite to load harmonics. This UPFC can absorb or inject reactive power in the PCC. D-Q theory followed by a hysteresis current controller generates PWM pulses to the shunt and series compensator. The PI and fuzzy logic controllers preserve the DC link voltage in the storage capacitor. The proposed technique has been simulated by using Matlab simulation under different load conditions.

In Modern Power System power quality is the main issue of the power companies. Improvement of power quality in distribution system using photovoltaic based DPFC is declared in this paper. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device which is known as distributed power flow controller (DPFC)is used. DPFC is derived from UPFC by eliminating common dc link between series and shunt converter. Unified power flow controller (UPFC) is widely used and control all parameters of the system. The UPFC handle the current and voltage with high rating; therefore, the cost of system is high. Therefore, distributed power flow controller (DPFC) is used due to high control capability, high Reliability & low cost. DPFC also measures the transmission angle, line impedance and bus voltage. In distribution system problems occur like voltage sag/swell, Harmonics etc. Photovoltaic system is used as source for DPFC.
