Power Quality Conditioner

This paper outlines a new approach for the compensation of power systems presented through the use of a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) which compensates impulsive and oscillatory electromagnetic transients. The newly proposed control technique involves a dual analysis of the UPQC where the parallel compensator is modelled as a sinusoidal controlled voltage source, while the series compensator is modelled as a sinusoidal controlled current source, opposed to the traditional approach where the parallel and series compensators are modelled as current and voltage nonsinusoidal sources, respectively. Also a new compensation algorithm is proposed through the application of the theory of generalized reactive power; this is then compared with the theory of active and reactive instantaneous power, orpqtheory. The results are presented by means of simulations in MATLAB-Simulink®.

Power Quality Conditioner

An intelligent control strategy is proposed in this paper which suggests the Optimum Power Quality Enhancement (OPQE) of grid-connected hybrid power systems with solar photovoltaic, wind turbines, and battery storage. Unified Power Quality Conditioner with Active and Reactive power (UPQC-PQ) is designed with Atom Search Optimization (ASO) based Fractional-order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) controller in the proposed Hybrid Renewable Energy Sources (HRES) system. The main aim is to regulate voltage while reducing power loss and reducing Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). UPQC-PQ is used to mitigate the Power Quality (PQ) problems such as sag, swell, interruptions, real power, reactive power and THD reductions related to voltage /current by using ASO based FOPID controller. The developed technique is demonstrated in various modes: simultaneous to improve PQ reinforcement and RES power injection, PRES > 0, PRES = 0. The results are then compared to those obtained using previous literature methods such as PI controller, GSA, BBO, GWO, ESA, RFA, and GA and found the proposed approach is efficient. The MATLAB/Simulink work framework is used to create the model.

Power Quality Conditioner

<p>Power quality has become an important factor in power systems, for consumer and household appliances. The main causes of poor power quality are harmonic currents, poor power factor, supply voltage variations etc. A technique of achieving both active current distortion compensation, power factor correction and also mitigating the supply voltage variations at load side is compensated by unique device UPQC presented in this thesis. This concept presents a multi loop based controller to compensate power quality problems through a three phase four wire unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) under unbalanced and distorted load conditions. Here the UPQC is constituted of two voltage source converters (VSC) connected via power link. The series compensator is connected to the line in series and injects the voltage and thus compensates for voltage issues; whereas the shunt compensator injects current thus compensating for current issues, and is connected in shunt to the line. The voltage injection to the line uses an injecting transformer. The injection transformer is later replaced with injection capacitors, thus eliminating the drawback of conventional UPQC. In this way a good power quality is maintained.</p>

Power Quality Conditioner

This paper presents the new control algorithm for three-phase, four-wire distributing system using unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). The UPQC, a combination of series and shunt active filter (AF) with common dc link, is one of the best solution towards the compensation of voltage sag, swell problems and also compensate voltage flicker/imbalance, reactive power, negative sequence current and maintain zero voltage regulation (ZVR) at the point of common coupling (PCC) on distribution system. The series AF is seen by using a three-phase, three leg voltage source inverter (VSI) and the shunt AF is of a three-phase, four leg voltage source inverter (VSI). The proposed model of the UPQC is developed in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the simulation results prove the power quality improvement in the system.

Nowadays Power quality is a extremely main issue. Switching actions of power electronics devices draws reactive power, which causes distortion in current waveform, resulting in harmonics which further leads to capacitor failure, resonance problem and power factor performance etc. Therefore the harmonics are eliminated and the reactive power is compensated in the power supply in the grid side. Passive filters were previously used for removal of harmonics, but due to large resonance problem and effect of source impendence on performance it was dropped. In the proposed model, VSI used as Shunt Active Power Filter is proposed to design as per work producing component of basic current of load (ICos) for providing to eliminate distortion of a sinusoidal waveform by waveforms of different frequencies and power produced by non-work producing component reparation as requested by reactive load drawn non-sinusoidal current from sinusoidal supply. Control circuit of Voltage Source Inverter provided to improve quality of power is performed for various active functioning conditions under non-linear reactive loads. MATLAB / Simulink simulation tool is used to obtain this result. The obtained outputs were within the suggested IEEE-519 standard i.e. less than 5% and also the system power factor is almost unity

Hybrid Renewable Energy System

This paper bestows 3-phase grid interfaced solar-wind hybrid renewable energy system (RES), feeding three-phase loads. The proposed system includes solar photovoltaic, permanent magnet based synchronous generator (PMSG), DC-DC converter, maximum power point tracker (MPPT) based on incremental conductance, three phases IGBT based voltage source converter (VSC), with a third order generalized integrator (TOGI) control technique. This control technique bestows multifunctional capabilities as harmonic mitigations, load balancing, and reactive power compensation. A fundamental component of load current is extracted by TOGI based controller, and further it is utilized to provide switching pulses to VSC for power quality enrichment. The fuzzy logic-based controller is used for loss computation of VSC as well as for maintaining DC link voltage. Moreover, fuzzy logic provides better dynamic performance compared to conventional PI controller. The results are presented in many aspects for linear and nonlinear loads such as, intermittent nature of solar and wind as well as disturbances in the system. A comparative analysis between proposed TOGI based controller and conventional control algorithm has been presented. Test results are performed by using MATLAB/ Simulink environment and demonstrate, AC-grid current is maintained within the IEEE-519 standard.

Virtual Inertia

Inertia reduction due to inverter-based resource (IBR) penetration deteriorates power system stability, which can be addressed using virtual inertia (VI) control. There are two types of implementation methods for VI control: grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM). There is an apparent difference among them for the voltage regulation capability, because the GFM controls IBR to act as a voltage source and GFL controls it to act as a current source. The difference affects the performance of the VI control function, because stable voltage conditions help the inertial response to contribute to system stability. However, GFL can provide the voltage control function with reactive power controllability, and it can be activated simultaneously with the VI control function. This study analyzes the performance of GFL-type VI control with a voltage control function for frequency stability improvement. The results show that the voltage control function decreases the voltage variation caused by the fault, improving the responsivity of the VI function. In addition, it is found that the voltage control is effective in suppressing the power swing among synchronous generators. The clarification of the contribution of the voltage control function to the performance of the VI control is novelty of this paper.

Wind energy system is lately receiving a lot of attention, because they are cost inexpensive, environmental safe and clean renewable energy source, as compared with nuclear and fossil fuel power generation. The operational characteristics of wind electric turbines has considerable dissatisfaction and stress on the quality of electric power system. Harmonics, variations of voltage and reactive power are most of power quality issues for grid connected with wind turbine. This paper introduces a design and simulation of unified power quality conditioner using a fuzzy controller to improve the power quality for Egyptian power grid connected to Zafarana Egypt wind system. The proposed performance of the unified power quality conditioner system is verified by simulating the model using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The simulation results showed that the proposed unified power quality conditioner provide efficient cancellation of both load current  harmonics  and supply voltage sag in addition to compensation of reactive power, and thus making the electrical grid connected wind energy system more efficient by improving the quality of power.
