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

The main purpose of this work is to introduced power quality improvement in low voltage distribution networks with the application of Improved Unified Power Quality Conditioner (I-UPQC). Ordinarily, in the normal UPQC, the series inverter handles active injection while the shunt inverter provides load imaginary power injection. However, in the case of I-UPQC, the series inverter of the UPQC performs two functions concurrently as a sag and swell compensator and assists the shunt inverter in load reactive power requirements. The reactive power sharing is achieved by the integration of the Power Angle Control (PAC) of UPQC to coordinate imaginary power-sharing between the two inverters. With the view that the series inverter produces active and reactive power, this concept is named I-UPQC. Full mathematical analysis to extend the PAC method to I-UPQC has been carried out in this work. The simulation and results produced in the MATLAB / SIMULINK environment and discussion to support the developed concept are also presented. The result from the proposed concept is confirmed by comparing the concept with operation unified power quality conditioner in steady-state.

<p>In this paper, a novel and dynamic, current control based inverter control strategy has been used for energy optimization and power quality improvement in a grid-connected solar photovoltaic plant using a PI controller. The output of the plant is delivered to the grid passing through a boost converter controlled by an MPPT controller and an inverter. The control strategy proposed offers the flexibility to keep control of active as well as reactive power being injected straight into the grid and also helps in mitigating the total harmonic distortion levels. Also, the effect of the conventional PI controller and PI controller optimized through Genetic Algorithm has been compared. The GA-PI controller has been found effective in reducing the Total Harmonic Distortion in the current injected in the grid. The effectiveness of the work has been observed by using a MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.</p>

Nowadays, the improvement of power quality is the major concern in power system scenario. These problems mainly caused due to utilization of different load conditions to the power system. To mitigate these problems different methods are implemented in literature. As per literature analysis the one of the Flexible AC Transmission System called as unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) plays a key role. The series and shunt controllers of UPQC designed with 9-level inverters to reduce the harmonic distortions. An instantaneous PQ theory is used to generate the reference signals required for series and shunt controllers along with dq-transformation analysis. A Cuckoo optimization technique is used to tune the parameters of PI controller in shunt controller to achieve better harmonic distortions and improve power quality. This proposed system is to be tested and verified in MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Power Quality Improvement

Renewable energy sources are used to accommodate the ongoing increasing power demand. So, the integration of PV system controlled by the revised p-q concept which is revealed from instantaneous active reactive power concept and a suitable choice to meet the energy demand. Enormous utilization of power electronic converters deviates the quality of power. Series voltage compensation and shunt current compensation is done by the p-q theory. Revised p-q conceptstates the single instantaneous active power and the imaginary powers for active and reactive power compensation. This paper presents the revised p-q concept to generate the reference signals for integrated unified power quality conditioner (PV-UPQC-S). This proposed method enables the process of PV-UPQC-S under unbalanced voltage circumstances at the point of common coupling (PCC). This system incorporates the series voltage source converter (VSC) to control the unbalanced voltage by sharing the part of the reactive power of the load, which in turn reduces the rating of the shunt VSC. The integration of the PV system at the DC bus of UPQC serves the purpose of load sharing as well as power quality improvement to maintain the healthy grid condition. This concept is approved by simulating the proposed model in MATLAB/Simulink. The proposed model comprises of both linear and non-linear loads. The experimental results validates the perfect dynamical response of the given model.

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®.
