scholarly journals Stability Analysis of Power System using FACT Controller

The Stability of power system is influenced by different elements such as harmonic distortion attributed to non-linear loads, like unregulated voltage and unstudy current because of sag and swell and switching capacity. One of the effective methods is to make use of an integrated circuit of active shunt and series power filters such as Unified power quality conditioner in short called as UPQC. Such instrument binds a active shunt power filter with a active series power filter in Sequential formation, to simultaneously make up for the regular supply of voltage and current or to remove voltage and current disturbances in a power allocation and networking system. In present article, a latest layout of Unified power quality conditioner in short called as UPQC has been presented, consisting of a electromechanical device such as Direct current to direct current converter and the storage device joined to the dirct current (DC) link of the UPQC to counter the voltage disturbances.

In this article, a Quasi Z-source inverter (QZSI)-based unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) backed by the solar photovoltaic (SPV) is presented in order to enhance power quality. The UPQC consists of converters connected in parallel and series. The active power filters (APFs) connected in parallel and series is one of the versatile custom power circuitries to reduce current and voltage instabilities. The main functions of QZSI can increase the variable direct current (DC) voltage to any given alternating current (AC) output voltage, reduce the necessary elements, and alleviate harmonic content. The UPQC’s compensation function primarily relies on the control system used for the generation of reference current and voltage. The enhanced second order generalized integrator (ESOGI) is used in this proposed system to extract the reference current of QZSI-UPQC. The proposed UPQC uses the SPV system, which has an energy storage unit to offset long-term current and voltage disruptions and fulfill the active power demands of the grid. The experimental results confirm that the proposed SPV-supported QZSI-UPQC generates sinusoidal grid currents of about 1.2% of total harmonic distortion (THD), thus increasing the power efficiency of the interconnected SPV power distribution network.

This paper proposes a hybrid fuzzy control strategy comprising both Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy and Mamdani fuzzy along with novel feedback integral phase-locked loop based modified synchronous reference frame for unified power quality conditioner for power quality enhancement in power distribution network. The hybrid fuzzy controller can vary the gain nonlinearly for controlling dc-bus capacitor voltage of unified power quality conditioner, which limits the dc-bus voltage deviations during the load and supply voltage turbulences. Moreover, the proposed novel feedback integral phase-locked loop system is employed to improve the grid synchronization performance of unified power quality conditioner by considering the feedback integral loop and nonlinear adaptive-filter type phase detector approach. As a consequence, the proposed feedback integral phase-locked loop system can extract the positive sequence signal perfectly during power system disturbances. Additionally, the novelty of modified synchronous reference frame control technique relies upon nonintervention with low pass filter as well as high pass filter. Hence, the proposed control technique quickly and accurately extracts the reference signal from the distorted power system. The efficacy of the proposed control technique is justified through a real-time Opal-RT Hardware underneath different states of power system and compared with both conventional modified phase locked loop system and Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy with synchronous reference frame-based control system.

Power quality improvement faces different and significant problems due to voltage instability and the wide use of electronic power devices. To overcome these different power quality problems, an active power filter is used. The active power filter, in general, has 4 main categories- shunt, series, unified power quality conditioner, and hybrid active power filter. The shunt active power filter is usually used to mitigate source current harmonics and compensate reactive power for power factor correction. The series active power filter is usually used to mitigate voltage problems (sags, swells, transients, dips, distortions, harmonics, etc.). The unified power quality conditioner is a combination of the shunt active power filter and the series active power filter; it is used to mitigate all voltage and current problems, compensate voltage, current system harmonics, and reactive power compensation, and mitigate voltage dips, voltage sags, voltage swells, and voltage phase shift. In this paper, the 3-phase 3-wire unified power quality conditioner is utilized to mitigate all power system problems (voltages and currents) and discuss the effect of the shunt and series active power filter separately on source voltage and source current waveforms. This case study shows that the source voltage distortion can be mitigated by using the series active power filter alone, but the source current distortion cannot be mitigated without using both the series and shunt active power filter. The source current harmonic problem mainly exists due to 1) distorted voltage sources, and 2) non-linear loads. Therefore, the unified power quality conditioner must be used to mitigate source current distortions in the case of the distorted voltage source, to comply with the standard limits IEEE 519, IEC 555, and IEC 61000. HIGHLIGHTS The UPQC is used to mitigate all voltage and current problems and improve all power system quality The SEAPF eliminates all voltage problems The SHAPF has no effect on source voltage The SHAPF eliminates source current harmonic distortion GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
