Abstract

In the forthcoming gap, throughout the world storage systems will carry the leading role, the reason is of providing energy in distant places. The utilization of storage elements in almost all applications are tremendously changed by the researchers. Here, mentioning the theory to increase the quality benefits in all corners of power utilization. By summing potential elements such as Unified power Quality conditioner, fuel cell to suppress the problems at the consumer points. UPQC is capable to supporting dynamic conditions at combined common connection in the system. To achieve the consumer expectations in our country, Power Quality is a big subject as there are frequent power variations, outages and frequency. Hence, it is required to take crucial steps in the direction of the growth. This hybridization of different elements gives the research in the angle of improving several issues, for unbalanced distribution system. This paper comes up with a configuration of UPQC that incorporates DC –to-DC converter along with the fuel - cell at the DC-link side, the whole setup run under MATLAB environment.

Highlights

  • The nonlinear devices are increase in number every day, the power quality problems are multiplied by ‘n’ No.of times, slowly spoiling of the system and at the same time it is very tough for electrical engineers for eliminating the power issues [1]

  • The latest equipments that are used in home and industries for various commercial applications are prone to harmonics and effected with the poor power factor

  • The fuel cell along with super capacitor can be used on the DC link for smaller durations

Summary

Introduction

The nonlinear devices are increase in number every day, the power quality problems are multiplied by ‘n’ No.of times, slowly spoiling of the system and at the same time it is very tough for electrical engineers for eliminating the power issues [1]. Some of the devices are delicate and produce harmonics create voltage disturbances cause low power factor. This type of disturbances definitely create unwanted results. The fuel cell along with super capacitor can be used on the DC link for smaller durations. As per IEEE 5191992 standard accessible limit of source current THD is 5% in all successful working conditions This hybrid system is set to reveal the importance of the UPQC, DC/DC converter and fuel cell system along with super capacitor. This work is presented as: Section 2; explains the hybridization of fuel cell with super capacitor based UPQC with DC-DC converter.
