Mitigation of Power Quality Issue in Hybrid Renewable Energy Source by UPQC with Optimization Techniques

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to mitigate power quality issues in hybrid renewable energy systems through the utilization of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) integrated with optimization techniques. As renewable energy sources like wind and solar play an increasingly significant role in power generation, ensuring high-quality power supply becomes imperative. The UPQC, comprising series and shunt active power filters, is strategically deployed to address voltage fluctuations, harmonics, and other disturbances. To enhance its efficacy, advanced optimization techniques such as control algorithm optimization and parameter tuning are employed. These techniques enable the UPQC to adapt to varying operating conditions and optimize its performance in real-time. Integration with hybrid renewable energy sources is seamless, facilitating coordinated operation for optimal power quality enhancement. The proposed approach emphasizes real-time monitoring and control, enabling proactive response to power quality fluctuations and ensuring stable and reliable electricity supply. Through rigorous testing, validation, and maintenance protocols, the effectiveness and reliability of the integrated system are demonstrated. This holistic approach contribute to the stability and sustainability of modern power grids, fostering the widespread adoption of hybrid renewable energy systems.
