Abstract

Objective: This study presents the unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) which is based on eight switch converter for dropping the total harmonic distortion. Alleviation of power quality is accomplished by power fed to the DC link of the converter and regulates the power using intelligent controller. Methods: The function of UPQC is determined by how fast and precisely compensation signals are estimated. The UPQC has presented for reducing the coupling problem by the presence of switching leg. In the distributed system needs to explain the approaches for standard supply voltage droop and voltage swell. Findings: The harmonics is reduced and produces the dynamic response in eight switch converter using genetic algorithm (GA). Application/ improvements: In the distribution system eight switch converter based UPQC has generated the steady state and dynamic process of control in nonlinear load and/or utility voltage conditions is implemented in MATLAB Simulink. Keywords: Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).

Highlights

  • In allocation scheme, the impact of power quality is increased because of more harmonic distortion due to nonlinear loads

  • The unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) that was used for compensating the voltage and current and design is implemented in MATLAB Simulink

  • The gate pulse has been created and given for switches to turn on the switch those gate pulses are produced and offered by the gate pulse comparing switch is turned ON and OFF

Summary

Introduction

The impact of power quality is increased because of more harmonic distortion due to nonlinear loads. The distortion occurred in the way of harmonics, notching, and inter harmonics. For instance microcontroller based AC/DC drive with working condition, decrease the voltage sag and swell condition. In automation industry utilize the power electronic load. The power distortion is reduced by using both the active and passive filter. The power to be distributed to the user should be in required quantity and its quality should be sustained. The consumers facade harmonics in inverter output and mainly occur in AC current compared to voltage, the utility inject harmonics in of FACTS devices
