PIL Implementation of Feedback Linearisation-SVM Control of 3-Phase Multifunctional Grid-Tied Solar PV Integrated UPQC

Abstract

In this paper, an implementation of a feedback linearisation-based on SVM control of a multifunctional unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) combined with a photovoltaic generator (PVG) using STM32F429I-DISC DSP board has been presented. Further, The PVG-UPQC is acting as a universal conditioner for power quality enhancement and renewable energy integration simultaneously with harmonics reduction in both grid voltage and current. Furthermore, the system can also compensate reactive power in presence of nonlinear loads. The presented system is made up of a shunt active power filter which acts as a current harmonics compensator in addition to a series filter that compensates voltage harmonics and fluctuations such as voltage sag/swell. In order to enhancing the PVG-UPQC performances, a nonlinear feedback linearisation control technique combined with SVM controller is applied. The performance of the suggested control scheme is validated by extensive PIL co-simulation technique. The obtained results prove the high performances and reliability of the presented system in the case of nonlinear load variations as well as eliminating voltage and current harmonics. These results accomplish the superiority and effectiveness of those obtained by a compared to a conventional PI controller.
