Improved Unified Power Quality Conditioner Design and Numerical Simulation For Power Quality Improvement

Nandini Joshi, Dr. Bharat Bhushan Jain

Abstract


Harmonic currents can distort the waveform voltage, resulting in a weak signal. There is also an increase in the number of loads requiring enough sinus tension to function properly. As electronic devices become more power-sensitive, people are becoming increasingly interested in power conditioning solutions. Therefore, if the amount of electricity being generated falls below a certain threshold, some type of compensation must be provided. Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) is an AC Transmission System family capable of managing voltage, impedance and phase angle during transmission. UPQC (FACTS). It is necessary to enhance the power system's power quality by employing a Dynamic Voltage Restorer, a Fuzzy Controlled Shunt Active Power Filter, and a UPQC. DVRs (Dynamic Voltage Restorers) are power converters fitted in responsive load arrays that give protection against disruptions on the supply side. It is a fantastic tool for improving the quality of electrical power because of its quick response time and high level of dependability. In order to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed system, the simulation results were compared to the basic system and enhanced.
