G-I/IR
: A new proposal for integration of UPQC in DG connected G network
Operational flexibility of the G network
Integration Technique
- G and APFsh are in parallel to grid
and placed at PCC
- APFse is in series
- DC link can be connected to storage
Advantages
- G can be connected to the system
during grid fault
- G achieves operational flexibility in
islanding and reconnection process
- G provides only the active power to
the load. Therefore, it reduces the
control complexity
- G can even work in the presence of
a phase jump or a phase difference
between the grid and G (UPQCG-IR).
- Provide high quality power for all time
