OBJECTIVE
To mitigate the power quality problems by
using unified power quality conditioner
(UPQC) .
9 August 2014 2 M.Tech. PED PHASE 1 - ZEROTH REVIEW
INTRODUCTION TO UPQC
It is the combination of both series and shunt
inverters .
Promising solution for power quality
problems.
Sub parts:
DSTATCOM - 3 phase shunt inverter
DVR - 3 phase series inverter

Synchronous-Reference-Frame-
Based Control Method for UPQC
Under Unbalanced and Distorted Load
Conditions,

1)Simple relatively
2)Not sensitive to voltage
distortions
3)Response time is quick
REFERENCE CURRENT GENERATION
For the reference current generation of shunt
inverter we are going to use Icos algorithm.
We use this method because it gives fast
computation and response compared to other
algorithms.
It reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD).
