OBJECTIVE
 To know the difference of power quality by using UPQC
and without UPQC by using Matlab Simulation
 To design a UPQC using series and shunt active filter to

compensate the voltage and current respectively.
INTRODUCTION
o Nowadays the end users and electric utilities are focusing on

the electric power quality.
o The main reason for focusing on the quality of electric power

is increase in use of electronic loads, which are nonlinear in
nature.
o Mostly, the electronic equipment’s used are microprocessor
based and they are much sensitive to the electric power
quality.
o The various issues of power quality like voltage swell, sag,

interruptions, harmonic current and voltage harmonics are
becoming a challenge to the utilities.
UPQC(UNIFIED POWER QUALITY
CONDITIONER)
 The use of separate shunt and series
active power filter may not be
economical.
 Hence, the Moran introduced one of the

devices combining both shunt and series
active filter.
BLOCK DIAGRAM OF UPQC
SHUNT INVERTER
The inverters connected in series to the supply

known as the series active filter. This inverter
behaves as a voltage source line which eliminates a
voltage interruption.
SERIES INVERTER
The inverter connected in shunt to the supply line is

known as shunt active filter. It eliminates the current
related harmonics also minimize the reactive current
in the load circuit.
DC LINK
The capacitor or inductor can be used as common DC link.
The capacitor is used as DC link, which supplies the DC
voltage.
LC FILTER
The output of the series active filter produces high switching

ripples. The LC filter minimizes the ripples in a system. The
LC filter acts as the low-pass filter.
Lsh Filter
The Lsh filter act as a high-pass filter. The ripples during

switching mode are minimized by Lsh filter.
INJECTION TRANSFORMER
The series injection transformer connected to series

convertor.
CAPACITOR
Capacitor can be used a source for both active

and reactive power and the use of any outer DC
source e.g. battery etc. can be eliminated
SHUNT ACTIVE POWER FILTER
• Shunt active power filters
compensate current harmonics
by injecting equal but opposite
harmonic compensating current.
• In this case, the shunt active
power filter operates as a current
source injecting the harmonic
components generated by the
load but phase shifted by 180
degrees.
CONTROL STRATERGIES
Control strategies for Unified Power Quality Conditioners (UPQC) are
crucial for enhancing the power quality in electrical distribution systems. Here
are some of the advanced control strategies that are being used:
1. Instantaneous Active and Reactive Power Theory (PQ Method):

This method, proposed by Fujita and Akagi, is used for the real-time
calculation of compensating currents and voltages
2. Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) Theory:

This strategy involves transforming the three-phase time-domain
signals into a rotating reference frame to simplify the control of three-phase
inverters..
4.Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC):
Employs fuzzy logic to handle uncertainties and provide robust
control under varying conditions.
5.Instantaneous Active and Reactive Power Theory (PQ Method):
This method, proposed by Fujita and Akagi, is used for the real-time
calculation of compensating currents and voltages.
6.Neuro-Fuzzy Controller (NFC):

Combines neural networks and fuzzy logic to enhance the accuracy of
compensation.

WORKING
• Basically UPQC (Unified Power Quality
Conditioner) is a equipment which is used for
compensate for voltage distortion and voltage
unbalance in a power system.
• UPQC provides the VAR requirement of the load, so
that the supply voltage and current are always in
phase; therefore, no additional power factor
correction equipment is required.

The placement of UPQC in the distribution system faces challenges related to limited space availability, high initial installation
costs, complex integration with existing infrastructure, and compliance with varying regulations. These limitations need to be
carefully addressed to maximize the effectiveness of UPQC.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the implementation of UPQC is a crucial step towards
improving power quality in the distribution system. With the ever-
increasing demand for electricity, the future prospects of UPQC
technology are promising. It is expected to play a pivotal role in ensuring
reliable and stable power supply for various industries and households.
Furthermore, the continuous advancements in power electronics and

control systems are likely to enhance the performance and efficiency of
UPQC, making it an even more attractive solution for addressing power
quality issues in the future.
FUTURE SCOPE
 The prototype of this UPQC model can be established in laboratory.
 UPQC model can be established for three phase four wire system for
the non-linear load and unstable voltage.
 We can connect with turbines , solar energy system that is renewable

source of energy to UPQC to get improved power in consumer ends
during serious conditions.
