Description
Summary:Power quality issues have become one of the most important issue for researchers to concern. In this paper, simulation and experiment of algorithm and circuit design of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) are provided. Control algorithm and topology design of one UPQC which includes active power filter (APF) and dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) are introduced. Stability condition of the filter unit is deduced and proved by Routh stability criterion. Simulation for APF and DVR is carried out in PSCAD to show the proposed control strategy. Experiments such as current tracking, harmonic detection and compensation and voltage drop compensation are provided in details. Experimental results show that the proposed control method and the designed topology are effective and practical.
