A Novel Hybrid Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) for Medium-Voltage Power Grid

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposed a three-phase three wire UPQC (hybrid UPQC). The topology is novel which consists of a series and a hybrid shunt filters. The unique topology can reduce the capacity of power devices in the hybrid UPQC when compensating source harmonic currents. In this paper a detailed design about the main circuit is presented. Finally a simulation study of the proposed hybrid UPQC has been carried out by using MATLAB/Simulink. The results verified the effectiveness of the UPQC topology.
