This document summarizes research on using a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) to improve power quality in grid-connected wind energy conversion systems. The connection of large wind farms can cause power quality issues like voltage sags/swells and harmonics. A UPQC, which consists of series and shunt voltage source inverters connected back-to-back via a DC link, can mitigate both voltage-related issues from the grid and current-related issues from the load. Simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink show that a UPQC is effective at compensating for voltage dips, swells and harmonics, thus improving the quality of power supplied to the load.
