Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) is substantial power conditioner
in power system to filter the power system parameters with an objective to
improve the quality of power delivered to the customers/utility point. This
paper presents a multi-level UPQC to enhance the quality in power
distribution system. The series and shunt controllers of UPQC gives out five
leveled output which is further filtered to feed compensating signals to
improve voltage and current profiles in power distribution system.
Series and shunt controllers of UPQC are structured with cascaded
H-Bridge (CHB) topology to deliver compensating signals. Two separate
control strategies are employed to regulate the power switches of
5-level CHB series and shunt controllers of UPQC. Sag and swell in
source voltage and harmonics in source current are strained with UPQC.
The proposed system is developed and results are obtained using
MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Power quality definition differs for different sections in power system. To the power provider,
power quality defines the standard of power supplied to the customer with respect to his ability with due
reliability and regulation of voltage and frequency. To the consumer, the statement of quality in power [1-3]
focus on their ability to utilize the supplied power with précised signal magnitude and shape.
Power quality issues [4, 5] are not only associated with system efficiency and environmental issues
but to uninterrupted supply and quality of power in the system. Some power quality problems are of short
duration issues and some are long duration. If the power quality issue persists for less than one minute it is
termed as short duration and if the problem persists for more than one minute, the power quality issue is
termed to be long duration. Even a short-term power quality problem can degrade the system performance
inducing unwanted operation of the power system.
Worsen of voltage or current in power distribution system is due to large usage of non-linear
equipments and power electronic converters. Power electronic converters like rectifiers, thyristor converters
are non-linear type of loads and produce large disturbance in ac mains. There are two approaching techniques
to the mitigation of voltage and current quality problems. The first approaching technique is load
conditioning, which fortifies that the operating equipment is made insensitive to power disturbances,
which in turn allows the operation even under significant current and voltage distortion. The second
apparoaching technique is to install line-conditioning systems that counteract or suppress the electrical power
system disturbances.

A multilevel UPQC for voltage and current quality improvement in distribution system (Veera Nagi Reddy.V)
1933
Power quality is improved using FACTS [6-10] devices like DVR [11-15], DSTATCOM [16-22],
UPQC and many more. UPQC is a combination of back-to-back series-shunt controllers connected with a
common DC-Link voltage and combines the performance of DVR and DSTATCOM. UPQC [23-26]
enhances the system performance filtering out the disturbances like sag/swell in source voltage and ensures
load is supplied with constant voltage. UPQC also reduces the distortions (due to harmonics) in source
currents that are produced due to non-linear load connections. Block representation of UPQC in power
system is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Block representation of UPQC in power system
This paper presents a multi-level UPQC to enhance the quality in power distribution system. The
series and shunt controllers of UPQC gives out five leveled output which is further filtered to feed
compensating signals to improve voltage and current profiles in power distribution system. Series and shunt
controllers of UPQC are structured with cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) topology to deliver compensating signals.
Sag/swell in source voltage and harmonics in source current are strained with UPQC.
2. CASCADED H-BRIDGE FIVE-LEVEL UPQC
Conventional square-wave inverter yields square wave output, which contains very large quantity of
harmonics. This insists for high sized filters to tune the output to bring sinusoidal form. Cost and size of filter
increases, which becomes a major drawback while using conventional square-wave inverters.
Multi-level inverter draws attention due to its meritorious characteristics giving out leveled output.
Levelled output requires less sized filters as compared to conventional square-wave inverters. Cascaded H-
Bridge topology of multi-level inverters is one of the finest structure requiring no clamping devices or
elements. The structure of Cascaded H-Bridge topology is simple in onstruction but requires more number of
DC sources to drive each individual H-Bridge cell.
A five-level cascaded H-Bridge structure consists of two H-Bridge cells cascaded with each
individual H-Bridge cell is driven by DC source. Five-level cascaded H-Bridge structure of multi-level
inverters is shown in Figure 2. Five-level output voltage in phase of cascaded H-Bridge is also shown in
Figure 2. The total DC link voltage splits across two H-Bridge cells and by sequential triggering of power
switches gives out five-level output. Table 1 illustrates the switching sequence of 5-level Cascaded H-Bridge
with respect to power switches in Figure 2.

Figure 3 represents the 5-level UPQC connected in distribution system. In multi-level UPQC, both
series and shunt controllers are 5-level CHB structured and only one-phase of CHB structured 5-level
topology of series and shunt converters are represented for simplicity. Both the 5-level topology of series and
shunt converters of UPQC is connected with a common DC-link capacitor. Both 5-level series and shunt
controllers are controlled with a controller that gets feedback from source voltage and load current.
Controller generates reference currents and triggering of power switches is done using pulse generator.

3. CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR UPQC
3.1. Control algorithm for shunt controller
Shunt controller of UPQC mainly eliminates the harmonics in source currents. The reference
currents to generate pulses to power switches of shunt controller in UPQC are produced from conventional
‘PQ’ theory. Actual DC-Link voltage is compared to reference value and the error is processed to PI
controller to generate power loss component. Actual active power measured before is processed to
summation block where power loss component (from PI controller) and actual active power are compared to
generate one of the reference current signals in two co-ordinate system. Inverse transformation gives out the
compensating reference signals. The compensating reference signlas are compared to line currents from
power system to yield source reference currents. The obtained source reference currents are again compared
to actual source currents to give out PWM reference signal. PWM reference signal when overlapped with
level shifted carrier (LSCPWM pattern) signals produces pulses to power switches in shunt controller of
UPQC. The complete schematic control algorithm for shunt controller of UPQC is shown in Figure 4.

3.2. Control algorithm for series controller
The series controller of UPQC mainly stabilizes or conditions the load voltage, which are the main
criteria for sensitive loads. The control circuit to generate gate pulses to series converter of UPQC is shown
in Figure 5. The three-phase source voltage is fed to three-phase phase locked loop (PLL) to get the
information of phase angle. The phase angle obtained from PLL and the three-phase source voltage signal is
processed to Clarke’s transformation block where corresponding equations transform three-phase source
voltage signals in to two co-ordinate signals in ‘d-q’ terms thus obtaining actual d-coordinate of voltage
signal and actual q-coordinate of voltage signal. The actual values are compared to reference ‘d-q’ signals
and the error is processed to PI controller which yields reference signals. These voltage reference signals in
‘d-q’ coordinates along with phase angle information from PLL are processed to inverse transformation
where again ‘d-q’ coordinates are transformed back to ‘abc’ signals. The three co-ordinates signals are fed to
PWM generator to generate triggering pulses to switches of series converter of UPQC. The over-all diagram
of 5-level UPQC with control algorithms is illustrated in Figure 6. Table 2 illustrates system parameters used
for simulation analysis.

4. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
4.1. UPQC compensating sag and harmonics
Figure 7 illustrates the power system parameters with UPQC showing source voltage, UPQC
compensating voltage and Load voltage. Source voltage is programmed to contain sag in voltage during 0.3
seconds to 0.5 seconds. During this particular sag period, the load also should be affected with sag but UPQC
(series converter) injects compensating signals to power system through series transformer and conditions the
voltage to load. Compensating signals are injected during the sag period. The load voltage is not affected
with sag and is maintained at constant peak.
Figure 8 shows the system parameters with UPQC connected in power system. Three-phase source
voltage, source currents, load currents and compensating currents from UPQC are shown in Figure 8. As load
is non-linear type, load current draws non-linear currents which affect source currents. Compensating signals
from UPQC (shunt compensator) nullifies the affect of harmonics on source parameters. Source current is
nearer sinusoidal with very less distortion and load current is non-linear in nature. Source voltage contains
sag as explained in Figure 7.
Figure 9 illustrates the power factor on source side of power system. Source voltage and source
current have almost the same phase and power factor tends to unity. Current signal is added with gain (to
increase the amplitude) for better visualization.
Figure 10 shows the5-Level output before filtering from series controller of UPQC. CHB structure
gives out 5-level output which is further filtered. Phase voltage with 300V peak.

4.2. UPQC compensating swell and harmonics
Figure 14 illustrates the power system parameters with UPQC showing source voltage, UPQC
compensating voltage and Load voltage. Source voltage is programmed to contain swell in voltage during 0.3
seconds to 0.5 seconds. During this particular swell period, the load also should be affected with swell but
UPQC (series converter) injects compensating signals to power system through series transformer and
conditions the voltage to load. Compensating signals are injected during the sag period. The load voltage is
not affected with sag and is maintained at constant peak.
Figure 15 shows the system parameters with UPQC connected in power system. Three-phase source
voltage, source currents, load currents and compensating currents from UPQC are shown in Figure 15. As
load is non-linear type, load current draws non-linear currents which affect source currents. Compensating
signals from UPQC (shunt compensator) nullifies the affect of harmonics on source parameters. Source
current is nearer sinusoidal with very less distortion and load current is non-linear in nature. Source voltage
contains swell as explained in Figure 14.
Figure 16 illustrates the power factor on source side of power system. Source voltage and source
current have almost the same phase and power factor tends to unity. Current signal is added with gain (to
increase the amplitude) for better visualization.

5. CONCLUSION
Worsen of voltage or current in power distribution system is due to large usage of non-linear
equipments and power electronic converters and due to load factors. UPQC is a FACTS based controller used
in power system to enhance the power quality. The paper presents 5-Level CHB structured UPQC for the
improvement of voltage and current in power distribution system. Series and shunt controllers of UPQC are5-
Level inverters, injecting compensating signals to condition the voltage and current respectively. Series
controller is controlled using voltage reference SRF control and shunt controller is controlle with PQ based
algorithm. Control algorithms with 5-level CHB UPQC are verified to compensate sag/swell in source
voltage with simultaneous harmonic suppression in source current. Harmonics in source current is maintained
within nominal values. Control algorithms are explained in detail.

A multilevel UPQC for voltage and current quality improvement in distribution system

  • 1. International Journal of Power Electronics and Drive System (IJPEDS) Vol. 10, No. 4, December 2019, pp. 1932~1943 ISSN: 2088-8694, DOI: 10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i4.pp1932-1943  1932 Journal homepage: http://iaescore.com/journals/index.php/IJPEDS A multilevel UPQC for voltage and current quality improvement in distribution system Veera Nagi Reddy. V1 , D. V Ashok Kumar2 , Venkata Reddy Kota3 1 Research Scholar, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, India 2 Department of EEE, Rajeev Gandhi Memorial College of Engineering and Technology, India 3 Department of of EEE, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, India Article Info ABSTRACT Article history: Received Feb 18, 2019 Revised May 12, 2019 Accepted Jul 8, 2019 Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) is substantial power conditioner in power system to filter the power system parameters with an objective to improve the quality of power delivered to the customers/utility point. This paper presents a multi-level UPQC to enhance the quality in power distribution system. The series and shunt controllers of UPQC gives out five leveled output which is further filtered to feed compensating signals to improve voltage and current profiles in power distribution system. Series and shunt controllers of UPQC are structured with cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) topology to deliver compensating signals. Two separate control strategies are employed to regulate the power switches of 5-level CHB series and shunt controllers of UPQC. Sag and swell in source voltage and harmonics in source current are strained with UPQC. The proposed system is developed and results are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

INTRODUCTION The Power quality definition differs for different sections in power system. To the power provider, power quality defines the standard of power supplied to the customer with respect to his ability with due reliability and regulation of voltage and frequency. To the consumer, the statement of quality in power [1-3] focus on their ability to utilize the supplied power with précised signal magnitude and shape. Power quality issues [4, 5] are not only associated with system efficiency and environmental issues but to uninterrupted supply and quality of power in the system. Some power quality problems are of short duration issues and some are long duration. If the power quality issue persists for less than one minute it is termed as short duration and if the problem persists for more than one minute, the power quality issue is termed to be long duration. Even a short-term power quality problem can degrade the system performance inducing unwanted operation of the power system. Worsen of voltage or current in power distribution system is due to large usage of non-linear equipments and power electronic converters. Power electronic converters like rectifiers, thyristor converters are non-linear type of loads and produce large disturbance in ac mains. There are two approaching techniques to the mitigation of voltage and current quality problems. The first approaching technique is load conditioning, which fortifies that the operating equipment is made insensitive to power disturbances, which in turn allows the operation even under significant current and voltage distortion.

Int J Pow Elec & Dri Syst ISSN: 2088-8694  A multilevel UPQC for voltage and current quality improvement in distribution system (Veera Nagi Reddy.V) 1933 Power quality is improved using FACTS [6-10] devices like DVR [11-15], DSTATCOM [16-22], UPQC and many more. UPQC is a combination of back-to-back series-shunt controllers connected with a common DC-Link voltage and combines the performance of DVR and DSTATCOM. UPQC [23-26] enhances the system performance filtering out the disturbances like sag/swell in source voltage and ensures load is supplied with constant voltage. UPQC also reduces the distortions (due to harmonics) in source currents that are produced due to non-linear load connections. Block representation of UPQC in power system is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Block representation of UPQC in power system This paper presents a multi-level UPQC to enhance the quality in power distribution system. The series and shunt controllers of UPQC gives out five leveled output which is further filtered to feed compensating signals to improve voltage and current profiles in power distribution system. Series and shunt controllers of UPQC are structured with cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) topology to deliver compensating signals. Sag/swell in source voltage and harmonics in source current are strained with UPQC. 2. CASCADED H-BRIDGE FIVE-LEVEL UPQC Conventional square-wave inverter yields square wave output, which contains very large quantity of harmonics. This insists for high sized filters to tune the output to bring sinusoidal form. Cost and size of filter increases, which becomes a major drawback while using conventional square-wave inverters. Multi-level inverter draws attention due to its meritorious characteristics giving out leveled output. Levelled output requires less sized filters as compared to conventional square-wave inverters. Cascaded H- Bridge topology of multi-level inverters is one of the finest structure requiring no clamping devices or elements. The structure of Cascaded H-Bridge topology is simple in onstruction but requires more number of DC sources to drive each individual H-Bridge cell. A five-level cascaded H-Bridge structure consists of two H-Bridge cells cascaded with each individual H-Bridge cell is driven by DC source. Five-level cascaded H-Bridge structure of multi-level inverters is shown in Figure 2. Five-level output voltage in phase of cascaded H-Bridge is also shown in Figure 2. The total DC link voltage splits across two H-Bridge cells and by sequential triggering of power switches gives out five-level output. Table 1 illustrates the switching sequence of 5-level Cascaded H-Bridge with respect to power switches in Figure 2. Table 1.

Cascaded H-Bridge structure of multi-level inverters Figure 3 represents the 5-level UPQC connected in distribution system. In multi-level UPQC, both series and shunt controllers are 5-level CHB structured and only one-phase of CHB structured 5-level topology of series and shunt converters are represented for simplicity. Both the 5-level topology of series and shunt converters of UPQC is connected with a common DC-link capacitor. Both 5-level series and shunt controllers are controlled with a controller that gets feedback from source voltage and load current. Controller generates reference currents and triggering of power switches is done using pulse generator. Figure 3. 5-Level UPQC in power system 3. CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR UPQC 3.1. Control algorithm for shunt controller Shunt controller of UPQC mainly eliminates the harmonics in source currents. The reference currents to generate pulses to power switches of shunt controller in UPQC are produced from conventional ‘PQ’ theory. Actual DC-Link voltage is compared to reference value and the error is processed to PI controller to generate power loss component. Actual active power measured before is processed to summation block where power loss component (from PI controller) and actual active power are compared to generate one of the reference current signals in two co-ordinate system. Inverse transformation gives out the compensating reference signals. The compensating reference signlas are compared to line currents from power system to yield source reference currents. The obtained source reference currents are again compared to actual source currents to give out PWM reference signal. PWM reference signal when overlapped with level shifted carrier (LSCPWM pattern) signals produces pulses to power switches in shunt controller of UPQC. The complete schematic control algorithm for shunt controller of UPQC is shown in Figure 4.

Control algorithm for shunt controller 3.2. Control algorithm for series controller The series controller of UPQC mainly stabilizes or conditions the load voltage, which are the main criteria for sensitive loads. The control circuit to generate gate pulses to series converter of UPQC is shown in Figure 5. The three-phase source voltage is fed to three-phase phase locked loop (PLL) to get the information of phase angle. The phase angle obtained from PLL and the three-phase source voltage signal is processed to Clarke’s transformation block where corresponding equations transform three-phase source voltage signals in to two co-ordinate signals in ‘d-q’ terms thus obtaining actual d-coordinate of voltage signal and actual q-coordinate of voltage signal. The actual values are compared to reference ‘d-q’ signals and the error is processed to PI controller which yields reference signals. These voltage reference signals in ‘d-q’ coordinates along with phase angle information from PLL are processed to inverse transformation where again ‘d-q’ coordinates are transformed back to ‘abc’ signals. The three co-ordinates signals are fed to PWM generator to generate triggering pulses to switches of series converter of UPQC. The over-all diagram of 5-level UPQC with control algorithms is illustrated in Figure 6. Table 2 illustrates system parameters used for simulation analysis. Figure 5.

UPQC compensating sag and harmonics Figure 7 illustrates the power system parameters with UPQC showing source voltage, UPQC compensating voltage and Load voltage. Source voltage is programmed to contain sag in voltage during 0.3 seconds to 0.5 seconds. During this particular sag period, the load also should be affected with sag but UPQC (series converter) injects compensating signals to power system through series transformer and conditions the voltage to load. Compensating signals are injected during the sag period. The load voltage is not affected with sag and is maintained at constant peak. Figure 8 shows the system parameters with UPQC connected in power system. Three-phase source voltage, source currents, load currents and compensating currents from UPQC are shown in Figure 8. As load is non-linear type, load current draws non-linear currents which affect source currents. Compensating signals from UPQC (shunt compensator) nullifies the affect of harmonics on source parameters. Source current is nearer sinusoidal with very less distortion and load current is non-linear in nature. Source voltage contains sag as explained in Figure 7. Figure 9 illustrates the power factor on source side of power system. Source voltage and source current have almost the same phase and power factor tends to unity. Current signal is added with gain (to increase the amplitude) for better visualization. Figure 10 shows the5-Level output before filtering from series controller of UPQC.
