A Novel Control Method for Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) Under Non-Ideal Mains Voltage and Unbalanced Load Conditions Metin Kesler Engin Ozdemir Kocaeli University Technical Education Faculty, 41380 Umuttepe Kocaeli Turkey Kocaeli University Technical Education Faculty, 41380 Umuttepe Kocaeli Turkey [email protected] [email protected] II. Abstract--This paper presents a new control method to compensate the power quality problems through a three-phase unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) under non-ideal mains voltage and unbalanced load conditions. The performance of proposed control system was analyzed using simulations with Matlab/Simulink program, and experimental results with the hardware prototype. The proposed UPQC system can improve the power quality at the point of common coupling (PCC) on power distribution system under non-ideal mains voltage and unbalanced load conditions. I. INTRODUCTION Unified power quality control was widely studied by many researchers as an eventual method to improve power quality of electrical distribution system [1-3]. The function of unified power quality conditioner is to compensate supply voltage flicker/imbalance, reactive power, negative-sequence current, and harmonics. In other words, the UPQC has the capability of improving power quality at the point of installation on power distribution systems or industrial power systems. Therefore, the UPQC is expected to be one of the most powerful solutions to large capacity loads sensitive to supply voltage flicker/imbalance [2]. The UPQC consisting of the combination of a series active power filter (APF) and shunt APF can also compensate the voltage interruption if it has some energy storage or battery in the dc link [3]. vTa vSa + vSabc 3∼ RS Mains Voltage The shunt APF is usually connected across the loads to compensate for all current-related problems such as the reactive power compensation, power factor improvement, current harmonic compensation, and load unbalance compensation [1-2], whereas the series APF is connected in a series with the line through series transformers. It acts as controlled voltage source and can compensate all voltagerelated problems, such as voltage harmonics, voltage sag, voltage swell, flicker, etc. iTabc vLa = iSabc iCa iSa = vTabc iLabc RL RT LT Series APF CDC Shunt APF + vLabc PCC LS iLa Zload LL RC LC Nonlinear Load iCabc Fig. 1. Unified power quality conditioner configuration. A. Reference Voltage Signal Generation for Series APF The function of the series APF is to compensate the voltage disturbance in the source side, which is due to the fault in the distribution line at the PCC. The series APF control algorithm calculates the reference value to be injected by the series APF transformers, comparing the positive-sequence component with the load side line voltages. The proposed series APF reference voltage signal generation algorithm is shown in Fig. 3. In equation (1), supply voltages vSabc are transformed to d-q-0 coordinates. In this paper a new control algorithm for the UPQC system is optimized without measuring transformer voltage, load and filter current, so that system performance is improved. The proposed control technique has been evaluated and tested under non-ideal mains voltage and unbalanced load conditions using Matlab/Simulink software. The proposed method is also validated through experimental study. 978-1-4244-4783-1/10/$25.00 ©2010 IEEE UPQC CONTROL ALGORITHM The UPQC consists of two voltage source inverters connected back to back with each other sharing a common dc link. One inverter is controlled as a variable voltage source in the series APF, and the other as a variable current source in the shunt APF. Fig. 1 shows a basic system configuration of a general UPQC consisting of the combination of a series APF and shunt APF. The main aim of the series APF is harmonic isolation between load and supply; it has the capability of voltage flicker/ imbalance compensation as well as voltage regulation and harmonic compensation at the utility-consumer PCC. The shunt APF is used to absorb current harmonics, compensate for reactive power and negative-sequence current, and regulate the dclink voltage between both APFs.

Reference Current Signal Generation for Shunt APF The shunt APF described in this paper used to compensate the current harmonics and reactive power generated by the nonlinear load. The shunt APF reference current signal generation block diagram is shown in Fig. 3. The instantaneous reactive power (p-q) theory is used to control of shunt APF in real time.

The proposed UPQC control algorithm has ability to compensate both harmonics and reactive power of the load 376 and neutral current is also eliminated.

The UPQC consists of two back to back connected voltage source inverters and three DSP processors for controlling shunt and series APF’s and computer communication for all system control functions. The dc link of both APFs is connected to a common dc capacitor of 1100 microfarad and 700 V dc. All of the circuit parameters and experimental conditions are set up exactly the same as the simulation conditions. Although the proposed control scheme cannot be studied experimentally for unbalanced mains voltage conditions, an optimal control can be designed to eliminate this problem, which will have been discussed as a future work. 0.4 iLn(A) Fig. 5.

Before UPQC After UPQC Operation The source and load voltages are sensed using LEM LV 25P voltage sensors, whereas, all the currents are sensed using LEM LA-55P Hall-Effect current sensors. The series and shunt inverters are built using SEMIX 101GD128Ds sixpack IGBT switches from Semikron. CONCEPT 6SD106EI and Semikron SKHI 61 IGBT drivers are used for series and shunt APF respectively. The IGBT driver modules have short circuit and over current protection functions for every IGBT and provides electrical isolation for all PWM signals applied to the digital signal processor (DSP). The proposed experimental control system consists of three DSP cards from TI (TMS320F28335). Three DSP cards are designed to control shunt and series APF and one of them is responsible for all system operation and power quality analysis. Both inverters use the variable frequency hysteresis band controller.

The aim of the UPQC system is not only to compensate for the current Fig. 9 shows source voltage and current waveforms before filtering. After compensation, source current becomes sinusoidal and in phase with the source voltage; hence, both harmonics and reactive power are compensated simultaneously. Before harmonic compensation, the THD of the supply current is 29.13% and after the harmonic compensation, it is reduced to 5.3% which complies with the IEEE 519 harmonic standards.

[8] CONCLUSION This paper describes a new control strategy used in the UPQC system, which mainly compensate reactive power and voltage and current harmonics in the load under non-ideal mains voltage and unbalanced load current conditions. The proposed control strategy use only loads and mains voltage measurements for series APF based on the synchronous reference frame theory. The instantaneous reactive power theory is used for shunt APF control algorithm by measuring mains voltage and currents. The conventional methods require measurements of the load, source and filter voltages and currents. The simulation results show that, when unbalanced and nonlinear load current or unbalanced and distorted mains voltage conditions, the above control algorithms eliminate the impact of distortion and unbalance of load current on the power line, making the power factor unity. Meanwhile, the series APF isolates the loads voltages and source voltage, the shunt APF provides three-phase balanced and rated currents for the loads. [9] [10] [11] [12] The experimental results obtained from a laboratory model of 10 kVA, along with a theoretical analysis, are shown to verify the viability and effectiveness of the proposed UPQC control method. 379 H.
