Assessment of 3-Phase Photovoltaic Integrated UPQC for Load Unbalancing Condition

Abstract

Power Quality (PQ) problems have turn out to be an imperative area under discussion and examination for the consumers, manufacturers are well awakened to understand the impacts of the problems. The custom power appliances are employed to diminish several of the PQ hitches depending upon the obligations. The proposed research study designs a UPQC system with the integration of solar array to provide the two-fold assistances in the face of clean energy generations along with the improvement of PQ of the electricity grid in the case of distributed generation, protects sensitive loads from source side as well as grid side consequences or disturbances with the help of custom power device including back to back connected shunt and series converter The system is tested and analyzed for load unbalancing condition, which may occur due to the sudden switching of heavy load The activity of the system has been evaluated in MATLAB under load unbalance situations.
