ABSTRACT:

our project deals with the control strategy for a Unified Power Quality Conditioner. This
control strategy is used in 3 phase ac systems. The UPQC device combines a shunt-active
filter together with a series-active filter in a back- to-back configuration, to simultaneously
compensate the supply voltage and the load current. It presents a control strategy for shunt-
active filter that guarantees sinusoidal, balanced and minimized source currents even if under
unbalanced or distorted system voltages.Then, this control strategy was extended to develop
a control strategy for series-active filter. Now, this control strategy develops the integration
principles of shunt current compensation and series voltages compensation, both based on
some modern algorithms. Simulation results are presented to validate the proposed UPQC
control strategy.
