Cascade PI-Fuzzy based Position Optimization of Nonal Switched UPQC with DG for Power Quality Enhancement in IEEE 14 Bus System
Authors: ,
Abstract: An Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), owning the composition of shunt and series Active
Power Filter (APF), has become a standard accepted solution in the area of current and voltage harmonics
mitigation of a power system network. This paper furnishes a novel approach of nonal switched UPQC topology,
supported with Distributed Generation (DG), aiming at the power quality enhancement and position
optimization, placed at different locations in a standard IEEE 14 bus system. In addition to this, behaviour of
the proposed topology is analysed using novel Cascade Proportional Integral (PI) - Fuzzy and Space Vector
Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) as control algorithms and the outcomes are compared with the historical
twelve switch UPQC topology. Simulation results of the proposal modelled in MATLAB/SIMULINK reveals
the superiority of nonal switched UPQC and the optimal position of the proposed conditioner, for mitigating the
harmonic issues in the standard IEEE 14 bus system.
