| Abstract |
The integration of power electronics in the current power system has presented various challenges,such as unbalance, harmonics, and voltage disturbances. To tackle these issues, this paper introduces a novel UPQC topology with integrated battery storage and solar PV using the 3-port converter. The 3-port converter being part of a reduced switch scheme, achieves the above objectives with only twelve power electronic switching devices. This work describes the operation of the proposed configuration alongwith detailed emphasis on its control aspects. This work also proposes a modified phase angle control algorithm to control the phase angle of the series injected voltage under various grid and load conditions, comparing different UPQC control strategies. The operation of the proposed configuration with the above features and objectives is validated in MATLAB Simulink. |
