The main impact in the power distribution system is thequality of power which causes more distortion in the sourcedue to using nonlinear loads (power electronics loads)The main cause for distortion is harmonics notching andinterharmonics Distortion is that the fundamental frequencysine wave is represented as super position of all harmonicfrequency sine waves on fundamental sine wave The usageof power electronics loads is increased day by day whileconsidering that industries power electronics drives are usedfor the automation of the industries To compensate thedistortion in the system passive filters were used and whileusing the passive filters particular harmonic range is onlyeliminated In order to overcome the drawbacks of passivefilter for the elimination of power quality problems activefilters were used

Power quality problems are harmonics sag and swellwhich are mitigated by the active filters by the configurationof dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) distribution-static syn-chronous compensator (D-STATCOM) and unified powerquality conditioner (UPQC) [1] In this paper UPQC [2] isused for the mitigation of the power quality problems whichis the combination of series and shunt active filtersThe seriesand shunt active power filters are voltage and current sourceconverters which are controlled by the PWM signals whichare generated by the controllers

The shunt converter performs the process of elimination ofharmonics and series converter performs process of elim-ination of the voltage related problems The control blockdiagram for the synchronous reference frame theory is shownin Figure 2

31 Series Controller The control strategy of the series con-troller is achieved through the synchronous reference frametheory In this the series controller gets the reference signalfor the generation of pulse for the three-phase converter bycomparing the source voltage with distortion and constantvoltage The source voltage 119881

119904 119886119887119888and constant voltage 119881ref 119886119887119888

are converted to the 119881119904 1198891199020

and 119881ref 1198891199020 transform The 119881119904 1198891199020

and 119881ref 1198891199020 are compared to get the error signal which isagain converted to 1198811015840

119897119886119887119888is the reference signal for

the pulse generatorThe simulation diagram for synchronousreference frame theory based series controller is shown inFigure 3

4 Simulation and Results

The UPQC-CSC has the reactor as the DC link for the seriesand shunt converter and is controlled by the synchronousreference frame (SRF) theory and the pulse is generated bythe hysteresis band controllerThe shunt and series convertershave the function of compensating current and voltage prob-lems respectively The simulation of UPQC-CSC is shownin Figure 6 The output of UPQC-CSC is shown in Figure 7which shows the voltage with sag current with harmonicsand compensated voltage and current The compensation ofsag is shown in Figure 8 The shunt compensation is shownin Figure 9 The series compensation is shown in Figure 10

Figure 7 shows the simulation output of the UPQC-CSCsimulation for voltage sag mitigationThe sudden addition ofload in the system causes voltage sag for the time duration of004 to 008 s The compensation for the sag is by the seriesactive filter using the SRF theory for the reference signalgenerated and pulse generated by the hysteresis band andgiven to the IGBTs in the filter

The compensation of the voltage related problems is doneby the series active filter to maintain the system voltage 1
