Abstract:
This research work depicts the addition of Unified
Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) with the Fuel cell
system for enhancing the power quality at the main side
irrespective of type of generation. This work reports the
various power quality issues normally occurred in a
distribution system. How successfully overcome the voltage
sag, voltage swell, unbalanced load issues, reduction of
harmonic content with UPQC described here. Usage of
different industrial loads causes numerous types of voltage
unbalances and severe effect on performance. The
conditions which are created in the distribution system
follow the magnitude of parameters yields to unsymmetrical
sag and swells.
The effective working of UPQC with fuel cell under
different conditions is simulated and the expected outcome is
achieved. This distinguished method presents a UPQC for
remunerating power quality conditions for three phase
system that incorporates DC/DC converter contribute by a
fuel cell at the DC link. The suitable series-shunt controller
is engaged for managing the UPQC under linear, non-linear
load conditions is also monitored. The functioning of the
presented method is simulated in MATLAB interface
