Abstract
Electrical Power Quality (EPQ) is fetching more of a concern as smart grid technology advances in distribution systems. A proposal for MT-UPQC integration in a microgrid system (G) is presented here. This paper presents configurations of UPQC, MT-UPQC, UPQCµG and MT- UPQCµG and a comparison between them. MT-UPQCµG combines the advantages of both MT-UPQC and UPQCµG. The MT-UPQC can correct voltage quality issues, harmonic currents and reactive currents in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the user. On the MATLAB Simulink platform, a 3T-UPQCµG microgrid is constructed for simulation and verified the same. The obtained results of the simulation suggest that the proposed method is both effective and adaptable.
