Abstract :

Combining active filters and renewable sources, in particular photovoltaic systems, allows us to take advantage of power enhancers in delivering high quality pollution free power to consumers. Due to the numerous applications of the solar system, the present study has taken into consideration a different type of its applications, so that by combining UPQC(unified power quality conditioner) and PV (Photovoltaic) systems in areas nearby loads, which have high potential of radiation, one can improve the quality of electrical energy delivered to consumers. Therefore, the present study is aimed to design a proposed system (UPQC-PV) considering control of the active filter, the photovoltaic system�s maximum power point tracking, and DC (Direct current)-link voltage control strategy. The results obtained from the present study indicated that compensating the parallel active filter leads to removal of the unwanted current at the end of the network and also compensating the series active filter leads to compensated voltage drop in the network.
