Abstract

Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) can fulfil multiple power quality control objectives such as needs of reactive power compensation, voltage flicker and harmonics current compensation. However UPQCs are quite expensive and therefore are not widely used. In this paper the potential of Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) in a V2G mode of operation is explained, which gives a low-cost solution for designing a virtual UPQC using PHEV charging station. A third order dynamic battery model is used here to represent the PHEV. Simulations have been carried out and demonstrated that PHEVs have the potential to work as a virtual UPQC to improve power quality.
