Abstract

This paper deals with Minimum VA rating handled by a Unified Power Quality Conditioner, which consists of Series and Shunt Active Power Filter. The Series Active Filter is Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which regulates the voltage at the point of common coupling with minimum VA loading. The Shunt Active Filter is Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) which compensates the reactive power and eliminates the load current harmonics from the source current. In this proposed method the total power handled by UPQC is minimum than the other conventional methods and it has been investigated by simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
