<p>The Power quality of the electrical system is an important issue for industrial, commercial, and housing uses. An increasing request for high quality electrical power and an increasing number of distorting loads had led to increase the consideration of power quality by customers and utilities. The development and use of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTs) controllers in power transmission systems had led to many applications of these controllers. A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the FACTs elements which is used to control both active and reactive power flow of the transmission line. This paper tried to improve power quality using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based UPFC, where it used to control both active and reactive power flow, decreas the total harmonic distortion (THD), correct power factor, regulate line voltage and enhance transient stability. A comparison study of the performance between the system with a conventional PID controller and FLC has been done. The theoretical analysis has been proved by implementing the system using MATLAB/SIMULINK package.The Power quality of the electrical system is an important issue for industrial, commercial, and housing uses.

The power quality (PQ) is a major issue for both electrical utilities and their customers. The nonlinear loads cause PQ problems like current harmonics, voltage harmonics, frequency deviation, voltage sag and voltage swell. A unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is utilized in this research to minimize these PQ problems. The UPQC is made up of two active power filters (APFs), one of which is connected to the line in series and the other in parallel. The Unit Vector Template Generation (UVTG) approach is used to control the series APF, whereas the Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) technique is used to control the shunt APF. The compensating properties of a series-shunt APFs when the loads become imbalanced have been explored. The system performance has been tested under conditions current harmonics, voltage harmonics, voltage sag, and voltage swell. The voltage harmonics are identified and reparation in a series APF using the UVTG technique, whereas the harmonics and unbalanced currents are identified and reparation in a shunt APF using the SRF method. An of less than 5% is achieved by UPQC in simulations with unbalanced loads. The findings indicate that harmonic currents and supply voltage fluctuations were lessened by UPQC.
In light of the widespread usage of power electronics devices, power quality (PQ) has become an increasingly essential factor. Due to nonlinear characteristics, the power electronic devices produce harmonics and consume lag current from the utility. The UPQC is a device that compensates for harmonics and reactive power while also reducing problems related to voltage and current. In this work, a three-phase, three-wire UPQC is suggested to reduce voltage-sag, voltage-swell, voltage and current harmonics. The UPQC is composed of shunt and series Active Power Filters (APFs) that are controlled utilizing the Unit Vector Template Generation (UVTG) technique. Under nonlinear loads, the suggested UPQC system can be improved PQ at the point of common coupling (PCC) in power distribution networks. The simulation results show that UPQC reduces the effect of supply voltage changes and harmonic currents on the power line under nonlinear loads, where the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of load voltages and source currents obtained are less than 5%, according to the IEEE-519 standard.
Power electronic controllers for a flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) can offer a greater control of power flow, secure loading and damping of power system oscillations. A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is a one of FACTS elements that can provide VAR compensation, line impedance control and phase angle shifting. The UPFC consist of two fully controlled inverters, series inverter is connected in series with the transmission line by series transformer, whereas parallel inverter is connected in parallel with the transmission line by parallel transformer. The real and reactive power flow in the transmission line can be controlled by changing the magnitude and phase angle of the injected voltage produced by the series inverter. The basic function of the parallel inverter is to supply the real power demanded by series inverter through the common dc link. The parallel inverter can also generate or absorb controllable reactive power. This paper offers and discusses most papers that used a UPFC to improving the active and reactive power flow of the power systems.

As electrical grids have expanded significantly, so too has the load on network buses. This, however, causes voltage drops to occur at the load side of the grid. A voltage drop causes a system to become unstable, increases its power loss, and reduces the amount of power that it transfers before finally leading to a collapse. An on-load tap changing (OLTC) transformer can be used to prevent the negative effects of an increased load by restoring the load voltage to its base value when sudden disturbances occur in the source. However, incorrect OLTC placement can cause the system to become unstable and cause collapse. This is referred to as the reverse action phenomenon of an OLTC. Therefore, this present study examined improving the ability of an OLTC to increase system stability and prevent collapse. A simple radial power distribution system was modelled in MATLAB. The results indicate that the proposed model can increase system stability and prevent collapse.
