Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a universal power quality conditioning system (UPQS) which consists of a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) extended by adding a shunt active filter at the load side. Such system has heiger harmonic compensation characteristic, since there are no problem associated with passive filter operation. Its main purpose is to compensate for supply voltage and load current imperfections, such as: sags, swells, interruptions, imbalance, flicker, harmonics, reactive currents and current unbalance. After determination of classical active filtering drawbacks, UPQS converter and control analysis is presented, together with results showings the UPQS modes of operation.

Analogue filter

Analogue filters are a basic building block of signal processing much used in electronics. Amongst their many applications are the separation of an audio signal before application to bass, mid-range, and tweeter loudspeakers; the combining and later separation of multiple telephone conversations onto a single channel; the selection of a chosen radio station in a radio receiver and rejection of others.

Power supply

A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The main purpose of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are separate standalone pieces of equipment, while others are built into the load appliances that they power. Examples of the latter include power supplies found in desktop computers and consumer electronics devices.

Electronic filter topology

Electronic filter topology defines electronic filter circuits without taking note of the values of the components used but only the manner in which those components are connected. Filter design characterises filter circuits primarily by their transfer function rather than their topology. Transfer functions may be linear or nonlinear. Common types of linear filter transfer function are; high-pass, low-pass, bandpass, band-reject or notch and all-pass.
