Abstract

As non-linear loads are used in a greater amount, the electric power system faces serious issues affecting the Power Quality (PQ). Among the various PQ issues, this article addresses the issues like voltage, sag, swell and harmonics; UPFC (Unified Power Flow Conditioner) is utilized for solving such issues. In UPFC, the shunt and the series converters are interfaced together with a common dc-link. Integrating renewable energy with UPFC results in clean energy generation and also improvises the load side PQ. Here UPFC is integrated with WECS in which DFIG (Doubly Fed Induction Generator) is used as generator and Crow Search (CS) algorithm is utilized for retaining the WECS output. The shunt and the series converters are regulated with the assistance of cascaded fuzzy, and d-q theory is used for the generation of reference signal. The proposed work is simulated in MATLAB and the results were analysed in two cases; it has been revealed that the proposed work stands good in solving the PQ issues like harmonics, voltage sag and swell along with the compensation of reactive power. The THD is also observed as 2.3% which falls within the IEEE standard.
