Construction and Performance Investigation of Three-Phase Solar PV and

Battery Energy Storage System Integrated UPQC
Abstract:
In this project, to mitigate the power quality problems existed in the grid and the harmonics
penetrated by the non-linear loads, a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) is proposed.
The UPQC is integrated with Photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
Generally, the PV system supplies the active power to the load. However, if the PV is unable to
supply the power then the BESS activates and provides power especially during the longer-term
voltage interruption. The standalone PV-UPQC system is less reliable compared to a hybrid PV-
BESS system because of its instability and high environment-dependency. Therefore, BESS will
improve the voltage support capability continuously in the longer-term, reduce the complexity of
the DC-link voltage regulation algorithm, and keep producing clean energy. The phase
synchronization operation of the UPQC controller is directed by a Self-Tuning Filter (STF)
integrated with the Unit Vector Generator (UVG) technique. Implementation of STF will make
sure the UPQC can successfully operate under unbalanced and distorted grid voltage conditions.
Thus, the requirement of a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is omitted and the STF-UVG is utilized to
produce the synchronization phases for the series and shunt Active Power Filter (APF)
compensator in UPQC controller. Finally, the proposed STF-UVG method is compared with the
conventional Synchronous References Frame (SRF-PLL) method based UPQC to show the
significance of the proposed technique. Several case studies are further considered to validate the
study in MATLAB-Simulink software.

Keywords: Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), Power Quality, Self-Tuning Filter (STF),
Solar Photovoltaic (PV), Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC).

Existing System:

In the existing system, the SRF-PLL is utilized to produce the synchronization phases for the
UPQC controller.

Disadvantages:

Conventional SRF-PLL is not capable of dealing with unbalanced and distorted voltage grid
condition.

Proposed System:
In the proposed system, the STF integrated with the UVG technique (STF-UVG) is utilized to
produce the synchronization phases for the UPQC controller to address the drawbacks of the
conventional PLL.
