Abstract:

To address the power quality problems caused by power electronic loads, a two-leg topology-based transformerless unified power quality conditioner (TLTT-UPQC) is proposed, which can overcome the volume, weight, and magnetic saturation of power frequency transformer in the existing UPQCs, and can improve the power quality of the distribution network in a lightweight and highly flexible form to meet the high-quality electricity demand of loads. First, the working principle of TLTT-UPQC is analyzed from the perspective of circuit topology. Then, combined with theoretical analysis, the operating mechanisms of various power quality management functions are studied in scenarios such as grid voltage drop, rise and distortion, as well as resistor-inductance and nonlinear loads, based on which, the system control strategy is designed. Finally, a MATLAB-based simulation model is developed to verify the multifunctional operation performances of the TLTT-UPQC through simulation results.

Key words: power quality, transformerless unified power quality conditioner (UPQC), two-leg converter, power flow, multiple operating conditions
