JAYA based optimization strategy for UPQC PI tuning based on novel SRF-DSOGI PLL control

Abstract

In this work, a novel SRF-PLL and DSOGI-PLL with the JAYA based optimization approach is presented herein for the control of a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) system. The proposed UPQC system is linked to a three-phase distribution system that has nonlinear loads. Increased use of non-linear loads has contributed to harmonic effluence in power distribution systems and thus power quality issues have been elevated which is essential to be efficiently addressed. Since, the UPQC consists of a shunt and a series filters therefore, it is a most promising custom power device to mitigate power quality issues of instance voltage swell, sag, phase unbalance, current and voltage harmonics, DC-link voltage regulation, reactive power compensation etc. SRF-PLL and DSOGI-PLL perform grid synchronization and reference signal generation simultaneously in a single platform. Additionally, JAYA based optimization has been employed for determination of PI controller gains of both the controller. To validate the performance of UPQC and its controller, the complete UPQC system has been developed and fabricated in MATLAB/ Simulink as well as in hardware platform. The accuracy of simulation as well as hardware outcomes and their comparative power quality investigation is found to be satisfactory.
