The advantage of the proposed design is the flexibility to use it as Interline Unified Power Quality Conditioner (IUPQC) or a combination of shunt/series active power filters. The shunt active power filter is used for mitigation of current harmonics and reactive power compensation, while the series active filter is to maintain the load voltage as sinusoidal at the required level. Simulation of the distribution system model by using PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB/SIMULINK show the capability of the proposed UPQC to minimize the major power quality problems in a two feeder distribution system. © 2011 IEEE. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84857082183&doi=10.1109%2fNatPC.2011.6136382&partnerID=40&md5=9516293da73cf0c4f444d95d65199905 id_number: 10.1109/NatPC.2011.6136382 full_text_status: none publication: 2011 National Postgraduate Conference - Energy and Sustainability: Exploring the Innovative Minds, NPC 2011 place_of_pub: Perak refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781457718847 citation: Mohammed, B.S. and Rao, K.S.R. and Nallagownden, P.A.L.
