The control performance of the VSCs is characterized by a minimum of six circuit open/close switches configurable in a minimum of seventeen combinations to enable the CUPQC to operate as shunt and series active power filters (APFs), unified power quality conditioner (UPQC), interline-UPQC (IUPQC), multi-converter UPQC (MC-UPQC) and generalized UPQC (GUPQC). The simulation and compensation performance analysis of CUPQC are based on PSCAD/EMTDC. {\^A}{\copyright} 2012 IEEE.}, keywords = {Compensation performance; Control performance; Distribution systems; Series active power filters; Unified power quality conditioners; Voltage-source converter, Power converters, Active filters}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84867954481&doi=10.1109\%2fICIAS.2012.6306240&partnerID=40&md5=99a09584a2d45ae1db2993d1ca286954}, isbn = {9781457719677}, author = {Eldin, S.
