%X This paper proposes a novel convertible unified power quality conditioner (CUPQC) by employing three voltage source converters (VSCs) which are connected to a multi-bus/multi-feeder distribution system to mitigate current and voltage imperfections. 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. © 2012 IEEE.
