Optimal utilization of UPQC using Rao-2 Algorithm

Abstract

Nowadays for compensation for various power quality issues a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is found the most suitable and effective compensating device. Variable phase angle control method used to control both power electronic converters (PEC) improves the utilization making the UPQC efficient and economical. Rao-2 algorithm is used to optimize the utilization of UPQC in this research paper. The superiority of the Rao-2 algorithm over the JAYA algorithm is demonstrated through a comparison of the output results. This article will aid researchers in the development of improved control systems based on optimization techniques for the most efficient use of UPQC.
