Abstract: 
In this paper, a general powerful circuit of a universal custom power conditioner (UCPC), which is used to improve power reliability and quality applied to distribution networks, is presented in detail. The UCPC is based on series and shunt tri-level PWM converters with a battery energy storage system (BESS) for multi-function operations such as harmonic elimination, reactive power control, voltage sags compensation and uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The basic algorithm of system is deadbeat control with a repetitive compensation strategy based on the voltage space vector PWM method. Some simulation results are use to verify that UCPC can synthetically fulfill different compensation functions.

Introducing custom power

TL;DR: The concept of custom power is now becoming familiar as mentioned in this paper and it describes the value-added power that electric utilities and other service providers will offer their customers in the future The improved level of reliability of this power, in terms of reduced interruptions and less variation, will stem from an integrated solution to present problems, of which a prominent feature will be the application of power electronic controllers to utility distribution systems and/or at the supply end of many industrial and commercial customers and industrial parks.

An universal active power line conditioner

Abstract: The power circuit of a general active power line conditioner (APLC) is based on series and shunt power converters that share a single DC link. In the present paper, a generic control concept for these series and shunt converters is proposed. It is based on the instantaneous real and imaginary power theory. In fact, the resulting equipment deals with the custom power and FACTS concepts. This equipment incorporates not only the compensation functions at the fundamental frequency like a unified power flow controller (UPFC), but also provides active harmonic mitigation capabilities. For these reasons, the compensator proposed here is called the universal active power line conditioner (UPLC). Simulation and experimental results are presented to confirm that the new approach has better performance than those obtained by controllers based on traditional concepts of active and reactive power.
