Abstract
This research proposes a novel method of integrating solar battery systems with Unified electricity Quality Conditioners (UPQC) to improve electricity utilities' performance. Optimization techniques are employed in the proposed multi-level controller design for ensuring optimal energy management and enhancement of power quality. The system attempts to reduce power losses, ameliorate voltage sags/swells, and improve the overall efficiency of the stadium's electrical network by intelligently coordinating the functioning of solar batteries and UPQC. Power researchers have developed novel controllers and techniques in response to the challenges of attaining power quality caused by the mix of renewable sources, power electronic devices, non-linear, and unbalanced loads. This work uses the Boost and Buck Boost converters to produce an optimal tuned hybrid controller for the unified power quality conditioner connected to solar power and battery storage systems, based on an algorithm used in football leagues. SLO optimizes the Kp and Ki values of the shunt and series controllers as control variables in order to accomplish the intended purpose. The SLOHC performance study involved four test studies for different combinations of unbalanced and balanced loads Multilevel Inverter (MLI) arrangements were used by the UPQC. Through simulation tests, the efficacy of the suggested solution is illustrated, underscoring its potential to support more energy-efficient energy use and better power quality.
