A new space vector pulse width modulated transformer less single-phase unified power quality conditioner

Emergence of solid-state switching devices, like thyristors, GTO's, IGBT's and etc, are widely used for controlling electric power in power electronic equipment for various purpose such as HVDC systems, computers etc. These devices draw disturbance in voltages and currents of both source side and distribution ends due to its non-linearity. This induce harmonics, reactive power, and excess neutral current cause the system to have less efficiency and reduction in power factor. In this paper transformer less single-phase unified power quality conditioner has been implemented to reduce the voltage and current distortions. The operation and control of single-phase transformer less three leg Unified power quality conditioner is investigated with the implementation of a new pulse width modulation method for solving the coupling problem introduced by common leg switches.
