Unified Power Quality Conditioner

Technology Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) is seeking companies to license a novel 12kVA Uni­ed Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) for power quality enhancement. The UPQC allows optimal control of a power electronics-based conditioner. It comprises both shunt and series elements (inverters) that compensate for sags/swells, unbalance and distortion (harmonics) in the supply current and supply voltage respectively. The UPQC delivers cost savings, increased reliability and enhanced electrical power network functionality. It also employs modular control software and novel techniques for load side short circuit protection of series inverters. Download Unified Power Quality Conditioner pdf.
