- Abstract
In this paper, a dual active bridge‐based unified power quality conditioner (DAB‐UPQC) is constructed to solve the bulky issue caused by a line‐frequency transformer (LFT) in conventional UPQC. Since there is no LFT, the constructed DAB‐UPQC is easier to realize modular manufacturing, which further increases the flexibility of system. After adding DAB, the UPQC will present two obvious changes as follows: (a) Almost all of the grid input current flows through the series converter, resulting in an increase in the current stress of switches in the series converter. (b) The dc link is allowed to contain both low‐ and high‐voltage amplitudes due to the voltage ratio of high‐frequency transformer in DAB. Considering these two changes, the operation behaviors of DAB‐UPQC are analyzed in detail, which has the valuable significance for designs of DAB, series and parallel converters. Additionally, the characteristics and implementation conditions of soft‐switching for DAB with single‐phase‐shift (SPS) modulation are analyzed and discussed, and the battery bank is integrated on the low‐voltage side of dc link to provide continuous power to the load in the event of the grid outage or failure. Finally, the operation performances of DAB‐UPQC under the conditions of grid voltage sag/swell, nonlinear load, and grid outage are verified by using a hardware‐in‐the‐loop (HIL) experimental platform.
