LADRC-MPC strategy for three-level UPQC by CAI Xiuwen, ZHAO Tao, ZHANG Mingzhou, TAO Yibin, LI Guipu

“…Given the complexity of the unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) system and the difficulty in its control, a single control strategy is no longer sufficient to address various faults in the power grid system. Consequently, a hybrid control strategy combining linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) and model predictive control (MPC) is employed in this paper. …”
