This paper proposes the grid-connected renewable energy sources (RES) based power quality (PQ) improvement is accomplished using the power compensation device of a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). In recent days, power quality improvement is essential to the grid system and connected sensitive loads. The photovoltaic (PV) system is utilized to the power provision for the UPQC device through a boost converter which improves the Dc link voltage with pulse width modulation control. The inverters in the UPQC device are controlled using the model predictive controller (MPC), improving the voltage and power compensation. The proposed system results are validated using the MATLAB/Simulink environment.
