This paper presents a novel approach for mitigating power quality issues in transmission lines using a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) equipped with fuzzy logic-based control. Power quality disturbances such as voltage sags, swells, harmonics, and interruptions can significantly affect the performance of sensitive loads and compromise the reliability of the power system. The proposed UPQC system integrates both series and shunt active power filters to compensate for voltage and current disturbances simultaneously, ensuring enhanced power quality. Fuzzy logic control is employed to dynamically adjust the UPQC parameters based on the real-time system conditions, enabling efficient and adaptive performance under various fault scenarios. The design and simulation of the proposed UPQC system are implemented using MATLAB/Simulink software. Extensive simulations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the fuzzy logic-based control strategy in mitigating different types of faults in transmission lines. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements in power quality, validating the efficacy of the proposed approach. The proposed UPQC design with fuzzy logic control offers a promising solution for enhancing power quality and ensuring the reliable operation of transmission systems in the presence of diverse fault conditions.
