It injects a synchronized voltage into the distribution feeder to maintain a constant load voltage during source disturbances. Static Current Limiter (SCL)
The UPQC is considered the most powerful CPD as it combines both converters via a common DC link.
Available with or without energy storage; storage-based models use batteries or capacitors to provide the necessary active power for compensation. 2. Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM)
