This Paper presents novel FPGA based control platform for PV fed Unified Power Quality Conditioner (PV-fed UPQC). Concept of PV-UPQC integration; Control algorithms and its implementation through FPGA based controller is discussed here. FPGA based control platform through Xilinx system Generator is adopted over the conventional way of design. Conventional UPQC is unable to provide solutions for voltage interruption issues. However PV-UPQC configuration improves the power quality in the power system by compensating the current harmonics; voltage sags/swells and voltage interruption. The operation of PV-UPQC configuration is simulated through Xilinx system generator environment and results are presented. Experimental setup of PV-UPQC is developed in the laboratory for verification.
