This paper proposes a modified connection for a UPQC to improve the power quality of two feeders in a distribution system is the Interline Unified Power Quality Conditioner (IUPQC). IUPQC specifically aims at the integration of series VSC and Shunt VSC to provide high quality power supply by means current & voltage harmonic elimination and voltage sag/swell compensation in a of two feeders in a distribution system, so that improved power quality can be made available at the point of common coupling. The structure, control and capability of the IUPQC are discussed in this paper. The efficiency of the proposed configuration has been verified through simulation using MATLAB/ SIMULINK.
