A novel algorithm is proposed for power angle control (PAC) to improve power quality (PQ) in distribution system. This algorithm reduces mathematical complication and its response time. It has aimed to make the designs of controller. The new concept is incorporates on triangle rules of vector addition/subtraction. The mathematical approach makes the algorithm efficient and comprehensive. The shunt voltage source converter (VSC) of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is controlled using instantaneous symmetrical component theory (ISCT). The ISCT enables UPQC to handle unbalanced and non-linear loads. The complete phaser diagram has been shown for various voltage conditions. A vector addition and subtraction-based mathematical calculation has been derived for estimation of different parameters of the proposed system. Proposed PAC can improve PQ in four wire distribution system with maximum utilisation of series VSC of UPQC. A simulation study for voltage sag/swell with the new algorithm for PAC verifies the improved performance of the system. Results have been discussed in detail.
