Abstract: In order to achieve the aim of supplying constant supply of power, renewable energy systems (RES), like solar, photovoltaic (PV), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and wind energy is researched. The main objective of this study is to provide a method for increasing power quality with hybrid access points to RES using optimal FOPID controller settings and UPQC. Non-linear system load and failure conditions seem to be the root of PQ issues with HRES. The UPQC uses series and shunt filtering methods to resolve the PQ issues with the aid of hybrid Honey Badger-salp swarm optimiser (HBD-SWO) method that inherits the qualities of SSA and HBA methods. The new technique involves fine-tuning the FOPID controllers' variables of the shunt and series devices of UPQC. The efficiency of the proposed method is compared with that of conventional methods to prove the efficacy of the proposed approach in PQ enhancement.
