This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based neuro-sliding mode controller for the transient stability enhancement of multimachine power systems with unified power flow controller (UPFC). The UPFC is modeled as controllable loads. These controllable parameters are obtained using the sliding mode control (SMC) strategy. A PSO-based single neuron controller is used to adapt the p...

This proposed work aims at forming a switching level modeling of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) and analyzing its operation. The switching level modeling of UPFC is carried out using high power electronic devices such as IGBT based six pulse shunt and series converters. The operating performance of UPFC is demonstrated on Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system for different case studie...

On the basis of the linearized Phillips-Herffron model of a single-machine power system, a novel method for designing unified power flow controller (UPFC) based output feedback controller is presented. The design problem of output feedback controller for UPFC is formulated as an optimization problem according to with the time domain-based objective function which is solved by iteration particle...

A transformer-less unified power flow controller (UPFC) is a electronic device consisting of series and shunt voltage source converters (VSCs) that are not connected to common DC bus. It can control in medium (MV) distribution networks without the need for interfacing transformers. Hence there significant reduction size cost compared conventional UPFC. This paper investigates operating range UP...

This paper demonstrates the mitigation of power quality issues in a grid connected wind energy conversion system using UPFC. The procedure to compensate the power quality issues like voltage sag and harmonics are presented. A Frame work for 25 bus test system is developed in the ETAP & load flow analysis &harmonic analysis is performed. It is observed that the UPFC is effective in compensating ...

With the sharp increase in fluctuant sources power systems, deterministic flow (DPF) calculation has been unable to meet demands of practical applications; thus, probabilistic method becomes indispensable for reliable and stable operation systems. This paper adopts (PPF) method, which is a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) based on Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) analyze uncertainties Specifically, a...

In recent years, studies have been investigated the effectiveness of UPFC and TCSC in increasing power transfer capability. However, the effectiveness of these FACTS devices in increasing power transfer capability when the load is non-linear has not been established in a comparative study yet. This paper will explore the steady-state performance of the UPFC and TCSC as impedance compensation mo...
