Among all FACTS devices, the unified power flow controller (UPFC) is considered to be the most versatile device. This is due to its capability to control all the transmission system parameters (impedance, voltage magnitude, and phase angle). With the growing interest in UPFC, the attention to develop a mathematical model has increased. Several models were introduced for UPFC in literature for d...

FACTS devices are used to control the power flow, to increase the transmission capacity and to optimize the stability of the power system. One of the most widely used FACTS devices is Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). The controller used in the control mechanism has a significantly effects on controlling of the power flow and enhancing the system stability of UPFC. According to this, the ca...

In this paper, a D-Q model of fuzzy based unified power flow controller (UPFC) has been proposed to control the active and reactive power flow through the transmission lines. Power loss reduction also intends with the proposed UPFC controller. The UPFC’s shunt and series controllers are developed based on D-Q fuzzy logic (FL) controller, which has been designed in PSCAD environment as an indepe...

In this paper the performance of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is investigated in controlling the flow of power over the transmission line. This research deals with digital simulation of standard IEEE 14-bus power system using UPFC to improve the real and reactive power flow control through a transmission line by placing UPFC at the sending end using computer simulation. When no UPFC is ...

Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) occur in power systems because of lack of the damping torque in order to dominance to power system disturbances as an example of change in mechanical input power. In the recent past Power System Stabilizer (PSS) was used to damp LFO. FACTs devices, such as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), can control power flow, reduce sub-synchronous resonance and increase...

This paper presents a comprehensive approach for the design of UPFC controllers (i.e. power flow controller, DC voltage regulator and damping controller) for a multimachine system. UPFC controllers have been designed in the presence of conventional PSS. The interaction between the UPFC controllers and PSS has been studied. Investigations reveal that the system damping gets adversely affected wi...
