The present paper describes the steady-state response and control of power in transmission line equipped with FACTS devices. Detailed simulations are carried out on two-machine systems to illustrate the control features of these devices and their influence to increase power transfer capability and improve system reliability. The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC) and ...

-This paper presents an optimal feed-back switching concept for the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) based damping controllers for damping low frequency oscillations in a power system. Detailed investigations have been carried out considering switching between two optimal damping controllers; one with respect to modulating index of shunt inverter and another with respect to modulating index...

Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) occur in power systems because of lack of the damping torque in order to dominance to power system disturbances as 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 and increase transient stability. So UPFC may be used to dam...

High-voltage and power capability of multilevel converters better used for unified power-flow controller (UPFC application). The three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) converter allows back-to-back connection as the UPFC shunt and series converters than other multilevel topologies. In place of the pulse width-modulated (PWM) multilevel control schemes, constant dc-link voltage and balanced vol...

A comprehensive approach to the design of UPFC controllers (power-flow controller, DC-voltage regulator and damping controller) is presented. Studies reveal that damping is adversely affected by the incorporation of a DC-voltage regulator. Investigations were carried out to understand the relative effectiveness of modulation of thc UPFC control signals inR, SB, niE and <5£ on damping of the sys...
