Security Enhancement through the Allocation of a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) in a Power Network for Congestion Management

The electricity demand is continuously increasing, so a most efficient use of the current power system's capacity desired. Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTSs), recently developed transmission technology, are widely used to boost transfer ability long-distance line networks and enhance consistency systems. FACTS devices can lead reduced flows on heavily loaded lines, targeted bus voltage levels, better network stability. In this study, an optimization method based optimal position Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) suggested system security. It decided that real flow best place for UPFC in instance. placement during congestion has been determined using Genetic Algorithm (GA) sensitivity useful index. Congestion produced performance evaluated. proposed solutions evaluated IEEE 30 before being implemented MATLAB. case congestion, security after connecting UPFC. effectiveness solution was verified with help World Simulator 16.0.
