Unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the most important flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices in power systems. It has many applications such as stability enhancement, power flow control, voltage support, etc. In this paper UPFC is used in order to control voltage. In this scope, UPFC is installed on a specified bus and the voltage of the proposed bus is controlled by using...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) is granting a new group of advanced power electronic devices emerging for enhancement of the power system performance. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a recent version of FACTS devices for power system applications. The back-up energy supply system incorporated with UPFC is providing a complete control of real and reactive power at the same time ...

In this paper, a new power frequency model for unified power flow controller (UPFC) is suggested with its dc link capacitor dynamics included. Four principal control strategies for UPFC series element main control and their impacts on system stability are discussed. The main control of UPFC series element can be realized as a combination of the four control functions. The supplementary control ...

Abstract: Unified power flow controller (UPFC) consists two converters. There are three purposes of this paper, firstly to illustrate the UPFC device based VSC designs, then to describe a decoupling method the UPFC’s controller into two separate control systems of the shunt and the series converters respectively in realizing an appropriate co-ordination between them. Finally, using the Matlab t...

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...
