UPFC in order to Enhance the Power System Reliability

Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8

Abstract

The maintenance and reliability of the power system has become a major aspect of study. The solution is the use of FACTS devices especially the use of UPFC. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the most widely used FACTS device to control the power flow and to optimize the system stability in the transmission line. It is used to control the power flow in the transmission systems by controlling the impedance, voltage magnitude and phase angle. This controller offers advantages in terms of static and dynamic operation of the power system. The UPFC with its various modes of operation is understood. Second, the operation of control system used in its converters is also studied. Finally by help of modeling of a power system in SIMULINK / MATLAB SIMPOWERSYSTEM and by installing single phase UPFC in transmission link, its use as power flow controller and voltage injection and constructing a lab scale model of UPFC is discussed also
