Unified Power Flow Controller for Power Flow Control

Abhinanda Sutradhar

Abstract


This paper presents the introduction of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) for solving power flow control problem in power system. The Unified Power Flow Controller is a distinctive FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) device that is the utmost sophisticated and complex power electronic equipment and has developed for the control and optimization of power flow and too to control the voltage in electrical power transmission system. The goal of this paper is to observe the skill of Unified Power Flow Controller for power flow control in a power system. Unified Power Flow Controller can handle both the real and reactive power flows at the sending-end and the receiving-end of the transmission line. When no UPFC is installed genuine and receptive power through the transmission line cannot be controlled.

 

Keywords - FACTS, UPFC, AC transmission.
