Abstract: As the most powerful FACTS (flexible alternative current transmission systems) device, UPFC (unified power flow controller) could be considered as a multi-function controller which is capable of providing the performance of one or two FACTS device. this paper is the review of how UPFC is useful in controlling of power flow. For this we have used Matlab/Simulink model of the system having UPFC with wind and hydro generators which are seperated by double circuited transmission line.
Keywords- FACTS, UPFC, MATLAB, Compensators, oscillations, stabilizer, transient stability, voltage regulator
I. INTRODUCTION
The power stations, the transmission lines, and the distribution substations compose the power system, which produce and transport electric energy into every family and business. The rapid growth in electric energy demand and the demand for low-cost energy has historically led to remotely located generation plants. The situation has made it necessary to use transmission lines to transport electric energy to the end consumers. To increase the system reliability, redundant lines exists in power transmission system. Inherent in the electric energy demand is the demand variation and non-storability. The demand characteristics require that the power flow on a particular transmission line to be controllable in a multi-path transmission network. The Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) are a group of power electronics devices specially designed to address the need to enhance the use and performance of the electric utility grid. A FACTS device is described by IEEE as “a power electronic based system and other static equipment that provide control of one or more AC transmission system parameters to enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability.” [5]
