Power Quality Improvement in Power System using UPFC

Occurrence of a fault in a power system causes transients. To stabilize the system, Power System Stabilizer PSS and Automatic Voltage Regulator AVR are used. Load flow analysis is done to analyze the transients introduced in the system due to the occurrence of faults. The Flexible Alternating Current Transmission FACTS devices such as UPFC are becoming important in suppressing power system oscillations and improving system damping. The UPFC is a solid state device, which can be used to control the active and reactive power. This paper considers a power system as a case study for investigating the performance of UPFC is achieving stability. By using a UPFC the oscillation introduced by the faults, the voltage deviations and speed deviations can be damped out quickly than a system without a UPFC. The effectiveness of UPFC in suppressing power system oscillation is investigated by analyzing their voltage deviations and reactive power support in this paper. A proportional integral PI controller has been employed for the UPFC. It is also shown that a UPFC can control independently the real and reactive power flow in a transmission line.
