ABSTRACT
Power Electronics technology: continuous and fast improvement FACTS : a promising concept for PS applications power flow can be flexibly controlled Variety of FACTS controllers

UPFC most interesting and versatile

UPFC : simultaneous and independent control of : line active power flow line reactive power flow impedance voltage

UPFC : a competent device Fundamental need : computation and control of power flow Project Proposed : method to calculate load flow for UPFC embedded power systems load flow eq. of PS including UPFC Algorithm based on NRLF

INTRODUCTION TO FACTS
Power system today : largely mechanically controlled low speed control no frequent initiation of control wear out quickly uncontrolled dynamic and steady state operation reduced security and quality of supply

FACTS technology :opportunities for controlling power and enhancing usable capacity collection of controllers

overcomes stability limits

FACTS controllers :controls PS governing parameters like series impedance, shunt impedance, voltage, phase angle, current, damping oscillations at frequeny below rated

Controllers Types: Series controllers Shunt controllers Combined series series controllers Combined series shunt controllers

INTRODUCTION TO UPFC
Proposed by : Gyugyi in 1991

Derived for real time and dynamic compensation of ac transmission system

Provides multifunctional flexibility in power delivering industry

Unique ability to control power flow affecting parameters

Independently control real and reactive power flow

UPFC : combination of STATCOM and SSSC coupled via a common DC link allows bidirectional flow of real power between SSSC: series output terminals STATCOM : shunt output terminals concurrently provides real and reactive power compensation without an external energy source

controls by means of angularly unconstrained series voltage injection

Superconducting magnet connected to DC link : enhances effectiveness of UPFC

STATCOM : Static synchronous compensator It is shunt connected reactive power compensation device capable of generating and/or absorbing reactive power c SSSC : Static Synchronous series compensator Series connected synchronous voltage source

 UPFC OPERATION STRATEGY :

to maintain a predetermined reactive power margin to maximize the shunt converters dynamic reactive power reserve for system contingency conditions Ensures reactive power range of shunt converters available to compensate for dynamic system disturbances Shunt capacitor banks maintains reserve UPFC and SVC margins during steady state load fluctuations
