Abstract

In the field of power system restructuring, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) technology has become indispensable for alleviating the challenges of load flow control, voltage control, transient stability, and dynamic stability. The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the fastest, most flexible, and most capable FACTS device because it has the full advantage of providing simultaneous and independent real-time control of voltage, impedance, and phase angle, which are the main power system parameters that affect system performance. This paper uses a Newton-Raphson load flow that includes UPFC to analyze how UPFC can control the flow of power.

Keywords
