Abstract :
The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is a novel power transmission controller. The UPFC provides a full dynamic control of transmission parameters, voltage, line impedance and phase angle. This paper presents a useful tool for power utilities engineers to evaluate the application of the UPFC, its impact on their power system and what would be the shunt and series ratings. This paper gives sets of equations for a system including the UPFC and an equivalent two bus power network. A numerical method tested with Matlab has been successfully validated with an analog model and EMTP. The Matlab code given in the paper allows fast parametric studies to be performed for the application of the UPFC
