Abstract

In this paper a new scheme of unified power flow controller (UPFC) with matrix converter is proposed. The basic problems of the existing UPFC structure are discussed. The main aim of this paper is to present selected results of the analysis of the new UPFC based on matrix converter. Also the paper describes in detail the modulation algorithm used for the matrix converter and the closed loop control scheme used for UPFC. The complete digital simulation of the proposed scheme of UPFC incorporated into the power system is performed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and the results are presented. The simulated results show that static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) part of UPFC provides good voltage regulation and the static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) influences power flow over the transmission line.
