  • Abstract
    The basic principles of UPFC operation are discussed and the series inverter dynamics are explained. Two control strategies - the Cross-Coupling method and the Advanced Control method are discussed in detail and their bode plots are analyzed. The two control methods are implemented in PSCAD for the NYPA UPFC at Marcy substation. The performance of the two methods is observed for step changes in active power reference and the results are compared.
