Abstract

This paper describes experimental analysis of UPFC, which is composed of cascaded H-bridge modules and single-phase multi-winding transformers for isolation. The operational characteristic was analyzed through experimental works with a scaled model, and simulation results with PSCAD/EMTDC. The UPFC proposed in this paper can be directly connected to the transmission line without series injection transformers. It has flexibility to expand the operation voltage by increasing the number of H-bridge modules. The analysis results can be utilized to design the actual WFC system applicable for the transmission system.
