This paper presents a study performed to investigate the steady-state operational strategies of UPFCs in the Jeollanam-Do system in Korea. The objective of the study was to determine the UPFC operating points under normal and contingency conditions. The study consists of developing load flow models to simulate different load levels with and without UPFCs in the system, assessing the effectiveness of UPFCs by contingency analysis, and introducing optimal corrective actions for removing voltage problems caused by contingencies. The paper describes analytical tools, models and approach. It also includes analysis and discussion of the study results. The paper contributes to the area of transmission operational studies with FACTS applications.

This paper proposes a distribution voltage control method when a voltage increase condition occurs due to reverse power flow from the clustered photovoltaic (PV) system. This proposed distribution voltage control is performed a by distribution-unified power flow controller (D-UPFC). D-UPFC consists of a hi-directional ac-ac converter and transformer. It does not use any energy storage component or rectifier circuit, but it directly converts ac to ac. The distribution model and D-UPFC voltage control using the ATP-EMTP program were simulated and the results show the voltage increase control in the distribution system.

PSS/E offers a power flow model of UPFC in the new version. The Dynamic model was developed in a form of user-define model that is a external function, Now is a stage of verification through variety examples. Importance of this model is in the point which it is necessary for the simulation on the stability. This paper presents the Dynamic model that is defined by user. First. the theory will be discussed, and then for verification on right operation, resultes of application to KEPRI network will be showed.

FACTS 기술은 송전계통에 전압원 인버터를 설치하여 모선 전압과 전력조류를 제어하므로 송전용량 증대 및 계통 안정도 향상을 가능케하는 신기술이다. 국내에서는 2003년 최초의 FACTS Pilot Plant인 80MVA UPFC가 154kV 강진 변전소에 설치되었다. UPFC는 STATCOM과 SSSC가 DC 커패시터를 통하여 결합된 구조로 되어 모선전압과 유효/무효전력 조류의 독립적인 제어가 가능하며 계통 운전 상황에 따라 STATCOM과 SSSC의 단독운전 또한 가능하다. 따라서 STATCOM 및 SSSC 단독운전시의 계통영향에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문은 EMTDC 모델을 이용하여 현재 운전중인 강진 변전소 UPFC의 직렬 운전모드인 40MVA SSSC의 제어특성과 운전효과 분석에 대하여 기술하였다.

최근 전력계통 운용상 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 대용량 반도체 스위칭 소자를 이용한 전력전자 설비인 FACTS에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. FACTS 설비는 신속한 응답, 다양한 출력변화, 정교한 출력제어 등의 특성으로 전력 계통 적용시 송전용량 증대, 조류제어 등의 효과를 가져오고 있다[7,8]. 본 논문에서는 최근 개발된 FACTS설비인 UPFC(Unified Power Flower Controllers)에 대한 실계통 적용검토 연구를 위하여, 계통모의용 모델을 제시하고, 이에 대한 적용효과를 샘플계통에서 기존의 FACTS설비인 SVC, STATCOM과 비교하였다.

A control method of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) to reduce low frequency oscillation is proposed. UPFC is modelled by voltage source, which magnitude and phase angle can be controlled. Because there needs some time to change to desired value, d-axis voltage and Q-axis voltage is modeled by 1st order delay. LQG(Linear Quadratic Gaussian) is used. It is shown that low frequency can be damped by control of UPFC effectively.

This paper describes a simulation model to analyze the dynamic performance of Unified Power Flow Controller, which adjust flexibly the active and reactive power flow through the ac transmission line. The basic operation was analyzed in detail using equivalent circuits and the design of control system was developed using vector control method. A simulation model with EMTP code was conceived to evaluate the performance of the Unified power Flow Controller. The simulation results show that the developed simulation model is very effective to analyze the dynamic performance of the Unified Power Flow Controller.
