The objective of this paper is to analyze power system dynamics influenced by UPFC(Unified Power flow Controller) operation and to develop a refined DCRM(Differential Current Relaying Method) to protect the transmission line with UPFC effectively. The implementation of control strategies for UPFC introduces new power system dynamic problems that must be considered while applying the conventional DCRM. In this paper, impact of UPFC operation on the DCRM has been reviewed and a refined DCRM has been proposed to detect faults properly in spite of UPFC operation. The porposed method is verified by simulation on the line-faulted system with UPFC.

This paper deals with a full functional simulation of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) which is a next generation FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) technology. Through analysis and modeling of he UPFC, power flow control is simulated. Active and reactive power controls, and input side bus voltage control are performed by EMTDC (Electro-Magnetic Transients in DC systems) which is a general purpose time domain simulation program for simulating power systems transients and its controls. Dynamic performances of the UPFC are verified by simulation results.

In this paper, in the power system having UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller) Power flow of certain line is controlled to desired value also power flow analysis algorithm is reposed considering power flow constraints which is capable of analysis power flow of all system. This algorithm is applied to controlling line-overloading problems and the method of is prosed. By applying this algorithm to controlling line-over loading the method of controlling UPFC is proposed and the effectiveness of controlling UPFC is proposed and the effectiveness of controlling UPFC is verified through the research of practical system. Also, the equation to set up an initial value of stories and shunt voltage source of UPFC is proposed for the effective power analysis.

This paper presents the application of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) in order to simultaneous control of power flow and voltage and also damping of Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) at a Single-Machine Infinite-Bus (SMIB) power system installed with UPFC. PI type controllers are commonly used controllers for UPFC control. But for the sake of some drawbacks of PI type controllers, the scope for finding a better control scheme still remains. In this regard, in this paper the new IP type controllers are considered as UPFC controllers. The parameters of these IP type controllers are tuned using Genetic Algorithms (GA). Also a stabilizer supplementary controller based UPFC is considered for increasing power system damping. To show the ability of IP controllers, this controller is compared with classical PI type controllers. Simulation results emphasis on the better performance of IP controller in comparison with PI controller.

This paper describes a simulation model and a scaled hardware model to analyze the dynamic performance of Unified Power Flow Controller, which can flexibly adjust the active power flow through the ac transmission line. The design of control system for UPFC was developed using vector control method. The results of simulation and scaled hardware test show that the developed control system works accurately. Both models would be very effective for analyzing the dynamic performance of the Unified Power Flow Controller.

This paper discusses the dynamic test of distance relay on transmission line connected unified power flow controller(UPFC) using the real-time digital simulator(RTDS). Depending on operating conditions of UPFC, the trip characteristics of distance relay is influenced by the prefault conditions. In this paper, UPFC is established using the RTDS and then relay test is performed on real time.

In order for effective operation of existing power systems, introduction of the so-called FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System) such as SVC and UPFC etc, is unavoidable. The UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller) is composed of STATCOM(Static Compensator) and SSSC(Static Synchronous Series Compensator), and is used to control the magnitude and phase angle of injected sources which are connected bothin series and in parallel with the transmission line to control the power flow and bus voltages. This paper presents a UPFC simulation on RTDS. The voltage and phase angle of a system have been analyzed by regulating the firing angle inside the UPFC.
