This paper analyzes an eigenvalue distribution and enhancement of the small signal stabiligy when an Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) modeling is connected into the multi-machine power system. Recently a lot of attention has been paid to the subject of dynamic stability. It deals with analysis of eigenvalue sensitivities with respect to parameters of UPFC Controller and damping of interarea and local electromechanical oscillation modes using UPFC Controller. It provides an insight and understanding in the basic characteristics of damping effects of UPFC Controller and shows a very stable frequency response via UPFC in test model. The series branch of the UPFC is designed to damp the power oscillation during transients, while the shunt branch aims at maintaining the bus voltage and angle. Comprehensive time-domain simulation studies using PSS/E show that the proposed robost UPFC controller can enhance the small signal stability efficiently in spite of the variations of power system operating conditions.

This paper presents a dynamic simulation of the unified power flow controller (UPFC) using a current injection method. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices give more flexibility of control for security and economic operation of power systems. Diffculties of modeling UPFC in the conventional dynamic simulation programs arise from the fact that the injected voltage by the series inverter is superimposed on the shunt inverter side voltage. A solution can be a current injection method, in which a serial part of UPFC is converted to a parallel equivalent circuit using source transformation, and two current sources affect each other at every time step. To verify efficiency of this method, the proposed model is applied for the transient analysis of an example power system.

This paper describes modeling Voltage Sourced Inverter (VSI) type Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controllers and control methods for power system dynamic stability studies. The considered FACTS controllers are the Static Compensator (STATCOM), the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), and the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). In this paper, these FACTS controllers are derived in the current injection model, and it is applied to the linear and nonlinear analysis algorithm for power system dynamics studies. The parameters of the FACTS controllers are set to damp the inter-area oscillations, and the supplementary damping controllers and its control schemes are proposed to increase damping abilities of the FACTS controllers. For these works, the linear analysis for each FACTS controller with or without damping controller is executed, and the dynamic characteristics of each FACTS controller are analyzed. The results are verified by the nonlinear analysis using the time-domain simulation.

The unified power flow controller(UPFC) is one of the most effective devices in the FACTS family. This paper concerns about a filtering technique for reducing the computer calculation to determine the optimal location of UPFC in a power system. The sensitivities of the power generation cost for UPFC control parameters are evaluated. This technique requires that only one optimal power flow is run to get UPFC sensitivities for all possible transmission lines. To find out a optimal locating of a single UPFC in power system, an ideal transformer model which consists of a complex turns ratio and a variable shunt admittance was used. In this model, the UPFC control variables do not depend on UPFC input and output currents and voltages. The sensitivity method was tested on a 5-bus system derived from the IEEE 14-bus system and IEEE 14-bus system to establish its effectiveness.

This paper presents a dynamic simulation algorithm for studying the effect of United Power Flow Controller(UPFC) on the low frequency power system oscillations and transient stability studies. The proposed algorithm is a Newton-type one and uses current injection type UPFC model, which gives a fast convergence characteristics. The algorithm is applied to studying inter-area power oscillation damping enhancement of a sample two-area power system both in time domain and frequency domain. The case study results show that the proposed algorithm is very efficient and UPFC is very effective and robust against operating point change.

This paper describes controller design and simulation-model development of a dynamic voltage compensator using series and shunt inverters. The control system was designed using PI controller and vector relationship between the supply voltage and load voltage. A simulation model with EMTP was developed to analyze performance of the controller and the whole system. The simulation and experiment results confirm that the dynamic compensator can restore the load voltage under the fault of the distribution system, such as single-line-ground fault, three-line-to-ground fault, and line-to-line fault.

The flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) provides a new advanced technology solution to improve the flexibility, controllability, and stability of a power system. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is outstanding for regulating power flow in the FACTS; it can control the real power, reactive power, and node voltage of distribution networks. This paper investigates the performance of the UPFC for power flow control with a series of step changes in rapid succession in a power system steady state and the response of the UPFC to distribution network faults and islanding mode. Simulation was carried out using the MATLAB's simulink sim power systems toolbox. The results, which were carried out on a 5-bus test system and a 4-bus multi-machine electric power system, show clearly the effectiveness and viability of UPFC in rapid response and independent control of the real and reactive power flows and oscillation damping [6].

This paper describes a power flow method for the unified power flow controller(UPFC) considering equipment sizes and constraints. The operation of UPFC subject to the practical constraints encounted in an actual high power installation. So the Power flow method for FACTS must be considered its constraints for power system analysis. The proposed UPFC power flow method was implemented by PSS/E and IPLAN.
