A New Control Strategy for the Unified Power Flow Controller

Abstract

The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the most versatile among a variety of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices, which can be used for power flow control, enhancement of transient stability, damping system oscillations and voltage regulation. In this paper, we propose a new PI based approach for the dynamic control of UPFC. With the new control strategy, not only the active and reactive power flow control but also the system oscillations damping can be achieved. The digital simulation results developed in MATLAB and PSCAD/EMTDC environments are presented to verify the efficiency of the proposed control algorithm.
