Transient Stability Enhancement Using Multilevel Inverter Based UPFC

Article Preview

Abstract:

Power flow control is important in power systems and recently becomes more urgent because of the deregulation. This paper presents a novel configuration of unified power flow controller and performance of UPFC intended for installation on transmission line. When no UPFC is installed, any interruption in the line due to fault reduces the active power flow through the line. Installing the UPFC makes it possible to control an amount of active power flow through the line. Simulations were carried out using Matlab to validate the performance of UPFC. Keywords: FACTS Devices, UPFC, Transient stability, Matlab, Fault simulation.
