Optimal Power Flow Study Using UPFC

Abstract

The Controlled Reactive Power Gives the Desired Optimal flow of Power in the line. The FACTS devices effectively control the flow of Power in the lines. Improvement of voltage profile and minimization of losses are studied here with Optimal and non- Optimal Power Flow. The effectiveness and suitability of UPFC controllers are being discussed and is demonstrated through an Example and is clear that this device has the capability of regulating the flow of power, minimization of power losses.
