Transient stability improvement in power system using unified power flow controller (UPFC)

Abstract

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology is the most advanced tool for power flow control in electric network. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the most versatile FACTS device for optimization and control of power flow in transmission system. It is a voltage source converter based FACTS controller for series and shunt compensation of the line which controls the real and reactive power independently. This paper deals with Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used as the controlling technique for UPFC. The controller have been designed and tested for controlling the real and reactive power flow of UPFC. Computer simulation by MATLAB/SIMULINK has been used to verify proposed control strategies.
