Abstract

This study presents an approach to find and choose the optimal location of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) based on the sensitivity of the total system active power loss with respect to the control variables of the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). The control system of the UPFC’s injection model is developed and its contributions to avoiding a voltage collapse are explored by analyzing a multi-machine test system. With the UPFC being embedded in the system using static approach, the analysis is concentrated on the sensitivities of the UPFC’s set of control parameters. The sensitivities concern minimization of total system power loss. Simulation studies are carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and results show that optimal siting of the UPFC provide better damping during transient and dynamic control as well as enhance voltage stability.

INTRODUCTION

The problem of voltage stability with voltage collapse as its final consequence has been of great concern in power system planning and operation. Several attempts have been made to improve operating margins necessary for grid stability ranging from the conventional use of power system stabilizers to the design of power electronic equipment of high rating for high voltage systems. It is the rapid development of power electronics that paved the way for the advent of FACTS controllers which provide voltage support and regulate power flow on transmission lines. But the location of these FACTS controllers has been enormous challenge confronting the transmission utilities.
