Abstract

Line outage, congestion, cascading line tripping and system stability loss are the major problems faced by a power system. Solution to this problem is the use of FACTS devices especially Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). UPFC can uphold the voltage magnitude, phase angle and line impedance of a power system transmission line. In this paper, performance of unified power flow controller is investigated using MATLAB based commercial power system simulation software Power System Toolbox (PST) in various modes of operation. With the help of model of power system in MATLAB, and by installing UPFC in transmission system, its use as power flow controller and voltage injector, is used to relieve power congestion in transmission system.
