The power fluctuation is a major problem faced by the consumers in power system,to resolve thisInterline Power Flow Controlleris used. This article proposes three and five-level Interline Power Flow Controller for power quality enhancement of fourteen bus structure. The main objective of this article is to diminish the THDcreated by IPFC. Simulations carried out and it results indicate that there is an improvement in the output of IPFC in terms of THD, real power, and reactive power. The simulation results indicate that THD of Five Level Based IPFC (FLBIPFC) is less than that of the Three-Level Based IPFC (TLBIPFC) for fourteen bussystem.

A Power System is actually a vast system that requires an outstanding plan for maintaining the continual flow of electricity. When a fault occurs at the power system, number of difficulties arises because of transients in system. so to attenuate these transients, power electronics based devices like FACTS are utilized. A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one among different power electronics controller which can dispense VAR compensation, line impedance control and phase shifting. The thought is to see potential of UPFC to require care of active and reactive power movement within the compensated line (including UPFC) and to shrink the falloff of the bus voltage in case of grounding fault within the cable. power system block consisting of simulink is used for numerical analysis. Simulation outcomes from MATLAB reflects major improvement in the overall system’s behaviour with UPFC in sustain the voltage and power flow even under severe line faults by proper injection of series voltage into the cable at the point of connection. outcomes shows how the UPFC contributes effectively to a faster regaining of the power system to the pre-fault conditions.

In this paper, a hybrid topology of FACTS devices has been investigated to improve stability features of static voltage. The primary assumption is a power system which has been located under SVC parallel compensation. HPFC forms a hybrid controller using IPFC series converters as a hybrid with existing parallel and passive compensator (SVC) in power system. Thus, simultaneous and independent control of active power flow can be reached through transmission lines and the exchanged reactive power values towards sending and receiving line. Using a hybrid structure makes the use of convertors to improve performance of the old and existing compensators in the power system possible. In this study, the power injection model (PIM) has been used to model series-parallel parts of hybrid power flow controller in Newton-Raphson load flow, and all have been simulated in M-file environment of MATLAB software. In order to investigate the effect of this controller on stability properties of static voltage, P-V curve of PQ buses of a prototype system has been evaluated in a continuous power flow (CPF) in M-file environment of MATLAB software. In the section of simulation results, SVC parallel compensation and UPFC series-parallel compensation are compared in terms of the amount of losses, active and reactive power, and improvement of the system’s loading limit with the proposed hybrid structure.

<p>DPFC is proposed in the present work to improve voltage stability of fourteen bus system during line interruption. The voltage across the load decreases due to the interruption of the line. State space method is used to calculate Line currents and bus voltages. The ability of DPFC to bring voltage, real power and reactive power to normal level is presented in this paper. The simulation results for healthy system, line interrupted system without DPFC and with DPFC are presented. The results of comparative study are presented to show the improvement in power quality. The simulation studies indicate that the power flow with DPFC during line outage is almost equal to the power during healthy condition.</p>

Harmonics reduction techniques in source current were found to be unreliable and imbalanced with different load conditions. This certain unreliability problem in harmonics mitigation is caused by non-linear loads. The harmonics and power quality problems are eliminated by filters. These filters are expensive to provide a dynamic response under various load conditions. The new unified power flow controller composed of a series and shunt compensator provides more secured power systems and good voltage stability at various load conditions. D-Q theory is used to generate the reference current from the AC source current. D-Q theory produces sinusoidal harmonics that are opposite to load harmonics. This UPFC can absorb or inject reactive power in the PCC. D-Q theory followed by a hysteresis current controller generates PWM pulses to the shunt and series compensator. The PI and fuzzy logic controllers preserve the DC link voltage in the storage capacitor. The proposed technique has been simulated by using Matlab simulation under different load conditions.

The interline power flow controller (IPFC) and the unified power flow controller (UPFC) are both advanced types of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). These devices can provide the power system with control of voltage, and that of real and reactive power. This paper reviews the literature on UPFC and IPFC FACTS devices in voltage control and covers two main areas of research (i) voltage control using FACTS devices, and (ii) UPFCs / IPFCs and their applications in power systems. FACTs devices are applied in modern power system networks for the purpose of voltage control while at the same time providing enhanced power system stability. Research has shown that their benefits in the long run outweighs their high cost especially when they are optimally sized and located in the power network. Moreover, in the planning of power transmission systems, a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique can help in the incorporation of both the costs and technical viability. This approach provides techno-economic optimization and at the same time meeting environmental criteria.

In order to eliminate active and reactive power losses in the power system, this paper proposes TOPSIS and DE algorithm for determining the best location and parameter settings for the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). To mitigate power losses, the best UPFC allocation can be achieved by re-dispatching load flows in power systems. The cost of incorporating UPFC into the power system. As a consequence, the proposed objective feature in this paper was created to address this problem. The IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 30-bus systems were used as case studies in the MATLAB simulations. When compared to particle swarm optimization, the results show that DE is a simple to use, reliable, and efficient optimization technique than (PSO). The network's active and reactive power losses can be significantly reduced by putting UPFC in the optimum position determined by TOPSIS ranking method.

Abstract This paper proposes a methodology based on installation cost for locating the optimal position of interline power flow controller (IPFC) in a power system network. Here both conventional and non conventional optimization tools such as LR and ABC are applied. This methodology is formulated mathematically based on installation cost of the FACTS device and active power generation cost. The capability of IPFC to control the real and reactive power simultaneously in multiple transmission lines is exploited here. Apart from locating the optimal position of IPFC, this algorithm is used to find the optimal dispatch of the generating units and the optimal value of IPFC parameters. IPFC is modeled using Power Injection (PI) model and incorporated into the problem formulation. This proposed method is compared with that of conventional LR method by validating on standard test systems like 5-bus, IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems. A detailed discussion on power flow and voltage profile improvement is carried out which reveals that incorporating IPFC into power system network in its optimal location significantly enhance the load margin as well as the reliability of the system.
