The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is accepted as the versatile Power Flow Controller between electrical power nodes or power sources many times referred to as the buses. Regulation of real and reactive power flow between power nodes can be achieved in the desired manner using the UPFC. In this paper it is demonstrated how additional real power sources like Wind and Photo Voltaic Solar power sources can be augmented into the DC link of the UPFC and supplementing the seamless performance of the UPFC. Fuzzy Logic has been chosen to be the controller as it is moderately robust and its usefulness in this application is compared and contrasted against traditional PI controller. MATLAB / SIMULINK based simulation environment has been used for demonstrating the validity of the proposed schemes.

<p>The Power quality of the electrical system is an important issue for industrial, commercial, and housing uses. An increasing request for high quality electrical power and an increasing number of distorting loads had led to increase the consideration of power quality by customers and utilities. The development and use of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTs) controllers in power transmission systems had led to many applications of these controllers. A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the FACTs elements which is used to control both active and reactive power flow of the transmission line. This paper tried to improve power quality using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based UPFC, where it used to control both active and reactive power flow, decreas the total harmonic distortion (THD), correct power factor, regulate line voltage and enhance transient stability. A comparison study of the performance between the system with a conventional PID controller and FLC has been done. The theoretical analysis has been proved by implementing the system using MATLAB/SIMULINK package.The Power quality of the electrical system is an important issue for industrial, commercial, and housing uses.

Abstract In recent years, the use of wind energy to generate electricity in the world has been accelerating and growing. Wind farms are unstable when dynamic voltage fluctuations occur, especially sudden and sudden changes in load, and show oscillating performance at their output. In this paper, the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) has been simulated and studied by Matlab software to improve the dynamic stability and transient behavior of the wind power plant in the event of sudden load changes. The simulation results show that by controlling the UPFC series inverter, voltage fluctuations in the PCC bus are prevented and the UPFC parallel inverter injects power after changing the load for faster recovery and stability of the PCC bus voltage and thus the stability of the wind farm. The UPFC can control the active and reactive power at the transmission line, and in fact, controls the output of the wind turbine with the generator from both sides to the fluctuations caused by sudden load changes that play a role such as sudden disturbances and oscillating errors. Also, the presence of UPFC in the system reduces power fluctuations.

The equipments based on the power electronics have been improved under the name of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) in the last years. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the most widely used FACTS device to control the power flow and to optimize the system stability in the transmission line. UPFC is a FACTS devices that can control active and reactive power flow in transmission line by means of injection controllable series voltage to the transmission line. This paper proposes a new connection for a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) to control the active and reactive power flow control in two sides of a transmission line independently and it regulates bus voltage in the same transmission line, furthermore it is possible to balance line current too. This connection of the UPFC will be called an center node UPFC (C_UPFC). It is one of the newest devices within the FACTS technology. The structure and capability of the C_UPFC is discussed and its control scheme is based on the d-q orthogonal coordinates. According to this, the performance of UPFC for several modes of operations using different control mechanisms based on Proportional-Integral (PI) and PID based controllers has been studied. The obtained simulation results from Matlab/simulink confirm the effective features.

Load Conditions

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.
