Opis

FACTS devices are effective to enhance the security, capacity, and flexibility of power transmission systems. This book briefs about the Unified power flow controller (UPFC) is the most comprehensive multivariable flexible AC transmission system and FACTS controller enhances real and reactive power control for the effective real-time functioning of the power system without power losses. UPFC enables independent and simultaneous control of a transmission line voltage, impedance, and phase angle. In steady state, the UPFC can be used to regulate the power flow through the line and improve utilization of the existing transmission system capacity and during power system transients, the UPFC can be used to mitigate power system oscillations.
