1) The document discusses using a unified power flow controller (UPFC) to improve power transmission and stability by combining AC-DC transmission. A UPFC can control various parameters like voltage, impedance, and phase angle to regulate real and reactive power flow.
2) It describes the design of the UPFC, which includes controlling terminal voltage, providing series compensation, and phase shift control. A simulation model of the UPFC is developed in MATLAB/Simulink.
3) The results show that the UPFC is effective at removing power oscillations and increasing stability by upgrading transmission capacity, as well as providing high quality power under nonlinear loads by controlling voltage effectively.
