This document discusses power upgrading of transmission lines by combining AC-DC transmission and analyzing a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). It begins by introducing the basic concept of designing AC-DC power transmission lines with a single circuit AC line. It then discusses how a UPFC can control various parameters like terminal voltage, series compensation, and phase shift to control power flow. The document presents the design, simulation model, and results of a UPFC model in MATLAB-Simulink. It analyzes how a UPFC can improve voltage profile, reduce line congestion, improve transient stability, and achieve faster steady state conditions. In conclusion, it summarizes that a UPFC is a useful FACTS device for maintaining power system stability
