Abstract
In modern era, the increasing size of the power system, to maximize the use of existing systems and to provide adequate voltage
support is an emphasis on finding solutions. This flexibility is needed electricity. Better placed than the Flexible AC Transmission
Systems (FACTS) to control the flow of electricity, and to provide voltage support can be effective in turn resulting in less damage.
The impact of these tools on line flow and bus voltage profile at random algorithm to determine the optimal number of ratings have
been studied by keeping them better .
The FACTS devices are expensive cause of that FACTS type, number and location of the FACTS devices is very important, for decide
the optimal location and parameters of FACTS devices. FACTS are used in the following purposes: Transmission pricing issues by
maximizing social welfare with or without consideration of FACTS’ costs; Better utilization of FACT by maximizing FACTS devices
total transferred power; Reactive power or voltage control by minimizing transmission losses, or voltage fluctuation. Increase
system’s security under emergency by minimizing transmission lines loadability.

1. INTRODUCTION
Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) has received
much attention in the past two decades. It’s a transmission
system voltage, power flow, stability control, etc. uses high-
current power electronic devices. Some forms of FACTS
devices and others are still under development, prototype
installation [ 3 ] are already available for FACTS devices such
as series, shunt or as a combination of series and shunt
transmission line can be connected in various ways. For
example, the static VAR compensator ( SVC ) and static
synchronous compensator (STATCOM) are connected in
shunt static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) and
thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) are connected in
series, thyristor -controlled phase (TCPST transformer
transfer ) and unified power flow controller (UPFC) are
connected with a series and FACTS devices IEEE article [ 4 ]
are described. Permit limits if the same degree of thermal
stability [5-8] facts maintaining equipment, a line of very
effective and are able to increase the power transfer capability.
This paper is the ability to transfer power line is connected to
shunt FACTS device models to consider when examining the
effect of stability on the real line. Transmission is often an
option for modern generation and transmission capacity and
reduces the need for generation resources means. Costs as
well as difficulties encountered during the construction of new
transmission lines, limit the transfer of power available. In
many cases, economic power or transmission capacity is
constrained by splitting reserved. Flexible AC Transmission
Systems (FACTS) technology to control power flow and
existing transmission lines to increase usable capacity opens
up new opportunities.
There is a big mess, upset this balance and other machines [3]
in relation to the ' swinging ' is starting. Here transient stability
of a short circuit on a transmission line as a serious
disturbance, subject to the ability of the power system to
maintain synchronism [5 ] . UPFC series and shunt system in
combination of the system are connected to the FACTS of the

_______________________________________________________________________________________
family members and the voltage swing and stability [6] are
very effective in improving.
At the mid-point along the transmission line [7] sited the shunt
FACTS devices give the maximum benefit from the support
that has seen steady voltage. Evidence of an increase in the
maximum power transfer capacity transmission lines to reduce
resistance and capacitance, which is a reasonable assumption,
neglects the line is based on a simple model. The first swing
stability of the system is affected by the choice of different
models of the transmission line that has been observed [10].
This paper studies a swing and line voltage stability of the
actual (true) to model the facts in the different positions of a
long transmission line (UPFC) device allows comparing the
distinct results found. The real power flow model for precise
line with a predefined direction, toward the end of the sending
device, a fact that needs to be located slightly off-center is
shown.
In this work, UPFC phasor model of the mid-point of a two-
zone system is used to check spots. In computer simulation,
short circuit is a serious disturbance condition ( ie, a three-
phase fault) under the simulation. Compare these results with
the power transfer capability and voltage swing FACTS
devices in improving stability reflects the impact of the mid-
point location.
2. POWER TRANSFER CAPABILITY AND
SYSTEM STABILITY
2.1 Definition of Stability for a System
Let the equilibrium state of the system, the occurrence of a
disturbance and the system still is able to achieve a state of
balance it is considered stable. The system also in the
proximity of the initial equilibrium point if converges to an
equilibrium position is considered stable. Physical condition
of the system with respect to time that something like this is
different physiological variables increases, the system [11] is
considered unstable.
Therefore, the system machines in synchronism with each
other, the forces tending to hold off an upset when enough is
said to be stable. The most worrisome feature of the system
and the stability of power system behavior after a disturbance.
2.2 Need for Power System Stability
Electrical systems are constantly changing industry, where
there is a field. Power industry to lower prices and better
power efficiency are restructuring to meet more users. As
they are interconnected power systems are becoming more
complex. Load demand increases linearly with the increase in
users. Transfer capability limit of stability within the system
since the event, due to economic reasons, need to ensure
power system stability and reliability.
Different types of rotor angle stability of power system
stability, frequency stability and voltage stability [11] have
been classified as. Fig-1 power system stability [1] shows the
classification.

2.3 Stable First Swing
Power outages rise against the catastrophic economic
operation system during the inter-relations, and strategic
coverage and improved reliability are becoming more
complex. Transmission network reinforcement and to avoid
environmental objections include the capital costs are now
under more stress than ever before.
These trends need to operate close to the stability limit is a
system, and disturbances of the system is more vulnerable
electrical fast transient and dynamic stability problems. Utility
companies operating security limit the risk of engineers to
perform off-line transient stability simulation face a huge
number. These limits again for on-line dynamic security
monitoring control center are used throughout the energy
management system.
Definition: An electric system with a peak value from the
start of the severely disturbed machines (SDM) increases ( or
decreases ) the inertia (COI) reference frame later point in the
centre angle reaches the first is said to be the stable swing
angle begins to return to stable equilibrium point [13].
Extreme angle of the SDMS, and therefore, zero speed, the
first swing stability guarantees the existence of the system.
On the other hand, the system is the system increases (or
decreases) at least one of the machines and ultimately, the
fault angle monotonically (CO1 reference frame over 1800) is
infinitely variable is considered first swing.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
First swing stability of the machine sees the transformation of
machine speed and power at the wrong time can be checked
quickly in the countryside. Its lightning fast speed and
acceleration are still negative, while a stationary machine
during the peak angle fault (or zero speed) reaches:
ω = 0
Pa <0
Serious conditions after a machine zero speed and power fault
simultaneous occurrence up to the period are characterized by:
ω = 0
Pa = 0
The above criteria have a tendency to run out of moves by
acceleration that is valid for a machine that can be mentioned
here. For a decelerating machine, stationary above criteria and
criteria for critical situations by comparing the left-hand side
of the equation to be modified by adding a negative signal are
rejected from the machine zero speeds as the fast power index
can be considered as the degree of stability of the machine.
Similarly, by comparing the criteria for volatile and critical
situations, no high degree of fluctuation in the power of
machine to machine speed can be considered as an index. The
stability/instability of the machine after a fault during the
determination of the degree and speed of the machine are
required to accelerate powers [13-15].

Generator shaft through the fault before the fault will receive
approximately the same mechanical input. The mechanical
input and rest of system in relation to each individual rotor
speed up or slow down, the power, the power imbalance
between the causes. Individual rate of change of power
deviation and rotor inertia is determined by each generator.
Differences in the power system will increase the angle of the
rotor angle cannot be huge difference. Therefore, when the
fault is cleared (after 0.1) as the generator power system has
fallen out of step, grid node voltage will be zero in some parts
of the grid the generator started to works as Motors.
Sufficiently small-angle deviation between the generator
rotors will be restored; since we need first swing damping of
oscillations [13, 14].
2.5 Rotor Angle Stability (Electrical Oscillation)
Sudden changes in the power system with different
timeframes are associated with a number of events. In the
first-phase electrical, properties are adjusted very quickly to
the new situation. The share of electricity generation varies
between different generators and also in load demand causes
changes. Accordingly, changes in power flow through the
grid. In the second phase of mechanical and electrical
generator producing an input unbalance between mechanical
generators are due to a change of pace. Individual rate of
change in speed deviation and rotor inertia is decided by force.
Generators with different rates of speed, turning the rotor
angle of each generator will start to deviate from the pre-
disturbance value. It is a generator for electricity to the grid
due to the imbalance that causes a change in the flow. In
Phase, III safety and control come into play. If any defects are
cut - usually a short time delay (the problems associated with
high currents break) after. Separation causes a transient fault.
Steady-state conditions for regaining control grid are trying to
restore. They said they are controlled with different speeds
depending on the function. We then return to equilibrium
between consumption and output voltage of the voltage
regulators, and governor's turbine generator tries to restore the
mechanical input adjusted. These variations are oscillatory in
nature and very lightly damped [13-15].
The rotor angle oscillations can arise in the grid without any
apparent reason. Weak transmission lines, fast and powerful
voltage regulators and other types of control power flow in the
grid oscillations can stand high above. Generators located
close to each other, and the system is very low frequency
(below 0.1-0.2 Hz) with an oscillating machine to another can
end up with groups. Many generator tie lines then move into
another group can become a heavy load. As soon as possible,
it is important to damp these oscillations. They are
mechanical wear in power plants; power quality problems
(flicker, etc.) may be due to causes. Further disturbances
occur; the system is even more vulnerable. It can be identified
in two main ways.
2.6 Concepts Transmission Transfer Capability
Transmission transfer capability is the key basic concepts
described below. NERC many other conditions relating to the
transfer capability of the transmission transfer capability in
May 1995 is explored in detail in the reference document.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
That document concepts and terminology, an open- air
environment [16] still apply.
2.6.1 Transfer Capacity
The units of transfer capability are in terms of power, typically
megawatts (MW) expressed. In this context, “area " One
power system, power pool, control area, sub- area, or NERC
region, or any of them be a part of transfer capacity is
directional in nature. The Area B to Area A and A Area to
Area B generally [16, 17] is not equal to the transfer
capability, the ability to transfer from the region.
3. FACTS DEVICES INTO A POWER SYSTEM
FACTS controllers, gate turn-off capability with a gate turn-
off thyristor devices or electrical equipment can be based.
FACTS controllers, high-voltage AC transmission lines,
voltage, impedance and phase angles are used for dynamic
control. Two areas under study used the following facts in the
power system controllers are discussed briefly the basic
principles [1-4].
3.1 Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC)
A shunt UPFC controller (STATCOM) and as shown in the

As Φ is different, the two-line voltage, V” and V”’ also vary
between the phase shift δ ends. Both the active power P and
reactive power Q [17, 2] can be controlled at the end of a line
that is transmitted.
In addition to allowing control of active and reactive power
line, UPFC provides an additional degree of freedom. As
STATCOM converter operating in a shunt, reactive power
absorbed or generated by the voltage V1 controls.
Series and shunt converters connected on the secondary side
of a coupling transformer Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC)
use. VSCs a voltage from a DC voltage source to synthesize
forced commutated power electronic devices (GTOs, IGBTs
or IGCTs) use. VSCs common capacitor connected on the DC
side acts as a DC voltage source. Two VSCs VSC
technologies can be used for:
GTO based square wave inverters and special interconnection
transformers using VSC. Typically, four three- level inverter
to produce a 48- step voltage waveform is used. Special
interconnection transformers contained in square waves
generated by an individual inverter is used to neutralize the
harmonics. In this type of VSC, VDC voltage is proportional
to the voltage fundamental component. The Committee
injection voltage is varied to control.
VSC using IGBT -based PWM inverters. Some of this type of
inverter kHz with a typical chopping frequency to synthesize a
sinusoidal wave with a dc voltage pulse width modulation
(PWM) technique uses. Harmonics VSC cancels them by
connecting the AC filters are in favor. This type of VSC uses
a fixed DC voltage Vdc. Modulation index is varied by
changing the voltage of the PWM modulator. UPFC (phasor
type) block model, an IGBT based UPFC. Details of the
inverter and harmonics are not represented; however, also a
GTO based on transient stability studies UPFC [2, 17] can be
used to model.
4. LOCATION OF SHUNT FACTS DEVICES IN
TWO-AREA POWER SYSTEM
Previous works on the subject sited at the mid-point of the
transmission line when the constant voltage shunt devices
supporting facts prove that the maximum benefit. Evidence of
increased stability and maximum power transfer capability of
the line model is based on a simplified version of neglecting
line resistance and capacitance. Based on the simple model of
a transmission line or the center line between facts combined
shunt -series has proven to be the optimal location in the
equipment. Line is the actual model, the fact that the highest
possible return device [3] should be placed slightly off-center
to get that is found.
Sitting mid-point of reactive power control is most effective.
Transmission line transient stability and thermal limits must
be operating below the threshold. Increase STATCOM first
swing stability analysis [5] SVC is better than the shows.

controlling reactive power flow and both voltage fluctuations
and transient stability within the system. This paper
predefined direction of real power flow in a long transmission
line to improve transient stability is also related to the
placement of a shunt FACTS device. It is placed slightly off-
center toward the sending end when the FACTS devices,
delivering better performance in improving transient stability
and space that has been seen.
5. CONCLUSIONS
This work deals with the application of UPFC. Model swing,
voltage stability analyses are applied, and cover a wide range
of power transfer capability. In this work, the effects of UPFC
in the power transmission path are analyzed, and the
conclusion can be given by analysis of performance.
The study is divided into different sections for clarity. First,
the optimal location of shunt FACTS devices or low- voltage
mid- point location that is just a given operating condition was
determined. Unlike previous works in this area, we have a
long line affects the optimal position, which is the actual line
model. The next section discusses how the flow line, keeping
the UPFC impact test system performance with four
generators. Static and dynamic changes throughout the
examination system while the generator loading, flow
separation line, swings and tests have been studying the
effects of system voltage stability.
