- 1. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC)
- 2. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC): A combination of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and a static series compensator (SSSC) which are coupled via a common dc link, to allow bidirectional flow of real/reactive power between the series output terminals of the SSSC and the shunt output terminals of the STATCOM. STATCOM SSSC

- 4. SSSC Operation If the injected voltage is in phase with the line current, then the voltage would exchange real power. On the other hand, if a voltage is injected in quadrature with the line current, then reactive power—either absorbed or generated—would be exchanged.

- 7. Operation of UPFC One VSC—converter 1—is connected in shunt with the line through a coupling transformer; the other VSC—converter 2—is inserted in series with the transmission line through an interface transformer. The dc voltage for both converters is provided by a common capacitor bank. The series converter is controlled to inject a voltage phasor, Vpq, in series with the line. Thereby the series converter exchanges both real and reactive power with the transmission line. The reactive power is internally generated/ absorbed by the series converter, the real-power generation. The shunt-connected converter 1 is used mainly to supply the real- power demand of converter 2, which it derives from the transmission line

- 15. Reactive Power Control Mode Reference inputs are used to generate inductive and capacitive VAR request Shunt converter control converts the VAR reference into the corresponding shunt current request by adjusting the gate pulse of the converter. Automatic Voltage control mode Uses feed back signal v1 Shunt converter reactive current is automatically regulated to maintain transmission line voltage to reference value at the point of connection.
- 16. Direct Voltage Injection Mode Simply generates Vpq with magnitude and phase angle requested By reference input. Vpq in phase with V voltage magnitude control Vpq quadrature with V real power control Bus Voltage Regulation Mode Vpq is kept in phase with v1 angle, its magnitude is controlled to maintain the magnitude output bus voltage v2 at the given reference value. Phase Angle Regulation Mode Vpq is controlled w.r.t voltage magnitude v1. Hence v2 is phase shifted without any magnitude change relative to the angle specified by the vi reference value.
- 17. Automatic Power Flow Control Mode Magnitude and angle of Vpq is controlled so as to force a line current, that results in desired real and reactive power flow in the line. Vpq is determined automatically and continously by closed loop control system to ensure desired P and Q.
