Paper Title
Optimal Placement Of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) To Maximize Power Transfer Capability
Abstract
Flexible Alternating current transmission
system i.e FACTS device have come in account for
the major use for the controllability in the power
system. With the increase in the load of the
transmission line the power system may face voltage
drop in the busses which may also results in the
overloading of some transmission line in the system.
FACTS device open ups a new opportunity for the
controllability to maximizing power system
capability of the system for this Unified Power Flow
Controller is considered as a powerful FACTS device
which helps in controlling both active and reactive
power flow in the system. This paper mainly deals
with the optimal placement of UPFC to maximize
power transfer capability. Real power sensitivity
performance index have been used to find optimal
location of UPFC on IEEE-5 and IEEE-14 bus
system.
