Abstract—The demand for electricity generation is quickly blooming as the use of electricity and other distributed power
generation systems have drastically increased. With the demand of electricity, at times, it is not possible to set new lines to
face the situation. Growth of electrical energy consumptions and increasing non-linear loads in power systems force the
electrical power utilities to provide a high electrical power, and this is the reason that this issue is getting more and more
significance in power systems. In Electrical Power System for governing, UPFC is the most complex but promising power
electronics system. In this paper, Unified Power Flow Controller is studied to improve the power flow over a transmission
line in a standard IEEE 14 bus system by using MATLAB / SIMULINK in a power system block set. For the selected
standard system, real and reactive power flows are compared with and without UPFC to prove the performance. Active and
reactive power through the transmission line cannot be controlled without UPFC but with the circuit model for UPFC
using rectifier and inverter circuits, this performance gets improved. In this paper implementation and digital simulation
using UPFC to improve the power quality is presented. The MATLAB/SIMULINK model results are presented to verify the
results.

Index Terms—FACTS, IEEE 14 Bus system, Power Flow, Power Quality, UPFC.

I. INTRODUCTION
The technology of power system utilities around the world has rapidly evolved with considerable changes in the
technology along with improvements in power system structures and operation. The ongoing expansions and
growth in the technology, demand a more optimal and profitable operation of a power system with respect to
generation, transmission and distribution systems. Power Systems Engineering Committee of the industrial and
commercial power systems department of the IEEE Industry Applications society (1999) develops IEEE Standard
1100-1999 which recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment Power Quality is
defined in the IEEE 100 Authoritative Dictionary of IEEE Standard terms as “ the concept of powering and
grounding electronic equipment in a manner that it is suitable to the operation of that equipment and compatible
with the premise wiring systems and other connected equipment .” Power Quality is the combination of voltage
quality and current quality. Quality of supply is a combination of voltage quality and the non-technical aspects of
the interaction from the power network to its customers. Quality of consumption is the complementary terms to
Quality of supply Power Quality (PQ) is an issue that is becoming increasingly important to electricity consumers
at all levels of usage. Sensitive equipment and non-linear loads are commonplace in both the industrial and the
domestic environment; because of this a heightened awareness of power quality is developing. The sources of
problems that can disturb the power quality are: power electronic devices, arcing devices, load switching, large
motor starting, embedded generation, sensitive equipment, storm and environment related damage, network
equipment and design. The solution to improve the power quality at the load side is of great important when the
production processes get more complicated and require a bigger liability level, which includes aims like to provide
energy without interruption, without harmonic distortion and with tension regulation between very narrow margins.

In the present scenario, most of the power systems in the developing countries with large interconnected networks
share the generation reserves to increase the reliability of the power system. However, the increasing complexities
of large interconnected networks had fluctuations in reliability of power supply, which resulted in system
instability, difficult to control the power flow and security problems that resulted large number blackouts in
different parts of the world. The reasons behind the above fault sequences may be due to the systematic errors in

planning and operation, weak interconnection of the power system, lack of maintenance or due to overload of the
network.

In order to overcome these consequences and to provide the desired power flow along with system stability and
reliability, installations of new transmission lines are required. However, installation of new transmission lines with
the large interconnected power system are limited to some of the factor like economic cost, environment related
issues. These complexities in installing new transmission lines in a power system challenges the power engineers to
research on the ways to increase the power flow with the existing transmission line without reduction in system
stability and security.

In this research process, in the late 1980’s the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) introduced a concept of
technology to improve the power flow, improve the system stability and reliability with the existing power systems.
This technology of power electronic devices is termed as Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems
(FACTS) technology. It provides the ability to increase the controllability and to improve the transmission system
operation in terms of power flow, stability limits with advanced control technologies in the existing power systems.
The main objective to introduce FACTS Technology is as follows:
 To increase the power transfer capability of transmission network in a power system.
 To provide the direct control of power flow over designated transmission routes.
 To provide secure loading of a transmission lines near the thermal limits.
 To improve the damping of oscillations as this can threaten security or limit usage line capacity.

FACTS technology is not a single power electronic device but a collection of controllers that are applied
individually or in coordination with other devices to control one or more interrelated power system parameters
such as series impedance, shunt impedance, current, voltage and damping of oscillations. These controllers were
designed based on the concept of FACTS technology known as FACTS Controllers. FACTS controllers are
advanced in relation to mechanical control switched systems that are controlled with ease. They have the ability to
control the power flow and improve the performance of the power system without changing the topology. Since
1980s, a number of different FACTS controllers with advanced control techniques proposed as per the demand of
the power systems.

Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is one among the different FACTS controllers introduced to improve the
power flow control with stability and reliability. It is the most versatile device introduced in early 1990s designed
based on the concept of combined series-shunt FACTS Controller. It has the ability to simultaneously control all
the transmission parameters affecting the power flow of a transmission line i.e. voltage, line impedance and phase
angle.
II. FACTS CONTROLLER
FACTS is defined by the IEEE as "a power electronic based system and other static equipment that provide control
of one or more AC transmission system and increase the capacity of power transfer.” The FACTS devices can be
divided in three groups, dependent on their switching technology: Mechanically switched (such as phase shifting
transformers), thyristor switched or fast switched, using IGBTs. While some types of FACTS, such as the phase
shifting transformer (PST) and the Static VAR Compensator (SVC) are already well known and used in power
systems, new developments in power electronics and control have extended the application range of FACTS.
Furthermore, intermittent renewable energy sources and increasing international power flows provide new
applications for FACTS. The additional flexibility and controllability of FACTS allow mitigating the problems
associated with the unreliable of supply issues of renewable. SVCs and STATCOM devices are well suited to
provide ancillary services (such as voltage control) to the grid and fault ride through capabilities which standard
wind farms cannot provide Furthermore, FACTS reduce oscillations in the grid, which is especially interesting
when dealing with the stochastic behavior of renewable. In a liberalized market, the added value of FACTS, and
especially power flow controlling devices, is the ability to control flow paths and therefore the ability to resolve
congestions and optimally utilizing available grid infrastructure. Although FACTS devices are currently quite
expensive, it is expected that with a growing utilization and experience, prices will drop considerably.

II. BENEFITS OF UTILIZING FACTS DEVICES
The benefits of utilizing FACTS devices in electrical transmission systems can be summarized as follows:
- Better utilization of existing transmission system assets.
- Increased transmission system reliability and availability.
- Increased dynamic and transient grid stability and reduction of loop flows.
- Increased quality of supply for sensitive industries.
- Environmental benefits Better utilization of existing transmission system assets.
In many countries, increasing the energy transfer capacity and controlling the load flow of transmission lines are of
vital importance, especially in de-regulated markets, where the locations of generation and the bulk load centres
can change rapidly. Frequently, adding new transmission lines to meet increasing electricity demand is limited by
economical and environmental constraints. FACTS devices help to meet these requirements with the existing
transmission systems.

III. UNIFIED POWER FLOW CONTROLLER (UPFC)

Among all the FACTS devices the most flexible and universal device is unified power flow controller ( UPFC ). It is a
combination of three compensator’s characteristics, i.e. impedance, voltage magnitude and phase angle, that are able to
produce a more complete compensation. By controlling impedance, voltage magnitude, phase angle Unified power flow
controller (UPFC) is used to control the power flow in the transmission systems. This controller brings in new
challenges power electronics and power system design. In terms of static and dynamic operation of the power system
this controller also offers advantages. The basic structure consists of two Voltage Source Inverter’s ( VSI’s ); where one
converter is connected in series with transmission line while other converter is connected in parallel to the transmission
line.
A. Construction of UPFC
The UPFC consists of two voltage source converters; series and shunt converter, which are connected to each other
with a common dc link. Shunt converter or Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is used to provide
reactive power to the ac system, beside that, it will provide the dc power required for both inverter, while series
converter or Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is used to add controlled voltage magnitude and
phase angle in series with the line. Each of the branches consists of a transformer and power electronic converter.
These two voltage source converters shared a common dc capacitor.

The energy storing capacity of this dc capacitor is generally small. Therefore, active power drawn by the shunt
converter should be equal to the active power generated by the series converter. The reactive power in the shunt or

series converter can be chosen independently, giving greater flexibility to the power flow control. The coupling
transformer is used to connect the device to the system.

Fig 4. Single line diagram of UPFC and Phasor of voltage and current
Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the three phase UPFC connected to the transmission line[14]. Figure 2
shows the block diagram of shunt inverter controller and Figure 3 shows the block diagram of series inverter
controller [16]. Control of power flow is achieved by adding the series voltage, VS with a certain amplitude, ∣ VS ∣
and phase shift, φ. Figure 4 shows Single line diagram of UPFC and Phasor of voltage and current to V1[17]. This
gives a new line voltage V2 with different magnitude and phase shift. As the angle φ varies, the phase shift δ
between V2 and V3 also varies. Voltage and current.
With the presence of the two converters, UPFC not only can supply reactive power but also active power. The
equation for the active and reactive power is given as follows:-

B. Characteristics of UPFC
Line outage, congestion, cascading line tripping, power system stability loss are the major issues where capability
and utilization of FACTS are noticed. Representative of the last generation of FACTS devices is the Unified Power
Flow Controller (UPFC). The UPFC is a device which can control simultaneously all three parameters of line
power flow (line impedance, voltage and phase angle). Such "new" FACTS device combines together the features
of two "old" FACTS devices: the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and the Static Synchronous
Series Compensator (SSSC). In practice, these two devices are two Voltage Source Inverters (VSI’s) connected
respectively in shunt with the transmission line through a shunt transformer and in series with the transmission line
through a series transformer, connected to each other by a common dc link including a storage capacitor. The shunt
inverter is used for voltage regulation at the point of connection injecting an opportune reactive power flow into the
line and to balance the real power flow. The series inverter is controlled to inject a symmetrical three phase voltage
system (V), of controllable magnitude and phase angle in series with the line to control active and reactive power
flows on the transmission line. So, this inverter will exchange active and reactive power with the line. The reactive
power is electronically provided by the series inverter, and the active power is transmitted to the dc terminals. The
shunt inverter is operated in such a way as to demand this dc terminal power (positive or negative) from the line
keeping the voltage across the storage capacitor Vdc constant. So, the net real power absorbed from the line by the
UPFC is equal only to the losses of the inverters and their transformers. The remaining capacity of the shunt
inverter can be used to exchange reactive power with the line so to provide a voltage regulation at the connection
point. The two VSI’s can work independently of each other by separating the dc side. So in that case, the shunt
inverter is operating as a STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensators) that generates or absorbs reactive power
to regulate the voltage magnitude at the connection point. Instead, the series inverter is operating as SSSC (Static

Synchronous Series Compensators) that generates or absorbs reactive power to regulate the current flow, and hence
the power flows on the transmission line.
C. Operating modes of UPFC
The UPFC has many possible operating modes. In particular, the shunt inverter is operating in such a way to inject
a controllable current, into the transmission line. This current consists of two components with respect to the line
voltage: the real or direct component, which is in phase or in opposite phase with the line voltage, and the reactive
or quadrature component, which is in quadrature. The direct component is automatically determined by the
requirement to balance the real power of the series inverter. The quadrature component, instead, can be
independently set to any desired reference level (inductive or capacitive) within the capability of the inverter, to
absorb or generate respectively reactive power from the line. The shunt inverter can be controlled in two different
modes:

VAR Control Mode: The reference input is an inductive or capacitive VAR request. The shunt inverter control
translates the VAR reference into a corresponding shunt current request and adjusts gating of the inverter to
establish the desired current. For this mode of control a feedback signal representing the dc bus voltage, V dc, is also
required.

Automatic Voltage Control Mode: The shunt inverter reactive current is automatically regulated to maintain the
transmission line voltage at the point of connection to a reference value. For this mode of control, voltage feedback
signals are obtained from the sending end bus feeding the shunt coupling transformer. The series inverter controls
the magnitude and angle of the voltage injected in series with the line to influence the power flow on the line. The
actual value of the injected voltage can be obtained in several ways.

Direct Voltage Injection Mode: The reference inputs are directly the magnitude and phase angle of the series
voltage.

Phase Angle Shifter Emulation Mode: The reference input is phase displacement between the sending end
voltage and the receiving end voltage.

Line Impedance Emulation Mode: The reference input is an impedance value to insert in series with the line
impedance.

IV. SIMULATION AND RESULTS

By using MATLAB / SIMULINK digital simulation is being done and accordingly results are presented. In Figure
5 Standard IEEE 14 bus system is shown. Figure 6 shows the simulation model of IEEE 14 bus system in
MATLAB / SIMULINK. The SIMULINK model of IEEE 14 bus system with Unified power flow controller is
presented in Figure 7. Specific waveforms are given in the figures. In the transmission line approximate
performance evaluation with and without unified power flow controller has been studied. Series RL combination
represent the line impedance. The waveform of output voltage across load 1 and load 2 without UPFC is presented
in Figure 8 and Figure 9 and the waveform of output voltage across load 1 and load 2 with UPFC in Figure 10 and
Figure 11. Figure 12 shows the active and reactive power with and without UPFC. These waveforms are obtained
by simulating the SIMULINK diagram for test system in the environment of Sim Power Systems toolbox of
MATLAB. Ode 23tb [stiff/TR-BDF2] solver is used as developed SIMULINK model involves nonlinear elements.

The magnitude of voltage at bus 1 is conformed to 1.06 per unit. Line impedances are taken in per unit on a
100-MVA base. The power injections at the corresponding buses and increment in the power at corresponding
buses can be observed in Table B and we can observe the hike in the active power at the corresponding buses.

V. CONCLUSION
In simulation study, to simulate the model of UPFC connected to a IEEE 14 bus system MATLAB / SIMULINK
software is used. The modeling of unified power flow controller and scrutiny of power system installed with UPFC
has been presented, which is skillful for figuring out large power network very faithfully with the UPFC. The
research analogous to the fluctuation to the control parameters and fruition / work of UPFC on power quality
outcome are carried out. The bump of UPFC on power flow system has been tested fully on standard IEEE 14 Bus
system. For standard IEEE 14 bus system the voltage compensation using UPFC system is also being studied. The
potency of UPFC to regulate the real and reactive power can be spotted out from simulation results. When UPFC is
inaugurated it is found that there is improvement in real and reactive power through the system.
