Unified Power Flow Controller Under the guidance of Mr. Debashisha Jena
INTRODUCTION • Two main objectives of FACTS • Increase the TX capability of AC line • Control of power flow over the TX routes • UPFCs - most effective FACTS device • UPFC – a device which control TX line impedance, voltage and phase angle
BASIC CONSTRUCTION OF A UPFC • Consists of two switching GTO converters • Shunt-connected • Series-connected • Both converters can operate in a rectifier mode or in an inverter mode • A DC branch links these two converters by a storage capacitor.
Operating Principle • Conceptually, a generalized SVS • Converter2 injects a voltage Vpq with phase angle ρ in series with TX line via an insertion transformer • Main function of converter1 is to supply the real power demanded by converter2 at the DC link • No reactive power flow through DC link
TX control capabilities Vpq = ±ΔV (ρ = 0). Vpq = Vq Vpq= Vб Vpq = ΔV + Vq + Vб
Phasor representation of the UPFC Basic asumption (Vpq =0) P0(δ) = {V2/X} sin δ = sin δ Q0(δ) = Q0r(δ) = -Q0r(δ) = {V2/X}{1-cos δ } = I-cos δ
Phasor representation of the UPFC For Vpq0 ,
Conclusion • Most sophisticated power flow controller Expensive • Gives better performance as compared to STATCOM,SSSC and TCSC • Provide simultaneous, real-time control of all basic power system parameters (transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle) and dynamic compensation of ac system
