Abstract

It has recently been illustrated that the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) installation location plays an important role in effecting nonlinearly in the UPFC steady state performance of the system. A Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) based on UPFC as a voltage regulator is modeled and analyzed to investigate the optimal position in the transmission line. From the study made in this paper, it is shown that the location of UPFC plays a significant part in effecting nonlinearly. It is also found from the simulation results that the distribution of the active and reactive power flows can be controlled by varying the modulation index of the device.
