Comarision Of Distributed Power-Flow Controller (DPFC) And Generalized Unified Power Flow Controller (GUPFC) In Power Quality Improvement

Abstract: The present paper describes the steady-state response and control of power in transmission line equipped with FACTS devices. Detailed simulations are carried out on two-machine systems to illustrate the control features of these devices and their influence to increase power transfer capability and improve system reliability. The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC) and DPFC and Generalized Unified Power Flow Controller(GUPFC) has the same control capability as the UPFC. The DPFC can be considered as a UPFC with an eliminated common dc link. The active power exchange between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. In this paper Generalized Unified Power Flow Controller(GUPFC) has been analysed for both open loop and close loop configuration. For this a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system is simulated
