Performance Analysis of Power Flow Control Through Statcom, SVC and UPFC

This paper presents, “Performance Analysis of power flow control through FACTS Devices in Power System. In a power system network consisting of generators, transmission lines, transformers and load etc., STATCOM, SVC and UPFC are applied between two buses separately and their effects are analyzed as par applied system conditions. Power flow between different buses and voltage regulation of above FACTS devices is found out. Simulation of the system was carried out in Matlab environment. In this analysis system was simulated by introducing reference power at the bus where UPFC is connected. UPFC injects series voltage in line and follows reference power as required. SVC and STATCOM are simulated in voltage regulation mode where a reference voltage is given at the bus to which they are connected. Their voltage regulation capabilities and reactive power compensation ability is analyzed.
