Diminishing of Losses In A Transmission Line By Using UPFC DIMINISHING OF LOSSES IN A TRANSMISSION LINE BY USING UPFC MALATHI.KALYANI Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Lecturer in GPT Narayan Khed, Medak, Andhra Pradesh, India. Abstract—The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the most versatile and complex power electronic equipment that has emerged for the control and optimization of power flow in electrical power transmission system. This paper presents real and reactive power flow control through a transmission line by placing UPFC at the sending end. When no UPFC is installed, real and reactive power losses in the transmission line can not be controlled. This paper presents control and performance of UPFC intended for installation on that transmission line to minimize losses. Installing the UPFC makes it possible to control an amount of active power flowing through the line. Based on the conventional power system state estimation model, a kind of model for state estimation with UPFC is introduced in this paper, in which power injection model is used and the affect of UPFC on the power flow is transferred to the two nodes of the corresponding transmission line. This method can be integrated to the conventional state estimation using MATLAB Programming with the consideration of UPFC. To show the validity of the proposed techniques a five-bus, and an IEEE-14 bus test power systems are proposed.

I. and reactive power flows on a transmission line. So, there has been increasing interest in the analysis of UPFC in power system. The UPFC can provide simultaneous control of all basic power system parameters (transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle). The controller can fulfill functions of reactive shunt compensation, series compensation and phase shifting meeting multiple control objectives. From a functional perspective, the objectives are met by applying a boosting transformer injected voltage and a exciting transformer reactive current. The injected voltage is inserted by a series transformer. A new method is introduced to incorporate UPFC devices into the power losses minimization. This paper attempts to deduce the model of power losses with UPFC using the conventional power load flow studies by using Newton-Rapshon method. A power injection model that transfers the affect of UPFC towards the power flow to the two nodes is presented. This method can be integrated to the conventional load flow studies program with the consideration of UPFC. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that the model is compared with and with out UPFC using MATLAB Programming. INTRODUCTION Today’s power systems are highly complex and require careful design of new devices taking into consideration the already existing equipment, especially for transmission systems in new deregulated electricity markets. This is not an easy task considering that power engineers are severely limited by economic and environmental issues. Thus, this requires a review of traditional methods and the creation of new concepts that emphasize a more efficient use of already existing power system resources with out reduction in system stability and security. In the late 1980s, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) introduced a new approach to solve the problem of designing and operating power systems; the proposed concept is known as Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS).The two main objectives of FACTS are to increase the transmission capacity and control power flow over designated transmission routes. The improvements in the field of power electronics have had major impact on the development of the concept itself. Since the concept of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) was proposed by Hingorani in the 1860s, many various FACTS devices have been utilized to meet a growing demand of the transfer capabilities due to developing wheeling transactions in the deregulation environment. Some interesting applications of FACTS devices can be found to economic dispatch(ED), AC/DC optimal power flow (OPF), available transfer capability (ATC), contract path based electricity trading, and transmission congestion management. UPFC, a versatile FACTS device, has the unique capability to control simultaneously both the voltage magnitude and active 11. Operating Principle of UPFC The basic components of the UPFC are two Voltage source inverters (VSIs) sharing a common dc storage capacitor, and connected to the power System through coupling transformers. One VSI is connected to in shunt to the transmission system via a shunt transformer, while the other one is connected in series through a series transformer.A basic UPFC functional scheme is shown in fig.1.

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 that generates or absorbs reactive power to regulate the voltage magnitude at the connection point. Instead, the series inverter is operating as SSSC that generates or absorbs reactive power to regulate the current flow, and hence the power flows on the transmission line. The UPFC has many possible operating modes. In particular the power injection method is used to increase the active power and reduce the losses in power system. Psj = r bs vi vjsin (θij+γ) Qsj = r bs vi vjsin (θij+γ) Where, 1 — Xs r and γ are the UPFC variables representing the ratio of series transformer voltage to ith bus voltage in p.u. and the angle of the series voltage in radians respectively. The term bs is the susceptance of the series transformer combined with line susceptance Xs This relationship puts a constraint on the independent control of the converters. Nevertheless, the reactive power of the shunt converter can be controlled independently for bus voltage or VAR control and the power flow through the line can be controlled through r and γ. For a scheduled delivery of power at the receiving end, r and γ will be fixed. Besides the bus power injections, it is useful to have expressions for power flows from both sides of the UPFC injection model defined. At the UPFC shunt side, the active and reactive power flows are given as Pi1 = -r bs vi vj sin (θij+γ) − bs vi vj sin θij (1) Qi1 = -r bs vi2 cos γ+Qconv1 – bs vi2+ bs vi vj cos θij (2) bs = Whereas at the series side they are Pj2 = -r bs vi vjsin (θij+γ) − bs vi vj sin θij (3) Qj2 = -r bs vi2 cos γ+Qconv1– bs vi2+ bs vi vj cos θij (4) 111. Mathematical Model of Upfc The basic structure and operation of the UPFC can be represented through the model shown infig.2. The simple power-injection model is used here where the series- and shunt converter voltages are replaced by nodal power injections as shown in Fig 2. The magnitude and phase angle of the series voltage produced by the converter and the magnitude and phase angle of the AC voltage applied across. In the steady state, the real power flowing through the shunt converter equals the real power exchanged between the series converter and the transmission system the shunt converter can be controlled independently. The UPFC injection model is thereby defined by the constant series branch susceptance, bs, which is included in the system bus admittance matrix, and the bus power injections Psi, Qsi, Psj and Qsj. If there is a control objective to be achieved, the bus power injections are modified through changes of the UPFC parameters r, γ and Qconv1 . The LF model discussed here assumes that the UPFC is operated to keep (i) real and reactive power flows at the receiving bus and (ii) sending bus voltage magnitude at their prespecified values Here the Newton-Rapshon algorithmis used to fing the load flow solution of a Proceedings of 3rd IRF International Conference .Chennai, 23rd Feb. 2014, ISBN: 978-93-82702-60-3 19 Diminishing of Losses In A Transmission Line By Using UPFC particular system The algorithm for solving a power flow problem without and with UPFC is implemented by using the MATLAB programming Fig.3 Operation Scheme for minimization of losses CONCLUSIONS Equations which describe the losses minimization by using power injection method are obtained.
