FACTS
Flexible AC Transmission System (Facts) is
a new integrated concept based on power
electronic switching converters and dynamic
controllers to enhance the system utilization
and power transfer capacity as well as the
stability, security, reliability and power
quality of AC system interconnections .
BENEFITS OF FACTS

Regulation of power        flows   in   prescribed
transmission routes.

Reduces the need for construction of           new
transmission lines, capacitors and reactors.

Provides greater ability to transfer power between
controlled areas.

These devices help to damp the power oscillations
that could damage the equipment.
Improves the transient stability of the
system.

Controls real and reactive power flow in the
line independently.

Damping of oscillations which can threaten
security or limit the usable line capacity.

INTRODUCTION TO UPFC
The UPFC is a device which can control simultaneously all
three parameters of line power flow

  Such "new" FACTS device combines together the
features of two "old" FACTS devices:
     1. STATCOM
     2. SSSC

These two devices are two Voltage Source Inverters (VSI’s)
connected respectively in shunt with the transmission line
through a shunt transformer and in series with the
transmission line through a series transformer, connected to
each other by a common dc link including a storage
capacitor.
The shunt inverter is used for voltage regulation
at the point of connection injecting an opportune
reactive power flow into the line and to balance
the real power flow exchanged between the
series inverter and the transmission line.


The series inverter can be used to control the
real and reactive line power flow inserting an
opportune voltage with controllable magnitude
and phase in series with the transmission line.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:

The basic configuration of a UPFC, which is installed between the
sending-end Vs and the receiving-end VR. The UPFC consists of a
combination of a series device and a shunt device, the dc terminals of
which are connected to a common dc link capacitor .




             Fig1: Basic configuration of UPFC
FUNCTIONAL CONTROL OF SHUNT INVERTER
   The shunt inverter is operating in such a way to inject a controllable
  current Ic into the transmission line.

  This current consist of two components with respect to the line voltage:
  1. the real or direct component id
  2. reactive or quadrature component iq

  The direct component is automatically determined by the requirement to
  balance the real power of the series inverter. The quadrature component,
  instead, can be independently set to any desired reference level (inductive
  or capacitive) within the capability of the inverter, to absorb or generate
  respectively reactive power from the line. So, two control modes are
  possible:

 VAR control mode : the reference input is an inductive or capacitive var
  request;

 Automatic Voltage Control mode: the goal is to maintain the
  transmission line voltage at the connection point to a reference value.
FUNCTIONAL CONTROL OF SERIES INVERTER

The series inverter injects a voltage, Vse which is controllable in
amplitude and phase angle in series with the transmission line.

   This series voltage can be determined in different ways:

Direct Voltage Injection Mode: The reference inputs are directly the
magnitude and phase angle of the series voltage.

Phase Angle Shifter Emulation Mode: The reference input is phase
displacement between the sending end voltage and the receiving end
voltage.

Line Impedance Emulation Mode: The reference input is an
impedance value to insert in series with the line impedance.

Automatic Power flow Control Mode: The reference inputs are values
of P and Q to maintain on the transmission line despite system changes.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF UPFC

Control schemes
PHASE-ANGLE CONTROL
Adjusting the amplitude of the 90" leading or
lagging output voltage makes it possible to
control active power .
  The d-q frame coordinates based on space
vectors, the d-axis current id corresponds to
active power, and so it can be controlled by the
q-axis voltage Vcq. Therefore, the reference
voltage vector for the series device is given by
                   ………..
CROSS-COUPLING CONTROL
The "cross-coupling control" has not only an
active power feedback loop but also a reactive
power feedback loop.

This control scheme is characterized by
controlling both the magnitude and the phase
angle
GENERALIZED CONTROL SCHEME
 This "generalized control scheme." The reference
voltage vector for the series device,          is
generalized, as follows




 A voltage vector produced by the two terms is in
phase with the current error vector i*-i. This means
that the UPFC acts as a damping resistor against
power swings.
Automatic UPFC
CONCLUSION
Conventional power feedback control schemes make the
UPFC induce power fluctuations in transient states.

The time constant of damping is independent of the active
and reactive power feedback gains Kp and Kq.

The feedback gain Kr with a physical meaning of resistor is
effective in damping of power swings.

The proposed control scheme achieves quick response of
active and reactive power without causing power swings
and producing steady state errors.
