Abstract

Abstract:
This paper is devoted to the incorporation of the steady state model of the unified power
flow controller (UPFC) in optimal power flow programs using injection model of
UPFC. This model is based on the representation of UPFC in steady state conditions by
two voltage sources with certain reactances. The effects of UPFC control parameters on
generation cost, system voltage profile, and system loadability are studied. The
proposed method has been applied to the IEEE 57-bus system with promising results.
