| Abstract | The FACTS devices are capable of controlling the real and reactive power flow along the line. While Unified Power Flow Controller can control real and, independently, reactive power, Thyristor Controlled Phase Angle Regulator is capable of controlling real power. This ability to control real and reactive power without generation rescheduling can improve the power system performance that includes reduction of line losses, increase of stability margin i.e., voltage improvement, generation angle reduction, and relieving of overloading. The ability to control power flow along the line would also be a motivation for accelerated use of FACTS devices under de-regulation. In the present study both the Unified Power Flow Controller and Thyristor Controlled Phase Angle Regulator has been modeled as controlling either real or reactive power or both real and reactive power. Two steady-state power flow programs has been developed: one using Newton-Raphson method incorporating UPFC and TCPAR, and another using Fast De-coupled load flow incorporating Load and Generation characteristics. Both have been implemented in existing systems including Nepal Power System. |
