Abstract

The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is regarded as one of the most versatile devices in the FACTS device family which has the ability to control the power flow in the transmission line, improve the transient stability, mitigate system oscillation, and provide voltage support. In this book chapter, the problem of UPFC based damping controller is formulated as an optimization problem which is solved using classic and Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization technique (QPSO). Two different objective functions are proposed in this work for the UPFC based damping controller design problem. The first objective function is the eigenvalues based comprising the damping factor, and the damping ratio of the lightly damped electromechanical modes, while the second is the time domain-based multi-objective function. The performance of the proposed controllers under different disturbances and loading conditions is investigated for a single machine infinite bus and multi-machine power systems. The results of the proposed controllers are demonstrated through eigenvalue analysis and nonlinear time domain simulation.
