A Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Unified Power Flow Controller, Sebaa Morsli, Allaoui Tayeb, Denai Mouloud, Chaker Abdelkader

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper investigates the control of a unified power flow controller (UPFC) to improve the stability of a power system, hence providing security under increased power flow conditions. The proposed control methods include a direct proportional and integral (PI) controller and an adaptive fuzzy logic controller (AFLC). The performances of these controllers were evaluated under different operating conditions of the power system and the results demonstrated that PI and AFLC are very effective in improving the transient power system stability and very robust against variable transmission line parameters.

Optimal Design Of Upfc-Based Damping Controller Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm, Ali Ajami, Reza Gholizadeh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, the optimal design of supplementary controller parameters of a unified power flow controller (UPFC) to damp low-frequency oscillations in a weakly connected system is investigated. The individual design of the UPFC controller, using the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) technique over a wide range of operating conditions, is discussed. The effectiveness and validity of the proposed controller on damping low-frequency oscillations is tested through a time-domain simulation and eigenvalue analysis under 4 loading conditions and a large disturbance. The simulation results, carried out using MATLAB/Simulink software, reveal that the tuned ICA-based UPFC controller has an excellent capability of …
