CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The significance of power factor correction (PFC) has long been visualized as

a technology requirement for improving the efficiency of a power system network by

compensating for the fundamental reactive power generated or consumed by simple

inductive or capacitive loads. With the Information Age in full swing, the growth of

high reliability, low cost electronic products have led utilities to escalate their power

quality concerns created by the increase of such “switching loads.” These products

include: entertainment devices such as Digital TVs, DVDs, and audio equipment;

information technology devices such as PCs, printers, and fax-machines; variable

speed motor drives for HVAC and white goods appliances; food preparation and

cooking products such as microwaves and cook tops; and lighting products, which

include electronic ballasts, LED and fluorescent lamps, and other power conversion

devices that operate a variety of lamps. The drivers that have resulted in this

proliferation are a direct result of the availability of low-cost switch-mode devices and

control circuitry in all major end-use segments: residential, commercial, and

industrial.

In order to keep power quality under the limits proposed by standards, it is

required to incorporate some sort of compensation. There are two basic types of PFC

circuits: active and passive. The simplest power factor correctors can be implemented

using a passive filter to suppress the harmonics in conjunction with capacitors or

inductors to generate or consume the fundamental reactive power, respectively.

Active power factor correction circuits have proven to be more effective, generally

integrated with the switch-mode circuitry, and actively control the input current of the

load. This enables the most efficient delivery of electrical power from the power grid

to the load. The demand for new smart, green products has set the stage for a

worldwide migration from antiquated passive circuits to active correctors as well as

from traditional analog technology to digital techniques. New digital active power

factor correction delivers better full- and light-load power efficiency while lowering

system costs, enabling smaller designs and providing a clear path for further feature

enhancements and improved competitive positioning for a whole host of consumer

and industrial products. Cirrus Logic’s novel advances in digital active PFC

technology signify a major enabling element in the development of the newest generation of

low cost, energy-efficient switch mode products.

CHAPTER 2

FLEXIBLE AC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM (FACTS)

Power Factor (PF) is one of the first concepts introduced in a basic course on AC

circuit theory. Despite its apparent simplicity, it is frequently misunderstood and misapplied

due to misconceptions about the fundamental definition. The growing level of harmonic

currents generated by modern electronic devices has prompted government and industry to

look closer at the link between poor PF and harmonics created by “switching loads”. Power

factor is traditionally defined as the phase difference or displacement angle between

sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms created by linear loads (i.e. simple resistive and

reactive loads). When the AC load is partly capacitive or inductive, the current waveform is

out of phase with the voltage requiring additional AC current to be generated that is not

consumed by the load. These electrical losses (I2R) are consumed by the power delivery

system, e.g. power cables, transformers, etc. If the AC load is non-linear (i.e. current does not

very smoothly with voltage as in “switching loads”), the complex waveform’s PF is resolved

into fundamental frequency and its harmonics. Switching mode power supplies (SMPS) are a

good example onion-linear loads. SMPS conducts current in short pulses that are in phase

with the line voltage but is not a pure sine wave creating line harmonics.

These harmonic currents do not contribute to the load power. ENERGY STAR

Version 2.0 for External Power Supply defines true power factor as the ratio of the active, or

real, power (P) consumed in watts to the apparent power (S), drawn in volt-amperes (VA).

This definition of power factor includes the effect of both distortion and Displacement

Power factor correction (PFC) is a feature designed into the pulse width modulation (PWM)

controller to help regulate, stabilize, and provide the requirements for higher load current and

instantaneous current. The ideal objective for PFC is to drive the power factor as close to

unity as possible, making the load circuitry power factor corrected and the apparent power

equal to the real power. An effective power electronic circuit that controls the amount of

power drawn by a load in order to sustain a power factor as close as possible to unity is an

active PFC. Active PFC circuits control the load current in addition to shaping the input-

current waveform to follow a sinusoidal reference, the AC mains voltage.

The electricity supply industry is undergoing a profound transformation worldwide.

Market forces, scarcer natural resources, and an ever-increasing demand for electricity are

some of the drivers responsible for such unprecedented change. Against this background of

rapid evolution, the expansion programs of many utilities are being thwarted by a variety of

well-founded, environment, land-use, and regulatory pressures that prevent the licensing and

building of new transmission lines and electricity generating plants.

The ability of the transmission system to transmit power becomes impaired by one or

more of the following steady state and dynamic limitations:

(a) Angular stability,

(b) Voltage magnitude,

(c) Thermal limits,

(d) Transient stability, and

(e) Dynamic stability.

Page 7: Power factor improvement using upfc

viii

These limits define the maximum electrical power to be transmitted without causing

damage to transmission lines and electrical equipment. In principle, limitations on power

transfer can always be relieved by the addition of new transmission lines and generation

facilities. Alternatively, flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) controllers

can enable the same objectives to be met with no major alterations to power system layout.

FACTS are alternating current transmission systems incorporating power electronic-based

and other static controllers to enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability.

The FACTS concept is based on the substantial incorporation of power electronic devices and

methods into the high-voltage side of the network, to make it electronically controllable.

2.1 OBJECTIVES OF FACTS CONTROLLERS

The main objectives of FACTS controllers are the following:

1. Regulation of power flows in prescribed transmission routes.

2. Secure loading of transmission lines nearer to their thermal limits.

3. Prevention of cascading outages by contributing to emergency control.

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

The implementation of the above objectives requires the development of high power

compensators and controllers. The technology needed for this is high power electronics with

real-time operating control. The realization of such an overall system optimization control

can be considered as an additional objective of FACTS controllers.

2.2 BASIC TYPES OF FACTS CONTROLLERS

In general, FACTS Controllers can be divided into four categories:

• Series Controllers

• Shunt Controllers

• Combined series-series Controllers

• Combined series-shunt Controllers

2.2.1 SERIES CONTROLLERS:

The series Controller could be variable impedance, such as capacitor, reactor, etc., or

power electronics based variable source of main frequency, sub-synchronous and harmonic

frequencies (or a combination) to serve the desired need. In principle, all series Controllers

inject voltage in series with the line. Even variable impedance multiplied by the current flow

through it, represents an injected series voltage in the line. As long as the voltage is in phase

quadrature with the line current, the series Controller only supplies or consumes variable

reactive power. Any other phase relationship will involve handling of real power as well.

2.2.2 SHUNT CONTROLLERS:

As in the case of series Controllers, the shunt Controllers may be variable impedance,

variable source, or a combination of these. In principle, all shunt Controllers inject current

into the system at the point of connection. Even a variable shunt impedance connected to the

line voltage causes a variable current flow and hence represents injection of current into the

line. As long as the injected current is in phase quadrature with the line voltage, the shunt

Controller only supplies or consumes variable reactive power. Any other phase relationship

will involve handling of real power as well.

2.2.3 COMBINED SERIES-SERIES CONTROLLERS:

This could be a combination of separate series controllers, which are controlled in a

coordinated manner, in a multiline transmission system. Or it could be a unified Controller,

figure 2.3, in which series Controllers provide independent series reactive compensation for

each line but also transfer real power among the lines via the power link. The real power

transfer capability of the unified series-series Controller, referred to as Interline Power Flow

Controller, makes it possible to balance both the real and reactive power flow in the lines and

thereby maximize the utilization of the transmission system. Note that the term "unified" here

means that the de terminals of all Controller converters are all connected together for real

power transfer.

2.2.4 COMBINED SERIES-SHUNT CONTROLLERS:

This could be a combination of separate shunt and series Controllers, which are

controlled in a coordinated manner or a Unified Power Flow Controller with series and shunt

elements. In principle, combined shunt and series Controllers inject current into the system

Page 10: Power factor improvement using upfc

xi

with the shunt part of the Controller and voltage in series in the line with the series part of the

Controller. However, when the shunt and series Controllers are unified, there can be a real

power exchange between the series and shunt Controllers via the power link.

2.3 BENEFITS OF FACTS CONTROLLERS

FACTS controllers enable the transmission owners to obtain, on a case-by-case basis,

one or more of the following benefits:

1. Cost: Due to high capital cost of transmission plant, cost considerations frequently

overweigh all other considerations. Compared to alternative methods of solving transmission

loading problems, FACTS technology is often the most economic alternative.

2. Convenience: All FACTS controllers can be retrofitted to existing ac transmission plant

with varying degrees of ease. Compared to high voltage direct current or six-phase

transmission schemes, solutions can be provided without wide scale system disruption and

within a reasonable timescale.

3. Control of power flow to follow a contract, meet the utilities own needs, ensure optimum

power flow, minimize the emergency conditions, or a combination thereof.

4. Contribute to optimal system operation by reducing power losses and improving voltage

profile.

5. Increase the loading capability of the lines to their thermal capabilities, including short

term and seasonal.

6. Increase the system security by raising the transient stability limit, limiting short-circuit

currents and overloads, managing cascading blackouts and damping electromechanical

oscillations of power systems and machines.

CHAPTER 3

BASIC PRINCIPLE OF UPFC

The continuing rapid development of high-power semiconductor technology now

makes it possible to control electrical power systems by means of power electronic devices.

These devices constitute an emerging technology called FACTS (flexible alternating current

transmission systems). FACTS technology has a number of benefits, such as greater power

flow control, increased secure loading of existing transmission circuits, damping of power

system oscillations, less environmental impact and, potentially, less cost than most alternative

techniques of transmission system reinforcement. The UPFC is the most versatile of the

FACTS devices. It cannot only perform the functions of the static synchronous compensator

(STATCOM), thyristor switched capacitor (TSC) thyristor controlled reactor (TCR), and the

phase angle regulator but also provides additional flexibility by combining some of the

functions of the above controllers. Both the magnitude and the phase angle of the voltage can

be varied independently. Real and reactive power flow control can allow for power flow in

prescribed routes, loading of transmission lines closer to their thermal limits and can be

utilized for improving transient and small signal stability of the power system. The schematic

of the UPFC is shown in Fig.3.1

Page 12: Power factor improvement using upfc

xiii

fig.3.1 Schematic diagram of UPFC

The UPFC consists of two branches. The series branch consists of a voltage source converter,

which injects a voltage in series through a transformer. The inverter at the input end of the

UPFC is connected in shunt to the AC power system and the inverter at the input end of the

UPFC is connected in series with the AC transmission circuit. Since the series branch of the

UPFC can inject a voltage with variable magnitude and phase angle it can exchange

real power with the transmission line. However the UPFC as a whole cannot supply or absorb

real power in steady state (except for the power drawn to compensate for the losses) unless it

has a power source at its DC terminals. The UPFC can control the transmission real power, at

its series-connected output end, while independently providing reactive power support to the

transmission line at its shunt-connected input end. Furthermore, the UPFC can independently

control real and reactive power flow along the transmission line at its output end, while

providing reactive power support to the transmission line at its input end. It has been shown

that it is possible to independently control real and reactive power flow at the UPFC input

circuit by regulating the DC-link capacitor voltage and varying both the phase angle and the

modulation index of the input inverter. The DC-link capacitor voltage (Vdc) is unregulated.

The main parameter of a power system i.e. line impedance (X), terminal voltage (V)

and Lt rotor angle (∂). The effectiveness of UPFC is analyzed by analyzing, damping of the

oscillation of rotor angle (∂) and change in angular speed (∂w) is analyzed in the three

machine of the 3-machine nine bus system. The control of an AC power system in real time is

involved because power flow is a function of the transmission line impedance, the magnitude

of the sending and receiving end voltages, and the phase angle between these voltages. Years

ago, electric power systems were relatively simple and were designed to be self-sufficient;

power exportation and importation were rare. Furthermore, it was generally understood that

Page 13: Power factor improvement using upfc

xiv

AC transmission systems could not be controlled fast enough to handle dynamic system

conditions. The sustainability of a power system is the most important point.

3.1 OPERATING MODES OF UPFC

A Unified Power Flow Controller (or UPFC) is an electrical device for providing fast-

acting reactive power compensation on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. It uses

a pair of three-phase controllable bridges to produce current that is injected into a

transmission line using a series transformer. The controller can control active and reactive

power flows in a transmission line. The UPFC uses solid state devices, which provide

functional flexibility, generally not attainable by conventional thyristor controlled systems.

The UPFC is a combination of a static synchronous compensate or (STATCOM) and

a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) coupled via a common DC voltage link. The

UPFC concept was described in 1995 by L. Gyugyi of Westinghouse. The UPFC allows a

secondary but important function such as stability control to suppress power system

oscillations improving the transient stability of power system.

The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the most widely used FACTs

controllers and its main function is to control the voltage, phase angle and impedance of the

power system thereby modulating the line reactance and controlling the power flow in the

transmission line.

The basic components of the UPFC are two voltage source inverters (VSIs) connected

by a common dc storage capacitor which is connected to the power system through a

coupling transformers. One (VSIs) is connected in shunt to the transmission system through a

shunt transformer, while the other (VSIs) is connected in series to the transmission line

through a series transformer. Three phase system voltage of controllable magnitude and

phase angle (Vc) are inserted in series with the line to control active and reactive power flows

in the transmission line. So, this inverter will exchange active and reactive power with in the

line. The shunt inverter is operated in such a way as to demand this dc terminal power

(positive or negative) from the line keeping the voltage across the storage capacitor (Vdc)

constant. So, the net real power absorbed from the line by the UPFC is equal to the only

losses of the inverters and the transformers. The remaining capacity of the shunt inverter can

be used to exchange reactive power with the line so to provide a voltage regulation at the

connection point.

The two VSI‟s can work independently from each other by separating the dc side. So

in that case, the shunt inverter is operating as a (STATCOM) that generates or absorbs

Page 14: Power factor improvement using upfc

xv

reactive power to regulate the voltage magnitude at the connection point. The series inverter

is operating as (SSSC) that generates or absorbs reactive power to regulate the current

flowing in the transmission line and hence regulate the power flows in the transmission line.

The UPFC has many possible operating modes.

fig.3.2 vector representation of UPFC

3.1.1 SHUNT INVERTER

The shunt inverter is operated in such a way as to draw a controlled current from the line.

One component of this current is automatically determined by the requirement to balance the

real power of the series inverter. The remaining current component is reactive and can be set

Page 15: Power factor improvement using upfc

xvi

to any desired reference level (inductive or capacitive) within the capability of the inverter.

The reactive compensation control modes of the shunt inverter are very similar to those

commonly employed on conventional static VAR compensators.

(1) VAR control mode:-The reference input is a simple var request that is maintained by the

control system regardless of bus voltage variation.

(2) Automatic voltage control mode:-The shunt inverter reactive current is automatically

regulated to maintain the transmission line voltage at the point of connection to a reference

value with a defined slope characteristics the slope factor defines the per unit voltage error

per unit of inverter reactive current within the current range of the inverter. In Particular, the

shunt inverter is operating in such a way to inject a controllable current into the transmission

line. The figure 3.3 shows how the (UPFC) is connected to the transmission line.

fig.3.3 shows the UPFC installed in a transmission line

Page 16: Power factor improvement using upfc

3.1.2 SERIES INVERTER

The series inverter controls the magnitude and angle of the voltage injected in series

with the line. This voltage injection is always intended to influence the flow of power on the

line, but the

actual value of the injected voltage can be determined in several different ways. These

include:

DIRECT VOLTAGE INJECTION MODE

The series inverter simply generates a voltage vector with magnitude and phase angle

requested by reference input. A special case of direct voltage injection is when the injected

voltage is kept in quadrature with the line current to provide purely reactive series

compensation. The series inverter injects the appropriate voltage so that the voltage V, is

phase shifted relative to the voltage VI by an angle specified by reference input.

LINE IMPEDANCE EMULATION MODE.

The series injected voltage is controlled in proportion to the line current so that the series

insertion transformer appears as an impedance when viewed from the line. The desired

impedance is specified by reference input and in general it may be a complex impedance with

resistive and reactive components of either polarity. Naturally care must be taken in this

mode to avoid values of negative resistance or capacitive reactance that would cause

resonance or instability.

AUTOMATIC POWER FLOW CONTROL MODE.

The UPFC has the unique capability of independently controlling both the real power

flow. P, on a transmission line and the reactive power, Q, at a specified point. This capability

can be appreciated by interpreting the series injected voltage, Vi",; as a controllable two

dimensional vector quantity. This injected voltage vector can be chosen appropriately to force

any desired current vector (within limits) to flow on the line, hence establishing a

corresponding power flow. In automatic power flow control mode, the series injected voltage

is determined automatically and continuously by a vector control system to ensure that the

desired P and Q are maintained despite system changes.

3.2 DESCRIPTION OF SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM:

The power flow in a 500 kV /230 kV transmission systems is shown in single line in

fig 2. The system is connected in a loop configuration, consists of five buses (B1 to B5)

interconnected through three transmission lines (L1, L2, L3) and two 500 kV/230 kV

transformer banks Tr1 and Tr2. Two power plants located on the 230 kV system generate a

total of 1500 MW (illustrated in figure 2) which is transmitted to a 500 kV, 15000 MVA

equivalent and to a 200 MW load connected at bus B3. Each plant model includes a speed

regulator, an excitation system as well as a power system stabilizer (PSS). In normal

operation, most of the 1200 MW generating capacity power plant P1 is exported to the 500

Page 18: Power factor improvement using upfc

kV equivalents through two 400 MVA transformer connected between buses B4 and B5 .The

UPFC is connected at the right end of line L2 is used to control the active and reactive power

at the 500kv bus B3 the UPFC used here include two 100 MVA, IGBT based converters (one

series converter and one shunt converter) both the converter are interconnected through a DC

bus two voltage source inverter connected by a capacitor charged to a DC voltage realize the

UPFC the converter number one which is a shunt converter draws real power from the source

and exchange it (minus the losses) to the series converter the power balance between the

shunt and series converter is maintained to keep the voltage across the DC link capacitor

constant. The single line diagram is implemented on MATLAB Simulink.

The series converter is rated 100MVA with a maximum voltage injection of 0.1pu the

shunt converter is also rated 100MVA the shunt converter is operated in voltage control mode

and the series converter is operated in power flow control mode the series converter can

inject a maximum of 10% of nominal line to ground voltage.

3.3 STATIC COMPENSATOR (STATCOM)

The emergence of FACTS devices and in particular GTO thyristor-based STATCOM

has enabled such technology to be proposed as serious competitive alternatives to

conventional SVC.A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a regulating device

used on alternating current electricity transmission networks. It is based on a power

electronics voltage-source converter and can act as either a source or sink of reactive AC

power to an electricity network. If connected to a source of power it can also provide active

AC power. It is a member of the FACTS family of devices. Usually a STATCOM is installed

Page 19: Power factor improvement using upfc

xx

to support electricity networks that have a poor power factor and often poor voltage

regulation. There are however, other uses, the most common use is for voltage stability.

fig.3.6 Static Compensator (STATCOM)

3.4 STATIC SYNCHRONOUS SERIES COMPENSATOR (SSSC)

SSSC consists of a static synchronous generator, operated without an external electric

energy source as a series compensator whose output voltage is in quadrature with, and

controllable independently of, the line current for the purpose of increasing or decreasing the

overall reactive voltage drop across the line and thereby controlling the transmitted electric

power. The SSSC may include transiently rated energy storage or energy absorbing devices

to enhance the dynamic behavior of the power system by additional temporary real power

compensation, to increase or decrease momentarily, the overall real (resistive) voltage drop

across the line.
