The power quality of the electrical system is an important issue for industrial, commercial, and housing uses. An increasing request for high quality electrical power and an increasing number of distorting loads had led to increase the consideration of power quality by customers and utilities. The development and use of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTs) controllers in power transmission systems had led to many applications of these controllers. A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the FACTs elements which is used to control both active and reactive power flow of the transmission line. This paper tried to improve power quality using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based UPFC, where it used to control both active and reactive power flow, decreas the total harmonic distortion (THD), correct power factor, regulate line voltage and enhance transient stability. A comparison study of the performance between the system with a conventional PID controller and FLC has been done. The theoretical analysis has been proved by implementing the system using MATLAB/SIMULINK package.

Power flow control in parallel transmission lines based on UPFCjournalBEEI
The power flow controlled in the electric power network is one of the main factors that affected the modern power systems development. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is a FACTS powerful device that can control both active and reactive power flow of parallel transmission lines branches.

Performance and Analysis of Reactive Power Compensation by Unified Power Flow...ijeei-iaes
The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the most versatile of the FACTS controllers envisaged so far. The main function of the UPFC is to control the flow of real and reactive power by injection of a voltage in series with the transmission line. 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 close to their thermal limits and can be utilized for improving transient and small signal stability of the power system. In this paper UPFC is incorporated in a SMIB (Single Machine Infinite Bus) system and the response of SMIB system has been recorded with and without UPFC, thereafter the comparison of both the output has been done. When no UPFC is installed, real and reactive power through the transmission line cannot be controlled. This paper presents control and performance of UPFC intended for installation on that transmission line to control power flow. Installing the UPFC makes it possible to control amount of active power flowing through the line. Simulations are carried out using MATLAB software to validate the performance of the UPFC.

The study made in this paper concerns the use of the voltage-oriented control (VOC) of three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier with constant switching frequency. This control method, called voltage-oriented controlwith space vector modulation (VOC-SVM). The proposed control scheme has been founded on the transformation between stationary (α-β) and and synchronously rotating (d-q) coordinate system, it is based on two cascaded control loops so that a fast inner loop controls the grid current and an external loop DC-link voltage, while the DC-bus voltage is maintained at the desired level and ansured the unity power factor operation. So, the stable state performance and robustness against the load’s disturbance of PWM rectifiers are boths improved. The proposed scheme has been implemented and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The control system of the VOC-SVM strategy has been built based on dSPACE system with DS1104 controller board. The results obtained show the validity of the model and its control method. Compared with the conventional SPWM method, the VOC-SVM ensures high performance and fast transient response.
In recent years, studies have been investigated the effectiveness of UPFC and TCSC in increasing power transfer capability. However, the effectiveness of these FACTS devices in increasing power transfer capability when the load is non-linear has not been established in a comparative study yet. This paper will explore the steady-state performance of the UPFC and TCSC as impedance compensation models. The effectiveness of both FACTS devices are investigated when they are installed in multi-machine systems with different non-linear load models. Simulation results demonstrate that, upon installing UPFC, more active and reactive powers are received at the sending end bus for different types of non-linear load models. In addition, both active and reactive powers are more sensitive in changing the modulation index of the converters. Furthermore, both the active and reactive powers are less sensitive to the non-linearity of the load model type. However, active and reactive powers in case of installing TCSC are only sensitive in changing the firing angle (α) when it is between 90º to 110º. Therefore, results from this study clearly encourage the effectiveness of UPFC in comparison to TSCS in terms of increasing power transfer capability applied to non-linear load models.
A Review on Voltage Stability and Power Quality Improvement by using UPFC Con...ijtsrd
Load demand is growing rapidly these days, necessitating an increase in generating capacity to satisfy that demand. Voltage instability arises as a result of external and internal imbalance, causing the bus voltage to fluctuate. The Unified Power Flow Controller UPFC is a FACTS device that is used to maintain steady voltage and enhance power flow in transmission lines. This article examines the use of UPFC to manage both active and reactive power and compares it to other FACTS devices. In comparison to other FACTS devices such as STATCOM, which controls only voltage, TCSC, and SVC, which controls only impedance, UPFC is one of the most promising FACTS devices because it can control phase angle, voltage magnitude, impedance, and various line parameters selectively or simultaneously. It also goes over the UPFC topology in transmission lines in depth.

Development of depth map from stereo images using sum of absolute differences...nooriasukmaningtyas
This article proposes a framework for the depth map reconstruction using stereo images. Fundamentally, this map provides an important information which commonly used in essential applications such as autonomous vehicle navigation, drone’s navigation and 3D surface reconstruction. To develop an accurate depth map, the framework must be robust against the challenging regions of low texture, plain color and repetitive pattern on the input stereo image. The development of this map requires several stages which starts with matching cost calculation, cost aggregation, optimization and refinement stage. Hence, this work develops a framework with sum of absolute difference (SAD) and the combination of two edge preserving filters to increase the robustness against the challenging regions. The SAD convolves using block matching technique to increase the efficiency of matching process on the low texture and plain color regions. Moreover, two edge preserving filters will increase the accuracy on the repetitive pattern region. The results show that the proposed method is accurate and capable to work with the challenging regions. The results are provided by the Middlebury standard dataset. The framework is also efficiently and can be applied on the 3D surface reconstruction. Moreover, this work is greatly competitive with previously available methods.

This paper aims to demonstrate the practical aspects of process control theory for undergraduate students at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bahrain. Both, the ubiquitous proportional integral derivative (PID) as well as model predictive control (MPC) and their auxiliaries were designed and implemented in a real-time framework. The latter was realized through retrofitting an existing plate-and-frame heat exchanger unit that has been operated using an analog PID temperature controller. The upgraded control system consists of a personal computer (PC), low-cost signal conditioning circuit, national instruments USB 6008 data acquisition card, and LabVIEW software. LabVIEW control design and simulation modules were used to design and implement the PID and MPC controllers. The performance of the designed controllers was evaluated while controlling the outlet temperature of the retrofitted plate-and-frame heat exchanger. The distinguished feature of the MPC controller in handling input and output constraints was perceived in real-time. From a pedagogical point of view, realizing the theory of process control through practical implementation was substantial in enhancing the student’s learning and the instructor’s teaching experience.

Servo-hydraulic systems have been extensively employed in various industrial applications. However, these systems are characterized by their highly complex and nonlinear dynamics, which complicates the control design stage of such systems. In this paper, an extended wavelet functional link neural network (EWFLNN) is proposed to control the displacement response of the servo-hydraulic system. To optimize the controller's parameters, a recently developed optimization technique, which is called the modified sine cosine algorithm (M-SCA), is exploited as the training method. The proposed controller has achieved remarkable results in terms of tracking two different displacement signals and handling external disturbances. From a comparative study, the proposed EWFLNN controller has attained the best control precision compared with those of other controllers, namely, a proportional-integralderivative (PID) controller, an artificial neural network (ANN) controller, a wavelet neural network (WNN) controller, and the original wavelet functional link neural network (WFLNN) controller. Moreover, compared to the genetic algorithm (GA) and the original sine cosine algorithm (SCA), the M-SCA has shown better optimization results in finding the optimal values of the controller's parameters.

This paper presents the problem of sensing coverage of layers of the ocean in three dimensional underwater environments. We propose distributed control laws to drive mobile underwater sensors to optimally cover a given confined layer of the ocean. By applying this algorithm at first the mobile underwater sensors adjust their depth to the specified depth. Then, they make a triangular grid across a given area. Afterwards, they randomly move to spread across the given grid. These control laws only rely on local information also they are easily implemented and computationally effective as they use some easy consensus rules. The feature of exchanging information just among neighbouring mobile sensors keeps the information exchange minimum in the whole networks and makes this algorithm practicable option for undersea. The efficiency of the presented control laws is confirmed via mathematical proof and numerical simulations.

The development of the internet of thing (IoT) technology has become a major concern in sustainability of quality of service (SQoS) in terms of efficiency, measurement, and evaluation of services, such as our smart home case study. Based on several ambiguous linguistic and standard criteria, this article deals with quality of service (QoS). We used fuzzy logic to select the most appropriate and efficient services. For this reason, we have introduced a new paradigmatic approach to assess QoS. In this regard, to measure SQoS, linguistic terms were collected for identification of ambiguous criteria. This paper collects the results of other work to compare the traditional assessment methods and techniques in IoT. It has been proven that the comparison that traditional valuation methods and techniques could not effectively deal with these metrics. Therefore, fuzzy logic is a worthy method to provide a good measure of QoS with ambiguous linguistic and criteria. The proposed model addresses with constantly being improved, all the main axes of the QoS for a smart home. The results obtained also indicate that the model with its fuzzy performance importance index (FPII) has efficiently evaluate the multiple services of SQoS.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Smart monitoring system using NodeMCU for maintenance of production machinesnooriasukmaningtyas
Maintenance is an activity that helps to reduce risk, increase productivity, improve quality, and minimize production costs. The necessity for maintenance actions will increase efficiency and enhance the safety and quality of products and processes. On getting these conditions, it is necessary to implement a monitoring system used to observe machines' conditions from time to time, especially the machine parts that often experience problems. This paper presents a low-cost intelligent monitoring system using NodeMCU to continuously monitor machine conditions and provide warnings in the case of machine failure. Not only does it provide alerts, but this monitoring system also generates historical data on machine conditions to the Google Cloud (Google Sheet), includes which machines were down, downtime, issues occurred, repairs made, and technician handling. The results obtained are machine operators do not need to lose a relatively long time to call the technician. Likewise, the technicians assisted in carrying out machine maintenance activities and online reports so that errors that often occur due to human error do not happen again. The system succeeded in reducing the technician-calling time and maintenance workreporting time up to 50%. The availability of online and real-time maintenance historical data will support further maintenance strategy.

Using sustainable energy is the future of our planet earth, this became not only economically efficient but also a necessity for the preservation of life on earth. Because of such necessity, smart grids became a very important issue to be researched. Many literatures discussed this topic and with the development of internet of things (IoT) and smart sensors, smart grids are developed even further. On the other hand, software defined networking is a technology that separates the control plane from the data plan of the network. It centralizes the management and the orchestration of the network tasks by using a network controller. The network controller is the heart of the SDN-enabled network, and it can control other networking devices using software defined networking (SDN) protocols such as OpenFlow.

This design consisted of 2 components, i.e., the external part that included 3 planar coils that were placed outside the body and an internal helical coil (stent) that was implanted into the coronary artery in the human tissue. This technique considered the output power and the transfer efficiency of the overall system, coil geometry like the number of coils per turn, and coil size. The results indicated that this design showed an 82% efficiency in the air if the transmission distance was maintained as 20 mm, which allowed the wireless power supply system to monitor the pressure within the coronary artery when the implanted load resistance was 400 Ω.

Expecting large electric vehicle (EV) usage in the future due to environmental issues, state subsidies, and incentives, the impact of EV charging on the power grid is required to be closely analyzed and studied for power quality, stability, and planning of infrastructure. When a large number of energy storage batteries are connected to the grid as a capacitive load the power factor of the power grid is inevitably reduced, causing power losses and voltage instability. In this work large-scale 18K EV charging model is implemented on IEEE 33 network. Optimization methods are described to search for the location of nodes that are affected most due to EV charging in terms of power losses and voltage instability of the network. Followed by optimized reactive power injection magnitude and time duration of reactive power at the identified nodes. It is shown that power losses are reduced and voltage stability is improved in the grid, which also complements the reduction in EV charging cost. The result will be useful for EV charging stations infrastructure planning, grid stabilization, and reducing EV charging costs.

In this article, an improvement to the positive output super-lift Luo converter (POSLC) has been proposed to get high gain at a low duty cycle. Also, reduce the stress on the switch and diodes, reduce the current through the inductors to reduce loss, and increase efficiency. Using a hybrid switch unit composed of four inductors and two capacitors it is replaced by the main inductor in the elementary circuit. It’s charged in parallel with the same input voltage and discharged in series. The output voltage is increased according to the number of components. The gain equation is modeled. The boundary condition between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) has been derived. Passive components are designed to get high output voltage (8 times at D=0.5) and low ripple about (0.004). The circuit is simulated and analyzed using MATLAB/Simulink. Maximum power point tracker (MPPT) controls the converter to provide the most interest from solar energy.
Third harmonic current minimization using third harmonic blocking transformernooriasukmaningtyas
Zero sequence blocking transformers (ZSBTs) are used to suppress third harmonic currents in 3-phase systems. Three-phase systems where singlephase loading is present, there is every chance that the load is not balanced. If there is zero-sequence current due to unequal load current, then the ZSBT will impose high impedance and the supply voltage at the load end will be varied which is not desired. This paper presents Third harmonic blocking transformer (THBT) which suppresses only higher harmonic zero sequences. The constructional features using all windings in single-core and construction using three single-phase transformers explained. The paper discusses the constructional features, full details of circuit usage, design considerations, and simulation results for different supply and load conditions. A comparison of THBT with ZSBT is made with simulation results by considering four different cases

With an increase of non-linear load in today’s electrical power systems, the rate of power quality drops and the voltage source and frequency deteriorate if not properly compensated with an appropriate device. Filters are most common techniques that employed to overcome this problem and improving power quality. In this paper an improved optimization technique of filter applies to the power system is based on a particle swarm optimization with using artificial neural network technique applied to the unified power flow quality conditioner (PSO-ANN UPQC). Design particle swarm optimization and artificial neural network together result in a very high performance of flexible AC transmission lines (FACTs) controller and it implements to the system to compensate all types of power quality disturbances. This technique is very powerful for minimization of total harmonic distortion of source voltages and currents as a limit permitted by IEEE-519. The work creates a power system model in MATLAB/Simulink program to investigate our proposed optimization technique for improving control circuit of filters. The work also has measured all power quality disturbances of the electrical arc furnace of steel factory and suggests this technique of filter to improve the power quality.

Maintaining network synchronization is important to customer service. Low fluctuations cause voltage instability, non-synchronization in the power system or the problems in the electrical system disturbances, harmonics current and voltages inflation and contraction voltage. Proper tunning of the parameters of stabilizer is prime for validation of stabilizer.

Genetic algorithm was applied to optimize parameters and suppress oscillation. The simulation of the robust composite capacitance system of an infinite single-machine bus was studied using MATLAB was used for optimization purpose. The critical time is an indication of the maximum possible time during which the error can pass in the system to obtain stability through the simulation.

Renewable energy based dynamic tariff system for domestic load managementnooriasukmaningtyas
To deal with the present power-scenario, this paper proposes a model of an advanced energy management system, which tries to achieve peak clipping, peak to average ratio reduction and cost reduction based on effective utilization of distributed generations. This helps to manage conventional loads based on flexible tariff system. The main contribution of this work is the development of three-part dynamic tariff system on the basis of time of utilizing power, available renewable energy sources (RES) and consumers’ load profile. This incorporates consumers’ choice to suitably select for either consuming power from conventional energy sources and/or renewable energy sources during peak or off-peak hours. To validate the efficiency of the proposed model we have comparatively evaluated the model performance with existing optimization techniques using genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. A new optimization technique, hybrid greedy particle swarm optimization has been proposed which is based on the two aforementioned techniques. It is found that the proposed model is superior with the improved tariff scheme when subjected to load management and consumers’ financial benefit. This work leads to maintain a healthy relationship between the utility sectors and the consumers, thereby making the existing grid more reliable, robust, flexible yet cost effective.
Energy harvesting maximization by integration of distributed generation based...nooriasukmaningtyas
The purpose of distributed generation systems (DGS) is to enhance the distribution system (DS) performance to be better known with its benefits in the power sector as installing distributed generation (DG) units into the DS can introduce economic, environmental and technical benefits. Those benefits can be obtained if the DG units' site and size is properly determined. The aim of this paper is studying and reviewing the effect of connecting DG units in the DS on transmission efficiency, reactive power loss and voltage deviation in addition to the economical point of view and considering the interest and inflation rate. Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is introduced to find the best solution to the distributed generation penetration problem in the DS. The result of WOA is compared with the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and grey wolf optimizer (GWO). The proposed solutions methodologies have been tested using MATLAB software on IEEE 33 standard bus system
Intelligent fault diagnosis for power distribution systemcomparative studiesnooriasukmaningtyas
Short circuit is one of the most popular types of permanent fault in power distribution system. Thus, fast and accuracy diagnosis of short circuit failure is very important so that the power system works more effectively. In this paper, a newly enhanced support vector machine (SVM) classifier has been investigated to identify ten short-circuit fault types, including single line-toground faults (XG, YG, ZG), line-to-line faults (XY, XZ, YZ), double lineto-ground faults (XYG, XZG, YZG) and three-line faults (XYZ). The performance of this enhanced SVM model has been improved by using three different versions of particle swarm optimization (PSO), namely: classical PSO (C-PSO), time varying acceleration coefficients PSO (T-PSO) and constriction factor PSO (K-PSO). Further, utilizing pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS)-based time domain reflectometry (TDR) method allows to obtain a reliable dataset for SVM classifier. The experimental results performed on a two-branch distribution line show the most optimal variant of PSO for short fault diagnosis.

More than eighty-five to ninety percentage of the diabetic patients are affected with diabetic retinopathy (DR) which is an eye disorder that leads to blindness. The computational techniques can support to detect the DR by using the retinal images. However, it is hard to measure the DR with the raw retinal image. This paper proposes an effective method for identification of DR from the retinal images. In this research work, initially the Weiner filter is used for preprocessing the raw retinal image. Then the preprocessed image is segmented using fuzzy c-mean technique. Then from the segmented image, the features are extracted using grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). After extracting the fundus image, the feature selection is performed stochastic gradient descent, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for accurate identification during the classification process. Then the inception v3-convolutional neural network (IV3-CNN) model is used in the classification process to classify the image as DR image or non-DR image. By applying the proposed method, the classification performance of IV3-CNN model in identifying DR is studied. Using the proposed method, the DR is identified with the accuracy of about 95%, and the processed retinal image is identified as mild DR.

The power quality of the electrical system is an important issue for industrial,
commercial, and housing uses. An increasing request for high quality electrical
power and an increasing number of distorting loads had led to increase the
consideration of power quality by customers and utilities. The development
and use of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTs)
controllers in power transmission systems had led to many applications of
these controllers. A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the FACTs
elements which is used to control both active and reactive power flow of the
transmission line. This paper tried to improve power quality using a fuzzy
logic controller (FLC) based UPFC, where it used to control both active and
reactive power flow, decreas the total harmonic distortion (THD), correct
power factor, regulate line voltage and enhance transient stability. A
comparison study of the performance between the system with a conventional
PID controller and FLC has been done. The theoretical analysis has been
proved by implementing the system using MATLAB/SIMULINK package.

1. INTRODUCTION
Recently, the term power quality (PQ) takes more consideration by the electrical engineers. The power
quality is a very important issue related to the voltage, current, and frequency of the power system. Many
circuits such as magnetic circuits, non-linear loads, converters, and flexible alternating current transmission
system (FACTs) devices represent source of harmonics and problems with adversely influence to the power
quality. In electrical engineering the term power quality may take several meanings such as (voltage quality),
(current quality), (service quality), (supply reliability), (quality of source). The power quality of the power
system may be faced with many problems like voltage sag, voltage swell, harmonics distortion, absence or lack
of VAR compensation units, voltage interruptions, and transient conditions. To improve the performance of a
microgrid, it is required to manage the fluctuation of reactive power efficiently and this is known as reactive
power compensation.
The FACTs can mitigate electrical power problems in different conditions (steady-state, transient, and
post transient steady-state) [1-4]. It can be classified into four types, the first type is shunt controllers such as
static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), the second type is series controllers, for example, static
synchronous series compensator (SSSC), the third type is a combination between the series and shunt
controllers such as unified power flow controller (UPFC) and the final type is a combination between two
series controllers such as interline power controller (IPFC) [5-9].
The SSSC is used to control power flow and to improve transient stability [10-12], while the STATCOM

is used to regulate line voltage by injecting or absorbing the reactive power to the system [13-17]. The UPFC is one
of the FACTS family members with very versatile uses [18-21], it has the ability to control the transmission line
parameters (voltage, impedance, and phase angle) at the same time. It consists of two converters: series converter
and a shunt converter are connected by a common DC link capacitor, which can simultaneously control the
transmission line active and reactive power flow as well as to UPFC bus voltage [22-24].
This paper presents a simulation study of UPFC, connected with four busses (B1, B2, B3 and B4) system
of 100-MVA, 500 KV and two of three-level 48-pulse GTO based converters in order to eliminate the
harmonics and decrease the total harmonic distortion (THD). In order to increase the stability and to obtain
optimum power flow, an optimum value of DC capacitor has been selected between the converters.
2. UNIFIED POWER FLOW CONTROLLER (UPFC)
The UPFC was invented for realtime control and dynamic compensation of ac transmission systems.
It delivers multifunctional flexibility to solve many of the problems facing the power delivery industries. UPFC
is able to control simultaneously or individually all the parameters (i.e. voltage, phase angle, and impedance)
affecting power flow in the power system network. Thus, this unique capability is announced by the adjective
“unified”. The main reason behind the wide spreads of UPFC is its ability to power flow
bi-directionally maintaining well regulated AC transmission line voltage. The UPFC is a generally synchronous
voltage source (SVS), it is exchange both active and reactive power with the transmission system. The basic
configuration of a UPFC with its main components is shown in Figure 1 [25-27].

3. THE MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF UPFC SYSTEM
The UPFC installation in the power grid necessitates complicated economical and technical investigations
concerning its influence on power system performance. Despite the fact that most of the recent studies are focus on
the application horizons of UPFC and its capabilities as a compensator in both of power system transient and
dynamic states to improve power quality, but the main goal of UPFC application is still existing in introducing it as
a FACT device to control both of active and reactive power. The UPFC circuit diagram can be simplified into Figure
2, it is composed of two machines with the UPFC, the synchronous voltage source (Vpq) representing the UPFC has
a controllable amplitude value |Vpq| with an angle ρ (0≤ρ≤2π) [28].

The vector diagram and controlling region of the UPFC have been drawing for both active power and
reactive power flow controller mode. The active power (P) and reactive power (Q) are controlled and increased
about (80%) of the UPFC rated value. The active power is changed from (870 MW) to (950 MW) and the
reactive power is changed from (-60MVAR) to (+20 MVAR), so the control region is changed from the initial
point (870-j60) MVA to (950+j20) MVA as shown in Figure 3.

5. THE FLOW CHART OF THE CONTROLLER CIRCUIT OF THE UPFC
The controller circuit of both series and shunt converters of the proposed controller circuit of the
UPFC are designed separately as clear in the flow chart that shown in Figure 4. The series converter depends
on the series voltage (Vser) and series current (Iser), and by transferring these values into their corresponding
(dq-axis) components, Vser transferred to (Vd-ser and Vq-ser) and Iser transferred to (Id-ser and Iq-ser). The active
power of the transmission line is a function of Vd-ser and Id-ser, while the reactive power is a function of Vq-ser
and Iq-ser. The shunt converter depends on the shunt voltage (Vsh) and shunt current (Ish), also this values will
be transferred into (Vd-sh and Vq-sh) and (Id-sh and Iq-sh) respectively, depending on Iq-sh the reactive power of the
transmission line has been compensated, while Id-sh controls the active power between the two converters.

6. THE SIMULATION RESULTS
The proposed system (500kV and 100MVA) consists of four buses (B1, B2, B3, and B4), three
transmission lines and two GTO-based converters of (100 MVA), each converter is 48-pulse four H-Bridge
three-level cascaded connected converter. The circuit diagram with all system parameters is shown in
Figure 5. The shunt converter is connected in shunt with the system at the left side of the (L2=75 Km) through
four shunt transformer, while the series converter is connected in series with the system at the same side of L2
through four series transformers, this converter can inject a maximum voltage of 10% of nominal line voltage
(50 kV) in series with the second line (L2).

6.1. The simulation study of the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) circuits
The main controller circuit consists of two parts, shunt controller circuit and series controller circuit.
The fuzzy logic controller of the shunt controller circuit has been constructed depending on two variables, the
quadrature component of the shunt controller current (Iq) and the reference value of the shunt current (Iqref).
The quadrature component of the shunt controller current (Iq), while the reference value of the shunt current
(Iqref) is based on the measured value of first bus voltage (Vmeas) and the value of the reference value of same
bus voltage (Vref). So the input signal of the shunt fuzzy controller circuit is either the error signal or the
difference between Iq and Iqref (Error = Iq-Iqref), while the output signal is the delay angle of the shunt converter
(αsh) as shown in Figure 6. The fuzzy logic controller of the series controller circuit has been constructed
depending on two variables which are the line active power (P) and reactive power (Q), while the output signal
is the conduction angle of the series converter (σser) as shown in Figure 7.

αsh

6.2. The pulses pattern of the converters
The shunt converter of UPFC controller operates as STATCOM used to regulate B1 voltage by
absorbing or injecting the reactive power with the line by varying the DC bus voltage, and also it provides
needed active power to the series converter through the DC bus. The conduction angle of the shunt converter
switches is constant value (σsh =180-7.5=172˚). To regulate the reactive power of the system at the common
point, the delay angle of the shunt converter (αsh) is varied as clear from the pulse waveform of the first switch

(Sa1) in Figure 8. The main purpose of the series converter is injecting a controlled series voltage in order to
control the active and reactive power flow of the transmission line. The injected voltage is adjusted by varying
σser so this angle will be a different values as shown in Figure 9. It should be noticed that both angles αsh and
σser are calculated instantaneously using the fuzzy logic controller.

6.3. Power flow controlling
The initial values of the real and reactive powers are (P Initial= +870 MW) and (Q Initial =-60 MVAR).
The series converter injects a controllable voltage (10%) of the rated voltage so this controller can control
system power flow of (10%) of the rated value (80MW). Both active and reactive power have been controlled
and changed in four steps. The active power is controlled and changed from the initial value to (950 MW) as
shown in Figure 10, while reactive power is controlled and changed from rated value to 20 MVAR as shown
in Figure 11.

6.4. Power factor
The power factor is one of the most important power quality issues. Since the UPFC is connected on
the second bus (B2), the power factor of its voltage is checked and shown in Figure 12. From this figure it can
concluded that the system is operating at unity power factor.

6.5. The fast fourier transform (FFT) of the grid
The main purpose of using multilevel inverter is to obtain voltage and current waveforms nearly
sinusoidal shape and to decreasing the Total Harmonic Distortion factor (THD) to a minimum value as possible.
From the fast fourier transform (FFT) analysis of the voltage of second bus (B2) that shown in Figure 13, it can
concluded that the system voltage is nearly sinusoidal waveform with low THD of (1.56%).

6.6. A comparison between FLC controller and PID controller results
A comparison between controlled active power based FLC and PID controller is shown in
Figure 14, from this comparison it can conclude that the system based FLC is faster response and more stable
than the response of PID controller.

6.7. The influence of DC link capacitor on the system performance
The main functions of the shunt converter are regulating line voltage by compensating sufficient
reactive power to the transmission line as well as this converter used to provide (or absorb) the series converter
by the needed active power through the DC link capacitor (Cdc). The Cdc plays a significant role for balancing
the transmitted energy between the converters and its volume should withstand the high amount of this energy,
thus it is very important to select a proper value of Cdc to improve the stability of the system.
The influence of Cdc for controlling active power from (870 MW) to (950 MW) and reactive power
from (-60 MVAR) to (20 MVAR) has been studied clearly by analyzing the voltage across it (Vdc). The
capacitance values are limited between (Cdc-min<Cdc<Cdc-sat), where (Cdc-min) represents the minimum value of
Cdc required to operate in normal condition and (Cdc-sat) represents the maximum value of the capacitance
required to operate in normal condition before it reaches the saturation region. For this work, the minimum
value of Cdc is (Cdc-min =1 mF), while the saturated value is (Cdc-sat = 4 mF). One of the main functions of this
work is improve system stability and one of the most important issues that realize this function is selecting
optimum value of DC capacitor (Cdc-opt). By selecting the value of Cdc-opt the transmitted DC power between
the converters has been controlled in an efficient way. From the simulation study of the system it is observed
that at (Cdc-opt = 2.5 mF), the steady-state value of Vdc is stable to 20 kV, which means the transmitted DC
power between the converters has been controlled efficiently.
7. CONCLUSION
This work exploits UPFC incorporated with a four buses system of 100 MVA, 500 kV. The UPFC is
constructed by two of three-level 48-pulse GTO multilevel inverter in order to reduce the harmonics contents
of the injected voltage. Four important issues have been tested for both B1 and B2 because the controller circuit
located in mid of them, the first issue is the active and reactive power flow of the system, the second issue is
checking the harmonic contents and measure the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the controlling buses
(VB1 and VB2), the third issue is checking and measuring the buses power factor (PF) and the last issue is to
compare the response of the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with the conventional PID controller. The two FLC
played a very important role to generate adequate pulses for both converters that leads to control active power
and reactive power flow, regulating voltage and decreasing voltage flicker, mitigating voltage unbalance
problem, correcting power factor, eliminating harmonics, increasing power quality and improving the
performance. To increase the stability and to obtain optimum power flow, an optimum value of DC capacitor
of (2.5 mF) has been selected between the two converters.
