Power Flow Control In A Transmission Line Using Unified Power Flow ControllerIJMER
This paper concentrates on FACT device UPFC which is used for powerflow control in the
transmission side. With the growing demand of electricity, it is not possible to erect new lines to face the
situation. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) makes use of the thyristor controlled devices and optimally
utilizes the existing transmission network. One of such device is Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) on
which the emphasis is given in this present work. Real, reactive power, and voltage balance of the unified
power-flow control (UPFC) system is analyzed. A novel coordination controller is proposed for the UPFC.
The basic control method is such that the shunt converter controls the transmission line reactive power
flow and the dc-link voltage. The series converter controls the real power flow in the transmission line and
the UPFC bus voltages. Experimental works have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the
UPFC in power flow control in the transmission line. The simulation model was done in
MATLAB/SIMULINK platform.
Improvement of Power Quality by using Injection Super Capacitor UPQC for BLDC...IJMTST Journal

which shares a common DC link capacitor and series active filter mitigate the voltage related harmonics in
power supply side and shunt active filters are mitigate the current related harmonics of non linear loads.
UPQC mitigate the harmonics and other harmonic sensitive loads. Among from them unified power quality
conditioner was widely studied by different controllers and we applied to BLDC motor for updating of load

A New Topology for Power Quality Improvement using 3-Phase 4-Wire UPQC with R...IJMTST Journal
This paper introduces a new concept of optimal utilization of a Unified power quality conditioner (UPQC).
The series inverter of UPQC is controlled to perform simultaneous Methods: voltage sag/swell compensation
and load reactive power sharing with the shunt inverter. The active power control approach is used to
compensate voltage sag/swell and is integrated with theory of power angle control (PAC) of UPQC to
coordinate the load reactive power between the two inverters. MATLAB/SIMULINK-based simulation results
are discussed to support the developed concept. Finally, the proposed UPQC concept is validated.
Power Quality Improvement by UPQC based on Voltage Source ConvertersIJRST Journal
In modern power system consists of wide range of electrical, electronic and power electronic equipment in commercial and industrial applications. Since most of the electronic equipment’s are nonlinear in nature these will induce harmonics in the system, which affect the sensitive loads to be fed from the system. These problems are partially solved with the help of LC passive filters. However, this kind of filter cannot solve random variation in the load current wave form and voltage wave form. Active filters can resolve this problem. However, the cost of active filters is high. They are difficult to implement in large scale. Additionally, they also present lower efficiency than shunt passive filters. One of the many solutions is the use of a combined system of shunt and active series filters like Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) which aims at achieving a low cost under highly effective control. The UPQC device combines a shunt active filter together with a series active filter in a back-to-back configuration, to simultaneously compensate the supply voltage and the load current or to mitigate any type of voltage and current fluctuations and power factor correction in a power distribution network, such that improved power quality can be made available at the point of common coupling. The control strategies are modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The performance is also observed under influence of utility side disturbances such as harmonics and voltage sags. The simulation results are compared without and with UPQC for the verification of results.
Transformer-Less UPFC for Wind Turbine ApplicationsIJMTST Journal
In this paper, an innovative technique with a new concept of transformer-less unified power flow controller
(UPFC) is implemented. The construction of the conventional UPFC that consists of two back-to-back inverters
which results in complexity and bulkiness which involves the transformers which are complication for
isolation & attaining high power rating with required output waveforms. To reduce a above problem to a
certain extent, a innovative transformer-less UPFC based on less complex configuration with two cascade
multilevel inverters (CMIs) has been proposed. Unified power flow controller (UPFC) has been the most
versatile Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device due to its ability to control real and reactive power
80w on transmission lines while controlling the voltage of the bus to which it is connected. UPFC being a
multi-variable power system controller it is necessary to analyze its effect on power system operation. The
new UPFC offers several merits over the traditional technology, such as Transformer-less, Light weight, High
efficiency, Low cost & Fast dynamic response. This paper mainly highlights the modulation and control for
this innovative transformer-less UPFC, involving desired fundamental frequency modulation (FFM) for low
total harmonic distortion (THD), independent active and reactive power control over the transmission line,
dc-link voltage balance control, etc. The unique capabilities of the UPFC in multiple line compensation are
integrated into a generalized power flow controller that is able to maintain prescribed, and independently
controllable, real power & reactive power flow in the line. UPFC simply controls the magnitude and angular
position of the injected voltage in real time so as to maintain or vary the real and reactive power flow in the
line to satisfy load demand & system operating conditions. UPFC can control various power system
parameters, such as bus voltages and line flows. The impact of UPFC control modes and settings on the
power system reliability has not been addressed sufficiently yet. Cascade multilevel inverters has been
proposed to have an overview of producing the light weight STATCOM’s which enhances the power quality at
the output levels.When the multilevel converter is applied to STATCOM, each of the cascaded H-bridge
converters should be equipped with a galvanically isolated and floating dc capacitor without any power
source or circuit. This enables to eliminate a bulky, heavy, and costly line-frequency transformer from the
cascade STATCOM. When no UPFC is installed, interruption of either three-phase line due to a fault reduces
an active power flow to half, because the line impedance becomes double before the interruption. Installing
the UPFC makes it possible to control an amount of active power flowing through the transmission system.
Results has been shown through MATLAB Simulink
A Review on Optimization Techniques for Power Quality Improvement using DSTAT...ijtsrd
As demand for electricity has risen exponentially, power production and transmission are affected by scarce energy, environmental constraints and other losses. Soft computing methods to fix the sag, swell and disruption of the supply voltage in the distributed device. At present, a broad variety of highly versatile controls that leverage on newly available power electronics components are evolving for custom power applications. Control electronic equipment intended to improve the stability and efficiency of electricity flows in low voltage distribution networks. The control algorithm is used to derive the fundamental weighted value of the active and reactive power components. Using a digital signal processor, DSTATCOM is built and its output as a DSTATCOM is found to be satisfactory for different types of loads.

POWER STABILITY ANALYSIS OF A TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WITH A UNIFIED POWER FLOW C...IJITE
The unified power quality conditioner is the equipment used for regulated voltage distortion and voltage
unbalance in a power system. UPFC can enhance the power to flow through the transmission system by
controlling the power flow and voltage stability of the transmission line within their limits. This paper
presents a control scheme and Theoretical derivation of the unified power flow conditioner and the
simulation results are compared and contrasted in detail. UPFC is a combination of shunt Active and
series active power filters. UPFC contains a DC link capacitor in a single-phase voltage source inverter
with two back to back connected, three-phase three-wire and three-phase four-wire are arranged. The
fundamental target of this work is to determine the causes and impacts of power quality problems,
specifically voltage sag, voltage swell, power factor, and Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) and enhance
the power quality of a transmission system by UPFC based Transformative Intrinsic Algorithm (TIA). The
Simulation of the proposed method is developed by Mat lab Simulink software, and the simulation result
shows, the proposed method gives better solutions to control the power imbalance in the distribution
system with its cost-effectiveness.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

16. POWER QUALITY
The quality of electrical power supply is a set of parameters which describe the
process of electric power delivery to the user under normal operating conditions,
determine the continuity of supply (short and long supply interruptions) and
characterize the supply voltage (magnitude, asymmetry, frequency, and waveform
shape).
Power quality phenomena can be divided into two types :-
- A characteristic of voltage or current (e.g., frequency or power factor) is never
exactly equal to its nominal and desired value. The small deviations are called
voltage variations or current variations.
- When the voltage or current deviates significantly from its normal or ideal wave
shape. These sudden deviations are called events. Power quality events are the
phenomena which can lead to tripping of equipment, to interruption of the
production or of plant operation, or endanger power system operation. This
includes interruptions, under voltages, overvoltage, phase angle jumps and three
phase unbalance.
16
17. CAUSES OF POOR POWER QUALITY
Variation in voltage magnitude and frequency.
Variation in magnitude can be due to sudden rise or fall of
load , outages, repetitive varying loading pattern in rolling
mills, power electronic converters, inverters, lightning..etc
Variation in frequency can rise of out of system dynamics
or harmonics injection.
3
18. SOURCES OF POOR POWER QUALITY
Non linear loads
Arcing loads
Switching operation
Reactive loads
Atmospheric condition
Unstable loads
Neighboring unbalance system
4
19. POWER QUALITY CONDITIONERS
A power conditioner (also known as a line conditioner or power line conditioner)
is a device intended to improve the quality of power that is delivered to electrical
load equipment.
In a smart grid the role of a power quality conditioner is to:-
Deliver voltage & current of the proper level and characteristics to enable load
equipment to function properly.
Ensure efficient power transfer between utility grid & micro grid.
Isolate each micro grid and the utility grid from there respective noises and
disturbances.
Energy creation i.e. to convert DC power generated by Solar panels to AC.
Integration with energy storage system.
19
20. TYPES OF POWER QUALITY CONDITIONERS
Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM)
Active power filters
-Shunt active power filters
-Series active power filters
-Hybrid Active Power Filters
Unified Power Quality conditioner (UPQC)
20
21. DISTRIBUTION STATIC COMPENSATOR
(DSTATCOM)
The DSTATCOM is a custom power device based on a voltage Source Converter
(VSC) shunt connected to the distribution networks.
A DSTATCOM is normally used to precisely regulate system voltage, improve
voltage profile, reduce voltage harmonics and for load compensation.
21
22. BLOCK DIAGRAM
22
The VSC converts the dc voltage across the storage device into a set
of three-phase ac output voltages. These voltages are in phase and
coupled with the ac system through the coupling transformer. Such
configuration allows the device to absorb or generate controllable
active and reactive power.
23. ACTIVE POWER FILTERS
Active power filter technology has evolved in the past quarter century with varying
configurations and control topologies as a full fledged technique for providing
compensation for reactive power, harmonics and neutral current in ac networks.
Active filters are also used to terminate the voltage harmonics, to regulate terminal
voltage, to inhibit voltage flicker and to advance voltage balance in 3- phase
systems.
Generally there are three configurations in which they are connected in power
system :-
Shunt active power filters
Series active power filters
Hybrid Active Power Filters
23
24. SHUNT ACTIVE POWER FILTERS
24
It compensate current harmonics by injecting equal-but-opposite harmonic
compensating current.
It operates as a current source injecting the harmonic components
generated by the load but phase shifted by 180deg.
They are usually connected across the load to compensate for all current
related problem such as reactive power compensation, power factor
correction, current harmonics and load unbalance compensation.
25. SERIES ACTIVE POWER FILTERS
25
It compensate current system distortion caused by non-linear loads.
The high impedance imposed by the series APF is created by generating a voltage of
the same frequency as that of harmonic component that needs to be eliminated.
It act as a controlled voltage source and can compensate all voltage related
problems such as voltage harmonics, voltage sags & swells, voltage flicker etc.
26. HYBRID ACTIVE POWER FILTERS
26
Fig. Hybrid Active power filter
By controlling the amplitude of the voltage fundamental component across the
coupling transformer, the PF of the power distribution system can be adjusted.
The control of the load power factor imposed a higher voltage across the filter
capacitor.
This type of configuration is very convenient for compensation of high power
medium voltage non linear loads
28. o The Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) combines the Shunt Active
Power Filter with the Series Active Power Filter, sharing the same DC Link,
in order to compensate both voltages and currents, so that the load
voltages become sinusoidal and at nominal value, and the source currents
become sinusoidal and in phase with the source voltages.
o UPQC can compensate both voltage related problems such as voltage
harmonics, voltage sags/swells, voltage flicker as well as current related
problems like reactive power compensation, power factor correction,
current harmonics and load unbalance compensation.
o There is a significant increase in interest for using UPQC in distributed
generation associated with smart grids because of availability of high
frequency switching devices and advanced fast computing devices
(microcontrollers, DSP, FPGA) at lower cost.

29. CONCLUSION
Load analysis has been done on this smart grid to check
the stability in terms of active power flow.
Active power values at all buses has been changed with
respect to changes in active and inductive load values.
Magnitude of inductive and active load has been
deduced while maintaining synchronism of the proposed
smart grid model.
