Abstract

The theory, transient and steady state models of a new topology of UPFC, the center node unified power flow controller(C-UPFC), are presented in this paper. Also, a control system for this device is presented. The CUPFC consists of three voltage source inverters (VSI) with common DC link capacitor. The proposed model represents the behavior of the controller in the
steady and transient states operating conditions. The presented model and control system of C-UPFC is validated with help of the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program. In this paper C-UPFC is simulated under different operating conditions. The presented control system enables the CUPFC to independent control of the active and reactive power flows at the both ends of transmission line, regulating the DC link capacitor and AC bus voltage and power oscillation damping. It will be shown that by adding a supplementary control signal to the shunt inverter control system, it is possible to balance line current too.
