ABSTRACT
The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is a FACTS device, which can be used to control the power flow
on a transmission line. This is achieved by regulating the controllable parameters of the system: the line
impedance, the magnitude and phase of the bus voltage. In addition to control of real and reactive power
flow, the UPFC can be employed to enhance power system damping by modulating the converter voltages.
The aim of this article is to design a regulator which enables a power system to track reference signals
precisely and to be robust in the presence of uncertainty of system parameters and disturbances. The
performances of the proposed controllers (NEWELM and NIMC) are based neural adaptive control and
simulated on a two-bus test system and compared with a conventional PI controller with decoupling (PI-D).
The studies are performed based on well-known software package MATLAB/Simulink tool box.
Keyword: FACTS, UPFC, PI-D, NEWELM, NIMC, Neural Adaptive Control, Stability, Robustness.
