Location of unified power flow controller for congestion management

This paper presents the development of simple and efficient models for suit able location of unified power Row controller (UPFC), with static point of view, for congestion management. Two different objectives have been conside red and the results are compared. Installation of UPFC requires a two-step approach. First, the proper location of these devices in the network must b e ascertained and then, the settings of its control parameters optimized. T he effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated on two test system s. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
