Voltage Swell Compensation using an UPFC in Distribution System

Based on the fact that renewable energies such as photovoltaic, wind power, etc. are increasingly used in distribution systems recently which affects overvoltage, this paper implements an unified power flow controller(UPFC) to compensate voltage swell. The implemented scheme employs an ac chopper and a low-pass filter along with a series transformer. The ac chopper converts the amplitude of the voltage down to the nominal value. The low pass filter makes the rough waveform of the output voltage of the ac chopper due to switching smoothly by eliminating harmonics. To verify the effectiveness of the implemented UPFC, the results by Electro-Magnetic Transients Program(EMTP) are presented for various overvoltage cases.
