Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of an Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) in order to increase the permissive opening time of circuit breakers, keeping transient stability of power systems. Consequently the cost of these devices which are the essential factors in the cost of power systems, will be decreased.

The results of simulation performed by ATP-EMTP simulation package confirm the validity of theory on which the proposed control algorithm is based.
