Abstract In recent years, the use of wind energy to generate electricity in the world has been accelerating and growing. Wind farms are unstable when dynamic voltage fluctuations occur, especially sudden and sudden changes in load, and show oscillating performance at their output. In this paper, the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) has been simulated and studied by Matlab software to improve the dynamic stability and transient behavior of the wind power plant in the event of sudden load changes. The simulation results show that by controlling the UPFC series inverter, voltage fluctuations in the PCC bus are prevented and the UPFC parallel inverter injects power after changing the load for faster recovery and stability of the PCC bus voltage and thus the stability of the wind farm. The UPFC can control the active and reactive power at the transmission line, and in fact, controls the output of the wind turbine with the generator from both sides to the fluctuations caused by sudden load changes that play a role such as sudden disturbances and oscillating errors. Also, the presence of UPFC in the system reduces power fluctuations.

This paper deals with the analysis and simulation of the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) for Grid connected DFIG wind farm system mitigation. The purpose of the paper is to derive and analyze a reactive power control strategy of UPFC dedicated for DFIG mitigation. The FACT device Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is connected with load bus. Paper has demonstrated the improvement in voltages, power transferred to grid, active and reactive power control. Matlab/simulink is used for the work. Paper demonstrated the simulation results for with and without UPFC for Grid connected Doubly Fed Induction Generator wind farm system.
