The modular multilevel matrix converter has been proposed as a suitable option for high power applications such as flexible AC transmission systems. Among flexible AC transmission systems, the unified power flow controller stands out as the most versatile device. However, the application of the modular multilevel matrix converter has not been thoroughly analyzed for unified power flow controller applications due to the sophisticated control systems that are needed when its ports operate at equal frequencies. In this context, this paper presents a cascaded control structure for a modular multilevel matrix converter based unified power flow controller. The control is implemented in a decoupled reference frame, and it features proportional-integral external controllers and internal proportional multi-resonant controllers. Additionally, the input port of the modular multilevel matrix converter is regulated in grid-feeding mode, and the output port is regulated in grid-forming mode to provide power flow compensation. The effectiveness of the proposed vector control system is demonstrated through simulation studies and experimental validation tests conducted with a 27-cell 5 kW prototype.

Secure and reliable operation of the power system is a critical issue for large, complicated, and interconnected power system networks. Security constraints such as thermal limits of transmission lines and bus voltage limits must be satisfied under any operating point in order to deliver reliable power to the consumers. One of the best alternative solutions of improvement of the security of power system is the use of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices. FACTS devices can be used to limit the power flow on the overloaded line and to increase the use of alternative paths to improve power transmission capacity. This chapter briefly describes all three categories of FACTS devices, namely shunt controllers (static synchronous compensator, static var compensator, thyristor-controlled reactor, thyristor switched reactor, thyristor switched capacitor), series controllers (static synchronous series compensator, thyristor controlled series capacitor, thyristor-controlled series reactor), and combined series-shunt controllers (unified power flow controller).

Intisari — Makalah ini membahas penggunaan peralatan FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) untuk meningkatkan atau memperbaiki kestabilan sistem tenaga listrik yang terinterkoneksi. Peralatan FACTS pada umumnya digunakan untuk mengendalikan aliran daya-aktif dan/atau daya-reaktif serta untuk mengontrol besarnya tegangan sistem. Namun demikian, dengan memasang alat kontrol tambahan, peralatan FACTS dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan redaman elektromekanik dan kestabilan sistem tenaga listrik sebagai fungsi sekundernya. Salah satu peralatan FACTS yang cukup populer saat ini adalah UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller). UPFC merupakan peralatan FACTS generasi ketiga. Peralatan ini menggabungkan kompensator shunt dan kapasitor seri statik menjadi satu peralatan dengan sistem kendali terpadu. UPFC memiliki kemampuan unik untuk mengendalikan aliran daya listrik dan tegangan secara simultan sehingga memiliki potensi untuk digunakan dalam meningkatkan redaman dan kestabilan sistem. Makalah ini menyelidiki aplikasi dari UPFC pada peningkatan kestabilan sistem tenaga listrik yang terinterkoneksi. Keefektifan dari peralatan tersebut dalam memperbaiki penampilan dinamik dan meningkatkan kestabilan suatu sistem tenaga telah dikonfirmasi melalui hasil-hasil perhitungan nilaieigen dan divalidasi dengan menggunakan simulasi domain-waktu.Kata kunci — FACTS, UPFC, Redaman, Kestabilan, Sistem Tenaga Listrik Abstract — This paper discusses an application of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) device in improving the stability of interconnected electric power system. FACTS devices are used primarily for controlling active- and/or reactive-power and also for voltage regulation. However, by employing some supplementary controllers, it can also be used for enhancing system electromechanical damping and stability as its secondary function. One of the most popular FACTS devices is UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller). UPFC is a third generation of FACTS device. This device combines the shunt compensator and static series capacitor as one device with a unified control system. UPFC has a unique ability in controlling simultaneously system power flow and voltage, and therefore, has a potential to be used for system damping and stability improvement. This paper investigates an application of UPFC in improving the stability of interconnected power system. The effectiveness of the device in enhancing system dynamic performance and stability has been confirmed through eigenvalue calculations and validated using time-domain simulations.Keywords— FACTS, UPFC, Damping, Stability, Electric Power System
