THE IMPACT OF THE UNIFIED POWER FLOW CONTROLLER ON MAXIMIZATION OF LOADABILITY OF ELECTRIC POWER GRID

The building of additional transmission network to meet the demand of the ever-increasing load is expensive, and time consuming. An alternative to constructing new lines is the incorporation of the Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS); in which a Unified Power Flow Controller (U...
