UPFC (Phasor Model) - MATLAB & Simulink Example - MathWorks India

This document summarizes a MATLAB Simulink example model of a UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) used to relieve power congestion on a 500/230 kV transmission grid. The UPFC controls active and reactive power flows to reduce overload on a transformer connecting two power plants. It injects a series voltage to divert 100 MW of power from an overloaded transformer, relieving the congestion. The model demonstrates how the UPFC can dynamically control power flows in response to changing system conditions or contingencies.
