Improvement of power quality using UPFC in a multi bus distribution system

The application of the unified power flow controller, UPFC, which is one of the flexible AC transmission systems devices, FACTS, to solve the voltage drop and to reduce power loss is developed. The IEEE 14-bus and 6-bus test systems are used for analysis using MATLAB Simulink software. Most of the p...
