Abstract-- This paper deals with the design and simulation of
standard IEEE 14 bus system with IPFC. As a suggested
solution to effective load sharing between the transmission
lines, The interline power flow controller will transfers the
power demand from above loaded line to less loaded
transmission line. The proposed IPFC was connected between
2, 3 and3, 4 buses of standard IEEE 14 bus system. In this
paper, two five level inverter based IPFC connected to the
main IEEE system was presented. The system was designed in
mat lab/Simulink and explained the effectiveness of power
transmission with and without presence of IPFC.

I. [NTRODUCTION
FACTS Technology is related to real and reactive power.
It's used improve in the performance of power system. The
expertise deals with networks and consumers troubles
principally associated to power transmission quality issues.
Where a lot of power quality problems can be reduces with
an sufficient control of the power flow. The concept of
power flow control is concerned load support and voltage
compensation. Depending upon the power demand, the
tasks are to rise for the system power factor, to improve the
actual power from the generating source, to increase voltage
profile and to decrease harmonics. The principle of FACTS
is mainly depending upon the advanced technologies of
power electronic control and design procedure of the power
flow system, to control it by electronics devices. The
transmission can capitalize on the many thoughts taking
place in the area of high-current and high-voltage power
electronics, to get better be in command of power flows in
system during both normal and abnormal conditions.
The present reality of improving the power system
automatically controllable has initiated A change in the way
the design of power plant equipment and built as well as the
knowledge that goes into the planning and operation of
transmission and distribution networks. These type of
improvements may also increase the technique of energy
transmission are done, as increase in speed control of the
corridor of the energy flow is now practical Reactive power
support in transmitting the power in different power flows
increases the strength of the power system by transfer it at
maximum level. Series compensators change the parameters
of the transmission grids or distribution levels, where the
shunt compensators change the impedance at the connected
terminals. [n both cases, the reactive power through the
system can significantly transfers and improves the
performance of the entire power system. The use of PWM
converters by a control action allows the achievement of
static series compensators for generating or consuming
reactive power faster than the fundamental system period.
FACTS are more efficient for the operation of power flow
networks. From above concepts, static Power flow was
controlled by the control actions of FACTS devices, which
include the following
• Fixed VAR Compensators
• TCSC
• STATCOM
• Static Series Synchronous Compensators (SSSC)
• UPFC
• [PFC

A. Bus Classification
In general, a bus in an electrical power system is fed
from the generating units which inject the active and
reactive power into it and loads real and reactive power s
from it. [n load flow studies, the generator and load
(complex) powers are lumped into a net power. This net
power is called bus injected power.
The net power injected in the bus is given by

determine the magnitude and phase angle of voltage through

such a bus and this bus voltage can be allowed to differ
within the allowable values. i.e,5%. Also bus voltage phase
angle is not very important for the load.
2) Generator Bus or Voltage Controlled Bus
The generator bus voltage bus is one at which the
voltage magnitude corresponding to the generation voltage
and active power (P G) specified. It's required to calculate
the QG and voltage phase angle.

it must be a generator bus.

C. Necessity ofImproving Voltage Profile E. Methods for improvement of Voltage Profile

Voltage collapses mainly occur in power system sudden
increase in system load or by different faults or shortage in
supply of reactive power. Voltage fall down causes more
problems in the entire system, mainly system instability. In
fact, sudden change in system voltage involves change in a
whole power system. Voltage fall down is typically related
with reactive power demand of load not being met due to
shortage in production in reactive power and its
transmission. Mainly,discussed on the effects of the IPFC
on voltage profile, active and Reactive powers. The IPFC
mainly consists of two series connected voltage controlled
converters for exchange of powers between more no of
power lines when ever is the load changes in the lines.
D. Voltage Control
In power system, control the system voltage play
important role to ensure the voltage interruption like swell,
sag and harmonic can be minimize and further more
increase the power quality, reliability and availability. The
importance of voltage control as follows
Both customers and power system equipment is design
to operate within the specific voltage range value. If the
equipments are supplied by voltage above their range then
In bus system the voltage profile can be improved as
follows
1) By injecting the reactive power (static shunt capacitors
and reactor or by static series capacitors and or synchronous
compensators.
2) By using tap changing transformer.
3) By using FACTS devices.
4) By exchange of powers between the lines (IPFC)
F. Applications ofiPFC
The major objective in applying IPFC is to exchange
power demand from excess loaded line to below loaded line
by series compensation (by exchanging of powers between
the lines). The devices will works as controllable voltage
source devices which are connected in series with the
system in for increase series compensation.

These are mainly injecting sinusoidal voltage at
changeable level and connect via a general DC link as
shown in fig.2. Usually SSSC is used to increase the
transmittable real power over a specified line and to
equilibrium the loading of a normally encountered multi-
line system. They are mainly to provide ability for direct
transfer of real power between compensated lines while
maintaining the preferred division of reactive flow among
the lines. In general form, the IPFC having a number of dc

different line. The converters are linked together at their

controlled to supply real power to the dc link connected at
common position from its own line. Due to this process an
overall extra power can be transferred from the lower
demanded lines which can be used by other lines for real
power requirement. Obviously this process maintains the
overall power balance at the capacitor terminals by proper
control action. A simple IPFC scheme consisting of two
