Comparative Study of UPFC & STATCOM by Using Detailed Simulation Model

This paper shows the application of the FACTS controllers used in power system for balancing the Reactive Power, Voltage Stability & Power Factor through-out the process of the transmission of the power. In this paper the simulation model of the UPFC & STATCOM Facts Controllers are taken for observation so that a complete comparison can be carried out so that the output result can be more useful for the further application. The Matlab Simulation is used here to carry out the whole process. In this paper the after the comparison of all three devices the best one is chosen among them for results.

Key Words: STATCOM, UPFC, VOLTAGE STABILITY, REACTIVE POWER, ACTIVE POWER
