Popis: This paper investigates the effect of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) on the risk of cascading failure which resulted from adverse weather based on the risk-based security assessment (RBSA) method. An improved piecewise probability model is described to reflect the impact of adverse weather condition and overloads. Based on power-injection model of UPFC, an optimal power flow control strategy is integrated into the RBSA procedure to relieve the risk of cascading failure caused by initiating event. Furthermore, a sensitivity based approach is adopted to determine the optimal location of UPFC. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been tested on IEEE RTS-79 system.
