Popis: A shunt–series type of flexible AC transmission system named as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) has an ability to manage real as well as reactive power in the power system network in a simultaneous manner. In this paper, a simulation model of UPFC is tested for the IEEE 14 bus standard test system on the DIgSILENT power factory software. Moreover, an optimum reactive power dispatch problem in presence of UPFC has been solved to reduce the real power loss in transmission lines. The proposed UPFC-based ORPD problem has been solved using the interior point method. The proposed approach is simulated under different loading conditions of the network. A comparative analysis of the obtained simulation results for each loading condition shows the effectiveness of UPFC for real power losses reduction.
