Unified power flow controllers in smart power systems: models, methods, and future research

Power flow control has become increasingly important in recent years in the area of smart power systems that have to integrate increased shares of variable renewable energy sources. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) provides in real-time, simultaneously or selectively, active and reactive pow...
