One large-scale network have been presented. The UPFC model itself showed to be very flexible, it takes in to account the various UPFC operating modes.
UPFC is able to control active and reactive power flow in transmission line.
The significance of power factor correction (PFC) has long been visualized as a technology requirement for improving the efficiency of a power system network by compensating for the fundamental reactive power generated or consumed by simple inductive or capacitive loads. With the Information Age in full swing, the growth of high reliability, low cost electronic products have led utilities to escalate their power quality concerns created by the increase of such “switching loads.” These products include: entertainment devices such as Digital TVs, DVDs, and audio equipment; information technology devices such as PCs, printers, and fax-machines; variable speed motor drives for HVAC and white goods appliances; food preparation and cooking products such as microwaves and cook tops; and lighting products, which include electronic ballasts, LED and fluorescent lamps, and other power conversion devices that operate a variety of lamps. The drivers that have resulted in this proliferation are a direct result of the availability of low-cost switch-mode devices and control circuitry in all major end-use segments: residential, commercial, and industrial.
In order to keep power quality under the limits proposed by standards, it is required to incorporate some sort of compensation. There are two basic types of PFC circuits: active and passive. The simplest power factor correctors can be implemented using a passive filter to suppress the harmonics in conjunction with capacitors or inductors to generate or consume the fundamental reactive power, respectively. Active power factor correction circuits have proven to be more effective, generally integrated with the switch-mode circuitry, and actively control the input current of the load. This enables the most efficient delivery of electrical power from the power grid to the load. The demand for new smart, green products has set the stage for a worldwide migration from antiquated passive circuits to active correctors as well as from traditional analog technology to digital techniques. New digital active power factor correction delivers better full- and light-load power efficiency while lowering system costs, enabling smaller designs and providing a clear path for further feature enhancements and improved competitive positioning for a whole host of consumer and industrial products. Cirrus Logic’s novel advances in digital active PFC technology signify a major enabling element in the development of the newest generation of low cost, energy-efficient switch mode products.
Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) use power electronics to control power flow and increase transmission capacity. FACTS devices include SVCs, TCSCs, TCPARs, StatComs, SSSCs, and UPFCs. A UPFC can control both voltage and impedance to regulate active and reactive power flow bidirectionally. It does this by generating reactive power with shunt inverters and injecting real power with series inverters using PWM to control voltages. This allows increasing transmission line capacity and controlling power flows.
This document compares the effectiveness of STATCOM, SSSC, and UPFC FACTS devices in improving power system stability. It presents a single machine infinite bus system model with each device and analyzes the response to a 3-phase fault. All FACTS devices reduce oscillations and stabilize the system after the fault, while the uncompensated system becomes unstable. STATCOM and SSSC effectively suppress oscillations and stabilize the rotor angle, velocity, and generator output power. UPFC combines features of STATCOM and SSSC to regulate real and reactive power flow and make the system stable.

This paper proposes HyperSafe, which provides lifetime control flow integrity for the hypervisor through two techniques: 1) non-bypassable memory lockdown of hypervisor code and control data, and 2) restricted pointer indexing to allow only valid control transfers. It implements these techniques in a type-1 hypervisor using LLVM for pointer analysis and enforcement with restricted pointer indexing. This aims to prevent attacks against the hypervisor, such as VM escapes or installation of a hypervisor rootkit.

This document discusses load flow analysis with and without a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) under different fault conditions in a six bus power system simulation model. The UPFC is a Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device that can control parameters like voltage, impedance, and phase angle to control power flow. The study aims to improve transient stability of the six bus system by determining active and reactive power on load buses under different fault types both with and without the UPFC. The control scheme and operating principle of the UPFC are also explained.
Analysis of symmetrical & asymmetrical pwm based three phase ac to ac con...eSAT Journals
Abstract
A Three phase bidirectional AC to AC buck converter circuit using power MOSFET operating in high frequency chopping mode is simulated and analyzed for electrical parameters such as output phase voltage, input line current, input power factor, harmonic profile and efficiency using MATLAB/simulink software package. The various PWM techniques such as symmetrical ramp-DC PWM (SRDPWM), asymmetrical ramp-triangular PWM (ARTPWM), asymmetrical sinusoidal PWM type-1 [ASPWM1] and asymmetrical sinusoidal PWM type-2 [ASPWM2] techniques are adopted to analyze the harmonic profile, input power factor and efficiency of the converter. The rms value of the output phase voltage, output line current and source current can be significantly increased by varying the duty ratio K in case of symmetrical PWM control strategy and modulation index MI in case of asymmetrical PWM control strategies independent of variation in switching frequency. It is observed from the simulation results that the ASPWM1 switching strategy gives more output phase voltage, input power factor, efficiency by increasing modulation index MI and reduced low order harmonics of output voltage and source current by increasing the number of pulses per half cycle P compared to other PWM techniques rendering easy and economical filteration.
Keywords: Three phase AC chopper, symmetrical ramp-DC PWM, asymmetrical ramp-triangular PWM, asymmetrical sinusoidal PWM technique, harmonic profile, power factor, efficiency
The document summarizes a research paper that proposes using an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to optimally place static var compensators (SVCs) in a power system to improve the voltage profile. The ABC algorithm is used to solve a multi-objective optimization problem to determine the optimal SVC location and size. The objectives are to minimize fuel costs, transmission losses, voltage deviations, and line flow limits. The algorithm is tested on the IEEE 30-bus test system and is able to improve the voltage profile compared to an optimal power flow without SVCs.
TRANSMISSION LOSS MINIMIZATION USING ADVANCED UNIFIED POWER FLOW CONTROLLER (...ijiert bestjournal
The capability of transmission loss minimization of the power system network by
advanced unified power flow controller (UPFC) is the main focus in this paper. An
important factor effecting power transmission systems today is power flow control. The
increment of load variation in a power transmission system can lead to potential failure on
the entire system as the system has to work under a stressed condition. Thus, the Flexible
AC Transmission System (FACTS) are integrated in power system to control the active
power and reactive power simultaneously in specific lines and improve the security of
transmission line without violating economic generation dispatch. This paper presents
Advanced Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) which can provide functional flexibility
for loss minimization and voltage profile monitoring in a power system network. The
UPFC devices are installed in the system based on voltage stability index in order to
enhance the system security, performed on the IEEE 30-bus RTS for several loading
conditions. Simulations were carried out using MATLAB software to check the
performance of UPFC.

A variable gain PI to improve the performances of a unified power flow contro...IJAEMSJORNAL
The instability problems in the electrical supply networks have had a great impact on recent research studies on modern devices. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the various FACTS (Flexible Alternative Current Transmission Sys-tems) devices that allow the electrical supply networks to be stable with a strong effectiveness. In this paper, the performances of such a device using both a classical PI and a variable gains PI controllers are examined. For this instance, the compensator is first stabilized before trying to stabilize the network. A series of comparative simulation tests have been undertaken for both regulators and analyzed. From the obtained results it is clearly shown that when the system is equipped with the variable gain PI regulator, the performance are much better.

The stability of an interconnected power system is compare to normal or stable operation after having been subjected to some form of disturbance. With interconnected systems continually growing in size and extending over vast geographical regions, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain synchronism between various parts of the power system. This paper investigates the comparison of transient stability limit of a multi-machine power system with the help of a UPFC operated in perpendicular voltage control mode and their it’s comparison.
In this paper, a new sliding mode controller is proposed as the indirect control method and compared to a simple direct control method in order to control a buck converter in photovoltaic applications. The solar arrays are dependent power sources with nonlinear voltage-current characteristics under different environmental conditions. From this point of view, the DC/DC converter is particularly suitable for the application of the sliding mode control in photovoltaic application, because of its controllable states. Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array is able to remain aligned to the sun. This method has the advantage that it will guarantee the maximum output power possible by the array configuration. Problems and possible improvements will also be presented.
This document summarizes the results of a study on identifying the weakest branch in a radial distribution network with composite loads using distributed generation. The study tested the approach on a 33-node, 12.66 kV radial distribution system. The reactive loading index technique was used to identify the weakest branch for various levels of distributed generation placed at the optimal node. It was found that branch 5 was the weakest up to 30% distributed generation capacity, after which branch 27 became the weakest as the distributed generation level increased to 100% of the total load. The results provide guidance on how the weakest branch may change with different amounts of distributed generation on the network.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a variable step incremental conductance (VSIC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The VSIC method aims to improve both the tracking speed and accuracy of the traditional incremental conductance (IC) method by varying the step size according to how far the operating power point is from the maximum power point. Simulation results presented in the paper show that the VSIC method achieves better tracking performance than the IC method with fixed step sizes, obtaining higher average power output while reducing voltage and current ripples near the maximum power point.

DevOpsDays SLC - Platform Engineers are Product Managers.pptxJustin Reock
Platform Engineers are Product Managers: 10x Your Developer Experience
Discover how adopting this mindset can transform your platform engineering efforts into a high-impact, developer-centric initiative that empowers your teams and drives organizational success.
Platform engineering has emerged as a critical function that serves as the backbone for engineering teams, providing the tools and capabilities necessary to accelerate delivery. But to truly maximize their impact, platform engineers should embrace a product management mindset. When thinking like product managers, platform engineers better understand their internal customers' needs, prioritize features, and deliver a seamless developer experience that can 10x an engineering team’s productivity.
In this session, Justin Reock, Deputy CTO at DX (getdx.com), will demonstrate that platform engineers are, in fact, product managers for their internal developer customers. By treating the platform as an internally delivered product, and holding it to the same standard and rollout as any product, teams significantly accelerate the successful adoption of developer experience and platform engineering initiatives.
Slack like a pro: strategies for 10x engineering teamsNacho Cougil
You know Slack, right? It's that tool that some of us have known for the amount of "noise" it generates per second (and that many of us mute as soon as we install it 😅).
But, do you really know it? Do you know how to use it to get the most out of it? Are you sure 🤔? Are you tired of the amount of messages you have to reply to? Are you worried about the hundred conversations you have open? Or are you unaware of changes in projects relevant to your team? Would you like to automate tasks but don't know how to do so?
In this session, I'll try to share how using Slack can help you to be more productive, not only for you but for your colleagues and how that can help you to be much more efficient... and live more relaxed 😉.
If you thought that our work was based (only) on writing code, ... I'm sorry to tell you, but the truth is that it's not 😅. What's more, in the fast-paced world we live in, where so many things change at an accelerated speed, communication is key, and if you use Slack, you should learn to make the most of it.

Challenges in Migrating Imperative Deep Learning Programs to Graph Execution:...Raffi Khatchadourian
Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code that supports symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development tends to produce DL code that is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, less error-prone imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged at the expense of run-time performance. While hybrid approaches aim for the "best of both worlds," the challenges in applying them in the real world are largely unknown. We conduct a data-driven analysis of challenges---and resultant bugs---involved in writing reliable yet performant imperative DL code by studying 250 open-source projects, consisting of 19.7 MLOC, along with 470 and 446 manually examined code patches and bug reports, respectively. The results indicate that hybridization: (i) is prone to API misuse, (ii) can result in performance degradation---the opposite of its intention, and (iii) has limited application due to execution mode incompatibility. We put forth several recommendations, best practices, and anti-patterns for effectively hybridizing imperative DL code, potentially benefiting DL practitioners, API designers, tool developers, and educators.

2. The most common power system analysis tool
is the power flow (also known sometimes as
the load flow):
power flow determines how the power flows in a
network
also used to determine all bus voltages and all
currents,
because of constant power models, power flow is a
nonlinear analysis technique,
power flow is a steady-state analysis tool.
3. First step in solving the power flow is to create what is
known as the bus admittance matrix, often called the
Ybus.
The Ybus gives the relationships between all the bus
current injections, I, and all the bus voltages, V, I =
Ybus V
The Ybus is developed by applying KCL at each bus in
the system to relate the bus current injections, the bus
voltages, and the branch impedances and admittances.
6. This method enables us to define the values of the
currents , the active and reactive powers, the active and
reactive power losses, and the power-factor of the
electrical supply network for different loads. It also
enables us to determine the degree of stability of the
network.
