Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the Flexible ac Transmission System (FACTS) devices that possess the ability of modulating both active and reactive power at the point of common coupling in four quadrant operational modes. This chapter illustrates UPFC topology, controllers with some case studies for various applications of UPFC in the DFIG-based WECS. New applications for UPFC are proposed to improve the overall performance of a DFIG-based WECS during voltage sag and voltage swell events at the grid side.
