Use of FACTS devices to maximize total transfer capability

FACTS device such as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) which has the capability to manipulate the power flow, is a useful device in controlling the power transfer from one bus to another. The effects of FACTS device on an electric power system network have been studied and presented. Investigatio...
