Abstract: This paper deals with digital simulation of power system using open loop system and closed loop based UPFC to improve the power quality. The UPFC is capable of improving transient stability in a power system. It is the most complex power electronic system for controlling the power flow in an electrical power system. The real and reactive powers can be easily controlled in a power system with a UPFC. The circuit model is developed for UPFC using rectifier and inverter circuits with the help of IGBT and MOSFET. The control angle of the converters is varied to vary the real and reactive powers at the receiving end. The Matlab simulation results are presented to validate the model. The experimental results are compared with the simulation results.
