---Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) Key Technology and Project Application in Power Systems--CANCELLED (Room 106)

CANCELLED - Modern electric utilities are facing enormous challenges for economic and reliable operation of power systems, such as imbalance distribution of power transmission. Due to the limitation of transmission lines with heavy loading, the power supply capability is difficult to be fully utilized. The contradiction between the growing power load and the decreasing land resource has become increasingly serious in urban areas. As the 3rd generation of flexible alternative current transmission system (FACTS), the unified power flow controller (UPFC) has advantages of compact structure, small occupation, fast and flexible adjustment of power flow, as well as improving system stability and transmission capacity. The development of the high-power and fully controlled power electronic device brings great opportunity for UPFC technology and marketing. This panel will introduce and discuss the state-of-the-art UPFC technologies, practical project applications and standard proposals for promoting the development of UPFC technology and industry around the world.
