ABSTRACT
With the increased rate of urbanization and industrialization, the Nigerian
electric power system is being put under pressure, high power losses which
has led to fluctuation in voltage level. In this work the Nigeria 330Kv network
of 42 bus system was considered. Data for the analysis were obtained from
Transmission Company of Nigeria / National Control Centre, Osogbo (TCN)
and MATLAB/PSAT software with newton Raphson’s solution method
embedded in it was used to carry out the analysis. The results of the analysis
showed that many of the bus voltages were outside the voltage limits of ±5%
i.e 0.95pu- 1.05pu . After compensation with FlexibleAC Transmission System
devices (FACTs) namely Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) which can be
used to control power flow on a transmission line, the voltage profile almost
flat with bus voltages within acceptable voltage limits. It is also evident that
the UPFC is device that can used to combat the voltage problemintheNigerian
electric power system.
1. INTRODUCTION
Electric power generation and transmission is a complex process, wherever
power is to be transferred, the two main components are active and reactive
power. In a three phase ac power system active and reactive power flows from
the generating station to the load centers through different transmission lines
and networks buses. The active and reactive power flow in transmission line is
called power flow or load flow. The Nigerian power system is characterized by
high power loss that affects the reliability and quality of power supply.
Today urbanization and rapid industrialization are putting
power utilities under pressure.Theconsumersateverylevel
including domestic, commercial and industrial users have
been on the receiving end of the voltage instability problem
in Nigeria electricity grid, experiencing majordiscomforts in
operating their electrical and electronic devices as well as
unable to run smoothly their day-to-day activities sincethey
depend largely on stable and quality electricity supply.
Despite the reform exercise and other corrective measures
put in place by the Federal Government ofNigeria toaddress
the operational challenges facing her electricity grid,voltage
instability problem still persists. Most of voltage instability
problems in the Nigeria electricity grid can be traced to
inadequate and inefficient reactive power compensation in
the system. Therefore, the need to devise means of
compensating reactive power in Nigeria electricity supply
network becomes highlyimperativeforefficient operationof
the system. To address this, adoption of advanced control
technologies such as FACTS is an important option for the
Nigeria electricity system reactive power compensation in
view of the slow response of the conventional traditional
methods for improving power system performance [1,2].
FACTS technology has a lots of benefits, such as greater
power flow control ability, increased in the loading of
existing transmission circuits, damping of power system
oscillations, has the less cost than other alternative
techniques of transmission system is used [3,4,5,6,7,8]. The
ability of FACTS to control the line impedance and the nodal
voltage magnitudes and phase angles at both the sending
and the receiving ends of key transmissionlines,with almost
no delay, has significantly increased the transmission
capabilities of the network whileconsiderably enhancingthe
security of the system. Some of the common FACTS
controllers in use are Interphase Power Controller (IPC),
Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), Static Var
Compensator (SVC), Thyristor Controlled Breaking Reactor
(TCR), Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC), Static
Synchronous Series Compensator(SSSC),ThyristorSwitched
Series Reactor (TSSR), Unified Power Flow Controller
(UPFC). These controllers have their distinct characteristics
which are suitable for different applications and duetothese
various researches have been carried out to examine their
potential applications and benefits [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16].
Lots of works have been done to improve the voltage profile
of the Nigerian electric power using other conventional
methods of compensation, FACTS devices like STATCOM,
SSSC, SVC but in this study, our aim is to apply UPFC for
improvement of voltage profile in the Nigerian power
system.
2. Unified Power Flow Control (UPFC)
Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is power electronics
based system that can provide the control of the
transmission line impedance, phase angle and reactive

power. This versatility of the UPFC makes it a prime FACTS
device that can provide many of the control functions
required to solve a wide range of dynamic and steady state
problems encountered in power systems. Combining the
STATCOM and the SSSC into a single device with a common
control system represents the third generation of FACTS
known as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). It has the
unique ability to control real and reactive power flow
independently. The basic operation principle diagram of the
UPFC is shown in Figure 1, and has been described in open
literature [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]. The Unified Power Flow
Controller (UPFC) made out of two Voltage Source
Converters (VSCs), which are connected through a common
DC link capacitor.
From figure 1, the basic function of converter 1 is to supply
or absorb the real power demanded by converter 2 at the
common dc link. This dc link power is converted back to ac
and coupled to the transmission line via a shunt-connected
transformer. Converter 1 can also generate or absorb
controllable reactive power, if it is desired, and there by it
can provide independent shunt reactive compensation for
the line. It is important to note that whereas there is a closed
“direct” path for the real power negotiated by the action of
series voltage injection through Inverters 1and2back tothe
line, the corresponding reactive power exchanged is
supplied or absorbed locally by converter 2 and therefore it
does not flow through the line. Thus, converter 1 can be
operated at a unity power factor or be controlled to have a
reactive power exchange with the line independently of the
reactive power exchanged by the by the converter 2. This
means there is no continuous reactive power flow through
UPFC.

source converters.
2.1. Mode Of Operation
Operation of the UPFC from the standpoint of conventional
power transmission based on reactive shunt compensation,
series compensation, and phase shifting, the UPFC can fulfill
these functions and thereby meetmultiplecontrol objectives
by adding the injected voltage 𝑉 , with appropriate
amplitude and phase angle, to the terminal voltage 𝑉. Using
phasor representation, the basic UPFC power flow control
functions are illustrated in Figure 2

𝑉 = ∆𝑉 is injected in phase or antiphase with 𝑉.
B. Line impedance compensation or Series capacitor

current.
C. Transmission angle regulation, (phaseshifting) 𝑉 = 𝑉
is injected with angular relationship with respect to 𝑉
that achieves the desired phaseshift(advanceorretard)
without any change in magnitude.
D. Simultaneous control of voltage, impedance, and angle
Multifunction power flow control, executed by
simultaneous terminal voltage regulation, series
capacitive compensation, and phase shifting where
𝑉 = ∆𝑉 + 𝑉 + 𝑉 .
3. Problem Formulation
Due to the complexity that arises in solving the equations,
since the functions for real and reactive powers are
expressed in terms of non-linear algebraic equations.
Iterative methods for solving equations shall be used in
solving load flow problems as related to this work. A
Newton-Raphson iterative technique was of load flow was
used to simulate and investigate the power and voltage at
each bus. A MATLAB/PSAT software was also used to run
the simulation as it has the Newton-Raphson technique
embedded in it.
3.1 Modelling of UPFC for Active and Reactive Power
Evaluation
The modelling is carried out for the evaluation of the real
and reactive power using the equivalent circuit of figure 3
Figure3. Equivalent circuit of a UPFC between two
buses i and j
The active and reactive powers of the series convertor
(SSSC) are as follow.
𝑆 = 𝑃 + 𝑗𝑄 = 𝑉 𝐼∗

Expanding equation 1 and separating the realand imaginary
points we have that
𝑃 = /𝑉 / 𝐺 + /𝑉 / /𝑉 𝐺 cos( δ − δ + 𝐵 𝑠𝑖𝑛 (δ

Also, the active and reactive power of the shunt controller
(STATCOM) are obtained as
𝑆 = 𝑃 + 𝑗𝑄 = 𝑉 𝐼∗

Expanding equation 4 and separating the realand imaginary

……. (5)
𝑄 /𝑉 / /𝐵 /+/𝑉 //𝑉 /[𝐺 sin(𝛿 − 𝛿 ) −

Since we assume lossless converters, the UPFC neither
aborts nor injects active power with respect to the AC
system. Hence the constraint equation is
𝑃 + 𝑃 = 0…………………………………………………………. (7)
Where
𝑃 is the series converter real power flow

3.2 Load Flow Analysis with Newton-Raphson Method
Load flow studies are one of the most important aspects of
power system planningand operation.Theloadflowgives us
the sinusoidal steady state of the entire system - voltages,
real and reactive power generated and absorbed and line
losses. Newton-Raphson’s solutionmethodwas usedtocarry
out the analysis because of its sparsity, fast convergenceand
simplicity attribute as compared to other solution methods.
Consider the line diagram of a two bus system shown in

The power-flow problem discusse in this section will be
presented in terms of the 𝑌 Ybus matrix whose elements
are of the form

For i, k = 1, 2, . . . , N. Let the voltae at bus I be denoted by
𝑉 = | 𝑉 |e δ

For i= 1, 2, . . . , N
The net current injected into the etwork at bus I in terms of
the elements Yin of the 𝑌 is determined by
I = Y Y + Y Y + … + Y Y ∑ Y ,i=1, 2…,n …….. (10)
Let Pi and Qi denote the net real andreactive power entering
the network at bus i. Then the complex conjugate of the

Substituting equation 8 and 9 in 12 e have
P − jQ ∑ /Y //V /< θ + 𝛿 − 𝛿 ………….…….(13)
From the preceding equation weobtainthefollowingformof
the power-flow equations:
P =∑ |Y V V 𝑐𝑜𝑠 (𝜃 + 𝛿 − 𝛿 ) ………………. (14)
𝑄 =∑ |Y V V |sin (𝜃 + 𝛿 − 𝛿 ) ……………….. (15)
Where
V is the voltage at bus i
V is the voltage at bus j
δ is the voltage angle at bus i
δ is the voltage angle at bus j
Expanding equation 13, we have
𝑃 − 𝑗𝑄 = 𝑉 𝐺 − 𝑉 𝑉 𝑐𝑜𝑠 δ − δ
− 𝑉 𝑉 sin δ − δ 𝐺 + 𝑉 𝑗𝐵
− 𝑉 𝑉 𝑐𝑜𝑠 δ − δ

𝑉 𝑗𝐵 − 𝑉 𝑉 𝑗𝐵 𝑐𝑜𝑠 δ − δ + 𝑉 𝑉 𝐵 𝑠𝑖𝑛 δ − δ ……(16)
Separating the real and imaginary parts from both sending
and receiving end we have that:
For sending Bus
𝑃 = 𝑉 𝐺 − 𝑉 𝑉 [𝐺 𝑐𝑜𝑠 δ − δ + B sin δ − δ ]
……… (17)
𝑄 = −𝑉 𝐵 − 𝑉 𝑉 [𝐺 𝑠𝑖𝑛 δ − δ − B cos δ − δ ]
……… (18)
Similarly, for the receiving bus
𝑃 = 𝑉 𝐺 − 𝑉 𝑉 𝐺 cos δ − δ − B cos δ − δ
………. (19)
𝑄 = −𝑉 𝐵 − 𝑉 𝐺 cos δ − δ − B cos δ − δ
………. (20)
The objective of the Newton-Raphson method is to produce
values for |Vi| and δi that will match the prescribed Pdiand Qdi
as determined from Equations (14) and (15). At each
iteration of the method, new estimates of |Vi| and δi for the
non-slack buses (i= 2, 3, … , N) are generated. At the end of
each iteration, the power mismatch is given by
ΔPi =Pi,sch - Pi, ………………………………………….......……(21)
ΔQi=Qi,sch - Qi. ………………………………………..……...…..(22)
The complex power flow equations for uncompensated
transmission system in solved by Newton –Raphson’s
iterative method are defined thus.
𝑃 = 𝑃 − 𝑃 = ∑ / 𝑉 // 𝑉 //𝑌 /𝐶𝑜𝑠 (θ + δ −
δ ) i = 1,2. . n ......(23)

𝑄 = 𝑄 − 𝑃 = ∑ / 𝑉 // 𝑉 //𝑌 /𝐶𝑜𝑠 (θ + δ −
δ ) i = 1,2, . . n... (24)
For compensated transmission system, equation 24 is
modified and is defined by
Q = Q − Q + Q = − ∑ / V //𝑉 //Y /𝑠𝑖𝑛 (θ +
δ − δ ) ........ (25)
Where
𝑃 = Real power generated at the ith bus
𝑄 = Reactive power generated at the ith Bus
𝑃 = Real power consumed at the ith bus
𝑉 = Voltage of the nth bus.
𝑄 = Reactive power consumed at the ith bus
𝑉 = Voltage at bus i
𝑌 = element of the bus admittance matrix
δ = Voltage angle at bus i
δ = Voltage angle at nth Bus
θ = Angle associated with 𝑌
Then the new estimates for the bus voltages are

The solution of equation enables us to identify weak points
in the system where the voltages magnitude lies outside the
voltage limits of ±5%.

6. DISCUSSION
The analysis of Nigeria 330kV 42 bus network using
Newton- Raphson’s power flow solution algorithm with
MATLAB/PSAT software was successfully completed. The
results obtained revealed the weak buses with values
outside the statutory limit of 0.95p.u. (313.5kV)and 1.05p.u.
(346.kV). Four (4) UPFC devices where placed at someweak
buses in the network namely Birnin Kebbi, Kano,Newhaven
and Gombe which resulted to almost a flat voltage profile
with all the buses within voltage limits as in figure6.Thebar
plot in the figure 6, shows the comparism of the bus voltages
before and after compensation by UPFC while figure 7 is the
corresponding voltage angle of the bus voltages before and
after compensation. The voltage profile of the system was
improved as a result of the series compensation voltages
added to the system with controllable magnitude by the
UPFC.
7. CONCLUSION
The Nigerian 330kV transmission system associated with
various challenges like instability of the system as a resultof
voltage profile violation, transmission line inefficiency,
problem of long transmission lines, network beingstretched
beyond thermal limit, and poor power quality that causes
constant power failure in Nigeria power system were
discussed. Newton-Raphson’s solutionmethodbecauseof its
sparsity, fast convergence and simplicity attributes
compared to other solution methods was chosen. UPFC was
used because of its ability control the network parameters
which are voltage magnitude, phase angle and impedance
simultaneously and independently. In the simulation study
MATLAB/PSAT simulation tool was used for the analysis.
The result of the simulation of the uncompensated and
compensated network were recordedintable1.Itwas found
that the UPFC improved the voltages at the bus of the power
system.
