A method for calculating power flow solution of a power transmission
network with unified power flow controllers is adapted to calculate the
power flow on a large-scale power transmission network. The unified power
flow controller has a series transformer, a series converter, a direct
current coupling capacitor, a shunt converter, and a series transformer.
The shunt transformer is connected electrically to a sending-end bus. The
series transformer is connected electrically to the sending-end bus and a
receiving-end bus. The unified power flow controller is represented by
equivalent active and reactive loads on the sending-end and receiving-end
buses of the power transmission network.
