Approach: This study presents the method to enhance transient stability of power system by Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). The mathematical model of power system equipped with a UPFC is systematically derived. The parameters of UPFC are modeled into power flow equation and thus it is used to determine control strategy. The swing curves of the three phase faulted power system without and with a UPFC are tested and compared in various cases. Results: The swing curve of system without a UPFC gets increases monotonically and thus the system can be considered as unstable whereas the swing curves of system with a UPFC can return to stable equilibrium point. Conclusion: From the simulation results, the UPFC can enhance transient stability of power system.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
