Abstract
System stability and power quality are the most incredibly essential requirements of a power system. Renewable Energy sources of electricity help in meeting the load demands of consumers in a clean and efficient manner. Microgrids and FACTS devices are used as environmentally friendly solutions to feed customers while preserving the stability of the power supply. This research work presents a stability examination of a distribution system having a microgrid with and without GUPFC under various fault conditions like LG and LL faults. The simulation results obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK for such arrangements are presented in this work. It is found that Microgrid makes the power system more environment friendly and GUPFC successfully mitigates voltage sag occurring during fault conditions and helps in performance enhancement of the system by improving frequency and ISE.
