This paper presents a novel development of a fuzzy logic controlled power system using UPFCs to damp the oscillations in a FACTS based integrated multi-machine power system consisting of 3 generators, 3 transformers, 9 buses, 4 loads & 2 UPFCs. Oscillations in power systems have to be taken a serious note of when the fault takes place in any part of the system, else this might lead to the instability mode & shutting down of the power system. UPFC based POD controllers can be used to suppress the oscillations upon the occurrence of a fault at the generator side or near the bus side. In order to improve the dynamic performance of the multi-machine power system, the behavior of the UPFC based POD controller should be coordinated, otherwise the power system performance might be deteriorated. In order to keep the advantages of the existing POD controller and to improve the UPFC-POD performance, a hybrid fuzzy coordination based controller can be used ahead of a UPFC based POD controller to increase the system dynamical performance & to coordinate the UPFC-POD combination. This paper depicts about this hybrid combination of a fuzzy with a UPFC & POD control strategy to damp the electro-mechanical oscillations. The amplification part of the conventional controller is modified by the fuzzy coordination controller. Simulink models are developed with & without the hybrid controller. The 3 phase to ground symmetrical fault is made to occur near the first generator for 200 ms. Simulations are performed with & without the controller. The digital simulation results show the effectiveness of the method presented in this paper.
