Abstract: The deficiency of non-renewable energy sources makes the study of renewable energy sources, distributed generation and their operation in a power system network very much relevant to the current scenario. Power system network consisting of diesel generator set as a base power generating station, one wind farm as a source of renewable energy, five bus network, and a three-phase load is considered to study the damping of power system oscillations with the help of a prevalent flexible a.c. transmission system (FACTS) device named unified power flow controller (UPFC). The test system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results verify the efficacy of unified power flow controller in damping out oscillations in the power system.
