Abstract
The electrical power system is one complex architecture integrating generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization sections. The exponential increase in power requirements made this system more complex and dynamic. Providing good quality and uninterrupted power has become a challenge. In this respect, FACTS devices are playing a vital role in improving power quality and also in increasing the transmission capacity of lines. In this paper. Distributed Power Flow Controller (DPFC), with a PEM fuel cell, has been used in an IEEE-14 bus system to improve system power flow capacity. The proposed IEEE-14 bus with DPFC has been simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The effects are exhibited and analyzed.

Summary
Uninterrupted electrical power supply is a major requirement for the development of a country. With very fast increase in non-linear loads in the power system, the supply of good quality power has become a major problem. To cater these needs, FACTS devices are playing a very vital role in increasing the efficiency of the transmission system [1,2]. Various algorithms have been developed with the help of which it is feasible to efficiently place FACTS devices in the power system, something that has drastically reduced the cost of operation and has improved the quality of power transfer [12,13]. The complete proposed system has been simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK and the result has been compared with the system without DPFC in it
