Hi Hassan

I understand that you are looking for the following “Power Electronics FACTS” blocks in Simscape Electrical of MATLAB R2023a.

• Static Synchronous Compensator (Phasor Type)
• Static Synchronous Series Compensator (Phasor Type)
• Static Var Compensator (Phasor Type)
• Unified Power Flow Controller (Phasor Type)

It appears that there have been some changes since R2021a due to which the blocks are not present.

You may instead try incorporating the models present in the Examples section which performs the functions of the above listed blocks in your model.

I hope this helps resolve your issue!
