The invention relates to a unified power flow controller used for an unbalanced system. The unified power flow controller comprises a static synchronization compensator and a static synchronization series compensator. An upper part split capacitance and a lower part capacitance are arranged between the static synchronization compensator and the static synchronization series compensator. The upper part split capacitance and the lower part split capacitance are connected in series and then respectively connected with the static synchronization compensator and the static synchronization series compensator in parallel. The upper part split capacitance and the lower part split capacitance are connected in series and then a split capacitance branch circuit is formed. A midpoint of the split capacitance branch circuit is connected with a neutral point of the static synchronization series compensator. Output ends of the static synchronization compensator and the static synchronization series compensator are respectively connected with a power grid. The unified power flow controller is convenient to split-phase control and modularization design, small in running loss, good in voltage control capacity, good in zero-sequence current controlling, few in element quantity, low in cost and high in cost performance.
