An Advanced FACTS Controller for Power Flow Management in Transmission System Using IPFC

Abstract
Interline power flow controller (IPFC) is a new concept of FACTS controller for series compensation with the unique capability of power flow management among multi-line of a substation. In this work mainly concentrated on choosing a suitable voltage source converter, to employ it in the IPFC. A 48 pulse multilevel inverter has been developed by cascading several units of three level diode clamped multilevel inverter (NPCI) with the help of phase shifting transformer.

Introduction:With increasing demand and supply in the power systems, Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are being popularly used for maintaining the security, stability and reliability. The FACTS controllers utilize power electronics based technology and can provide static as well as dynamic control on line power flows, bus voltages and thus enhance system stability and security. The FACTS controllers have been broadly developed on two different principles

1. Which alters the line series reactance or bus shunt reactance or voltage phase difference across a line and utilizes conventional thyristor switches for control. These include static VAR compensator (SVC), Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Thyristor Controlled Phase Angled Regulator (TCPAR). 2. Which controls the series injected voltage and/or shunt injected current employing voltage source converters include Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM),

Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC)

Interline Power Flow Controller:It is proposed by Gyugyi with Sen and Schauder The IPFC scheme, together with independently controllable reactive series compensation of each individual line, provides a capability to directly transfer real power between the compensated lines which makes it possible to equalize both real and reactive power flow between the lines and reduces the burden of overload line by real power transfer.

Conclusion:VSC considered is a 48 pulse multilevel inverter which has been simulated. It is observed that it is almost sinusoidal with very less THD. Typical and simple power system model has been proposed to investigate the performance of the IPFC, composed of 48 pulse inverter. It has been found that the IPFC injects the series voltage of controllable magnitude and phase angle in order to maintain the real and reactive power flow over the transmission line. Closed loop controller has been developed for the IPFC configuration to maintain the voltage profile at any instant of the power system. The simulation results show the improved transfer capability in the transmission system.
