Some studies of distributed series FACTS controller to control active power flow through transmission line

Abstract

Day by day energy consumption is increasing. It is an urgent need to increase power generation and hence increase in power transmission capability. There is an increasing demand of power flow control in power systems of the future and FACTS devices are the most suitable devices to control power flow. However cost and reliability are the main issues that create hurdles in widespread application of FACTS Devices. Distributed-series FACTS Controller gives an opportunity to realize cost effective power flow control. In this Paper some studies are presented on Distributed series FACTS controller to control active power flow. Multilevel Inverter topologies are studied for Distributed FACTS Controller.
