Power Quality Improvement in Transmission line by Using Hybrid Power Flow Controller

Abstract

The Electronic based FACTS controllers are static equipment. Its principle purpose is to control AC transmission. The parameters of FACTS are enhancement of controllability, ability of power transfer, control of line impedance, load angle and the magnitude of bus voltage. A unified power controller is to be a static device and this system device should have quick reactive transmission. This paper focuses on the issues like voltage sag and swell of power quality. HPFC is used to moderate the voltage variation and improve power quality and also used tocouple the phase controllable bridges to produce current which is injected into a transmission line by using series of transformers. The UPFC is a combination of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC)which is coupled with common DC link. The HPFC eliminates the common dc link between the shunt and series converters and alsoit performs in transmission line to exchange real power between converters at the 3 rd harmonic frequency. The HPFC employs. Several 1-phase converters like D-FACTS concepts as the seriescompensator .These concepts reduce the rating of the components and offer a high reliability. Since the HPFC can immediately control the active and reactive power flow and the voltage magnitude, it implies a great potential for power oscillation damping. The case study contains a HPFC located in an exceedingly single-machine infinite bus power grid with 2 parallel transmission lines that simulated in MATLAB/Simulink.
