Abstract
The flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS) family called distributed power flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is derived from the unified power flow controller (UPFC) with eliminated common dc link. The active power exchange between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. The DPFC is to use multiple small size single phase converters instead of large size three phase series converter in the UPFC. The large number of series converters provides redundancy, thereby increasing the system reliability. As the D-FACTS converters are single phase and floating with respect to the ground, there is no high voltage isolation required between the phases. The cost of the DPFC system is lower than the UPFC. The DPFC has the same control capability as the UPFC, which comprises the adjustment of the line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus voltage. Due to the high control capability DPFC can also be used to improve the power quality and system stability, such as low frequency power oscillation damping, voltage sag restoration or balancing asymmetry.
