Paper Title
Distributed Power Flow Controller For Power Quality Enhancement
Abstract
This paper presents the overview of
Distributed Power Flow Controller which is a recent
inclusion in D-FACTS family. The deregulated
power environment demands low cost, high impact
power quality devices. The DPFC emerges from the
UPFC and inherits the control capability of the
UPFC, which is the simultaneous adjustment of the
line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus-
voltage magnitude. DPFC controllers have more
reliability and cost saving approach over UPFC
controller. The reliability of the DPFC is greatly
increased because of the redundancy of the series
converters.
