Power Flow control is very important procedure when renewable
sources are connected to electric grid. Furthermore, Most common
topologies of grid tied distributed generation have inductor attached
to power converters.
In this article, the role of
inductors linking between power
converters and electric grid is analyzed. Values of these inductors
can affect largely the value of Power flow (Active and Reactive
power) in both sides, while phase angle between voltage of
terminals determines the direction of power flow.
This paper proposes MATLAB/SIMULINK models to study this
impact, for different operation conditions (four quadrants I-V
curves). Two methods of coils calculation are applied, in order to
design the best value calculated in the proposed
MATLAB/SIMULINK models.
with different frequency make Voltage Source Converter - HVDC link (VSC-HVDC links) an
attractive technology for most power transport in meshed grids. Advantages are the high
controllability of active and reactive power at the converter’s terminals
and the ability to increase the
stability of the surrounding AC system. VSC-HVDC can provide active and reactive control to achieve
maximum power transfer, system stability and improve power quality and reliability.
This research aims to develop a mathematical model and an algorithm for the analysis of power flow in
a steady state of power system containing VSC-HVDC.The Jacobian matrix inNewton-
Raphsonalgorithm, which is the relationship between voltage and power mismatches, is extended with
the VSC HVDC variablesto control active and reactive powers and voltage magnitude in any
combination. A Newton-Raphson load flow program has been developed which includes
comprehensive control facilities and exhibits very strong convergence characteristics. Two scenarios
have been studied, back-to-back VSC-HVDC link and full VSC-HVDC link connecting two buses in
AC networks. The algorithm and the program have been verified through a number of simulation
examples carried out on IEEE 14-bus System.
Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) plays a vital role in improving the power system
performance, both the static and dynamic, and enhanced the system loading capability by
rerouting the power flow in the network.
This paper presents control and
performance of UPFC intendedfor installation on the
transmission line to control power flow and improve voltage profile.
