Static Inter-Phase Power Controller Modeling and Its Comparison with IPC and SSSC

The Inter-Phase Power Controller (IPC) is a series type power controller with limited power control range. It is not independently able to control the active and reactive power flows of the transmission line. In order to overcome this drawback, a novel FACTS topology, called Static Inter-Phase Power Controller (SIPC), is introduced in this paper. In this topology, the Phase Shifting Transformers (PSTs) are replaced by Voltage Source Converters (VSCs). In this paper, the transient behavior of SIPC is modeled and studied. The results are compared with the simulation results of IPC and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). It is shown that SIPC unlike IPC is independently able to control the active and reactive power flows while it also contains the other capabilities of IPC such as fault current limitation and voltage isolation. In addition, it efficiently increases the limited power control range of IPC and also is able to regulate its local bus voltage. The results also reveal that SIPC compared with SSSC, has many additional capabilities such as fault current limitation, voltage isolation and voltage regulation.
