Since the beginning, Electrical Engineering has taken an active role in the history. The
"battle of the currents" ac vs. dc in late 1800s was an historical moment when Westing-
house and Thomas Edison accompanied by General Electric Company start a fight to
demonstrate the best approach. In 1850s Nicola Tesla enters into the picture with his
invention "The altemating current motor". Later, George V/estinghouse obtained this
patent and was able to solve ali the problems Edison faced by using alternating current
and
transformers to step up or step down voltages. The latter made long-distance transmission
feasible.
With the advances made in power electronics towards its application in HVDC, an effi-
cient way to achieve long-distance transmission andlor an alternative to link systems with
different frequencies was achieved. New technologies could be developed using power
electronics but this time applied to ac systems. Thus, it is in 1986 when EPRI (Electric
acron)ryn "FACTS" [19]. Later, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Eiectronics Engineers)
and CIGRÉ (Conferénce internationale des grands réseaux électriques) backed up the pro-
posal which finally made FACTS a new technology. The IEEE definition of FACTS is:
The power electronics devices by that time were not able to withstand the requirements of
HV and EHV levels. Even though developments in sub synchronous resonance damping
(NGH-SSR) using thyristors based devices were already done by this time. In this case the
lack of active cooling was a limitation for tþristors to withstand full load current.
Everything evolves and power electronics has not been an exception. That is why nowa-
days it is possible using FACTS devices to load power transmission lines close to their
thermal limit with accurate flow control. Along these years different projects have been

INTRODUCTION
1) Main Focus
FACTS devices have given rise to many expectations in ac power transmission. Since the
beginning FACTS devices have been considered as an option that not only enhances the
power transferred in power transmission lines but also provides an accurate control to dif-
ferent system parameters. Thus, FACTS are able to improve the power transferred maxi-
mizing the power through the lines [14], the stability margin l23llzíl,reliability
[25].
The Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) is one of the latest in the family of FACTS
devices and the first to incorporate more than one power transmission line. In order to gain
the steady state as well as the dynamic behavior of the device. This thesis therefore
focuses on the development of tools that determine the steady state operating limits of the
IPFC as well as the development of tools for the analysis of the dynamic stability. The
high frequency operation of the semiconductor switches is not considered here as the pri-

Chapter 3 describes the operating characteristics of the IPFC in the steady state condition.
The analysis begins with the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) applied to a single
transmission line. The resulting equations are then extended to the Interline power Flow
Controller (IPFC) topology which considers series converters (VSC) in two transmission
lines operating under the constraint of zero net generated power in the interconnected dc
link. This chapter studies issues such as the effect of the IPFC on the operation and net-
work parameters, device rating, line impedance effect, and its constraints.
Chapter 4 describes the algorithm used to solve the power flow problem of a simple net-
work which includes the IPFC. The network consists of a pair of power transmission lines
and three generators. The Newton Raphson algorithm is used to calculate the unknown
magnitude and angle for the injected voltage by each one of the voltage sourced convert-

developing the IPFC model, this is included in a network with three busbars and two gen-
erators. The eigenvalues from this model are obtained and plotted in order to determine
The Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC) is the fundamental building block of a large class
of FACTS devices; inciuding the IPFC. Hence, this chapter begins with the description of
the basic VSC building block, which is then extended to more complex topologies.
2.1 Principles
The Voltage Sourced Converter can produce three alternating voltages from a dc source
by mean of high speed solid state switches. The solid state switches allow us to obtain a
fast and fully controllable amplitude and phase angle in the alternating voltage. From a
machine corurected to an ac network. Like the ac machine, the VSC presents itself as a

inductive source impedance that cannot cause harmonic resonance with the network. On
the other hand some drawbacks are: slow response, potential for rotational instability and

bridge types are two-level bridges and three level bridges. In the two level bridge, the ac
voltage is generated by alternately connecting the output terminal to one of two dc levels
(+Vdc and -Vdc). This is accomplished through the appropriate turn on and turn off of the
switches, each one of which consists of a controllable element (GTO or IGBT) in anti par-
allel with a diode. The dc voltage is supplied by a capacitor, battery or another power con-
verter and it is ideally constant. If the capacitor is used, it should be small because of
economic reasons. On the other hand the use of a small capacitor may generate a larger
ripple in the dc-Link voltage during steady-state operation and even greater impact on the
In the three level bridge topology, the dc capacitor is divided into two equal sections with
equal voltage across each section. The semiconductor valves connect each phase to three
different voltage levels (+Vdc, Zero (Midpoint) and -Vdc). For this arrangement six
diodes are required as in Figure 2. 3. In this anangement, the zero voltage is obtained if
the two switches in the middle are tumed on. +Vdc is applied to the output if the two
upper switches are tumed on while -Vdc is obtained if the lower two switches are fired.
One of the advantages of this technique is the possibilify to set the pulse width (see o

more than three levels are not a common option in the market due to their complexity.

In high power applications the switching frequency can be classified as follows. Funda-
mental frequency switching (60 Hz) is considered as low frequency. Medium switching
frequency can be defined between 5 to 9 times fundamental frequency (300 Hzto 540H2).
High frequency is above 15 times the fundamental frequency (> 900 Hz) [16].
VOLTAGE SOURCED CONVERTER (VSC) AND FÀCTS TOPOLOGIES T6
An important task of the switching technique is the reduction of harmonic conrenr gener-
ated by the converter. Many techniques have been developed throughout the years, from
the basic six pulse, to Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), and Optimal Pulse Width Modula-
tion (OPWM) where the switching angles are calculated in order to avoid certain harmon-
ics components [1]. Aithough Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) creates high switching
If the switches are operated at fundamental frequency, with 120o phase shifting, to con-
nect the dc supply sequentially to the outputs, then a balanced set of three square waves
(Va, Vb and Vc) is obtained as shown in Figure 2. 2.In a three phase system with delta
connected converters (isolated neutral), the triplen order harmonics 3rd, 9th, 15th, etc, will
be only of zero sequence and therefore they will not flow in the line currents, unless the
supply voltage or the converter become unbalanced. As a result, triplen harmonics wiil
include positive and negative sequence components that will flow into the system.
The output voltage waveform of the six-pulse converter contains harmonic components of
frequency (6k X 1) 'f and its input current has harmonic components 6k .f and k : l,

GTO devices are available in a wide range of voltage and current ratings including, in par-
ticular, the current turn off capability. A widely used GTO has a peak voltage rating of 4.5
kV and a peak turn off current of 4 kA. As with thyristors, it is important to protect the
individual GTO devices against both forward and reverse overvoltage and against exces-
sive rates ofchange ofinrush current and ofvoltage atturn off. A typical snubber circuit is
shown in Fisure 2. 5.
For the GTO to tum off safely at a high current, the snubber capacitor must have a high
value. The energy stored in this capacitor must be dissipated after every switching. If a
smaller capacitor is used, the switching losses are substantially reduced but the safe tum
off current is also reduced. Energy stored in the di/dt limiting inductor of the snubber cir-
cuit at turn off is dissipated via the discharge resistor and diode. Some of the dvldt limiting

The STATCOM is a voltage sourced converter that converts a dc voltage into a three-

The arrangement in Figure 2. 7. shows a typical STATCOM, in steady state the power
exchange between the device and the ac system is mainly reactive. The power exchange is
controlled by regulating the amplitude of the STATCOM output voitage. If the per-unit
amplitude of the STATCOM output voltage (Vc) is larger than the per-unit amplitude of
the ac system (Va), the device generates reactive power (capacitive). On the other hand if
the STATCOM output voltage is lower than that of the ac system, the device will absorb
reactive power (inductive). This operation is clear from the phasor diagram in Figure 2. 6.
Finally if both ac system and STATCOM have the same voltage, there is no power
exchange. The current from the STATCOM is 90' shifted with respect to the ac system
voltage, and it can be leading (generates reactive power) or lagging (absorbs reactive
power) [4].
In this case a capacitor is used to supply dc voltage to the converter. However the con-
verter keeps the capacitor charged to the levels set. In the steady operation the phase angle
between Va and Vc is kept at 0'. By marginally shifting it from 0o, active power can be

made to flow into or out of the VSC, thereby charging or discharging the dc capacitor.
This mechanism is used to keep the capacitor voltage constant if needed. In fact, in the
steady state, the output voltage of the inverter slightly lags the ac system voltage, so that a
small amount of real power from the system flows into the VSC to compensate for intemal

Up to this point the devices were capable of supplying or absorbing reactive power in the
of the STATCOM and/or SSSCs. For instance the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC)
combines a STATCOM and a SSSC. The Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) consists
of two or more SSSCs. The Generalized Unified Power Flow Controiler (GUPFC) uses a

Uniike the STATCOM and SSSC devices which are only capable of providing reactive

some real power exchange as well. These additional degrees of freedom are expected to

The SSSC is coupied to a STATCOM in a back-to-back anangement. Thus, the shunt and
series devices are able to exchange active power. This arrangement is called Unified

series device injects a voltage in series with the line but this time without any restriction
other than the device rating. In a widely used control concept, the shunt part is operated at
unity power factor and is used to maintain constant voltage on the dc capacitor through the
control of the active power. However one additional degree of freedom is available and
may be used to generate or absorb reactive power at the shunt bus. The first large scale

3.2,1 Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) without active po\üer source
For a SSSC without an active power source, the voltage injected (Ll/) in series with the
line has to be 90" leading or lagging the line current (neglecting losses). Thus, only reac-
tive power is injected or absorbed by the SSSC in the steady state. When the voltage
injected leads the line current by 90", the SSSC will perform an action similar to an induc-
tor in series with the power transmission line. The opposite action, similar to a capacitor
will be performed if the voltage is injected 90" lagging the line current. This modus oper-
andi under steady state conditions is shown using phasors in Figure 3. 4 where a voltage
phasor (LV) is injected in series with the voltage source phasor (Zs) and in quadrature
When the SSSC injects a voltage emulating a capacitor in series with the line, the line cur-
rent is boosted, while the inductor emulation has the opposite effect. At the same time the

limitation anymore. Therefore active power as well as reactive power can be supplied or
Illustrated by phasors in Figure 3.5, avoltage phasor (LV) is injected in series with the

For steady state the UPFC model can be assumed to be a sinusoidal voltage source in

In actual operation the delta angle varies according to demand, season, and usage whether
normal or emergency, etc. Therefore a relation between the rating of the device and angle

The rating of the device can be obtained from the equations above (Equation 3.6 and

shows a cone shape where at larger delta angles (ô,") the overali device rating is
increased. Thus, for every angle delta there is a corresponding conic section.

By taking the derivative of the active power given in Equation 3.6 with respect to the
injected angle (ryt ) and setting it equal to zero gives us the angle at which the active
power can be maximum. In our case, the maximum occurs fot V, : Vtu,o,p as in
Equation 3.14.
For any given value of A,Vt, the maximum real power injected occurs for an angle V tntaxp

three different values of LV, (-0.05 p.u, 0 p.u and 0.05 p.u); and they all peak for the same

Fig. 3. 13 Voltage injected angle (Vr,,o,¿) for maximum and minimum active power
As well as the active power, the reactive power will change according to the voltage
injected (angle and magnitude). Thus, similar to active power, the reactive power injected
or absorbed can be plotted with respect to the voltage angle injected (ry, ) for the parame-
ters given in Section 3.3. Ax expression for the voltage injected angle (V, ) at which the
reactive power is maximum is illustrated in Equation 3.15. The angle Vr for maximum
The results from the example presented in Section 3.3 are as follows: the injected angle at
which the reactive power is maximum is -i.4 radians. The maximum reactive power has a
voitage injected magnitude of -0.05 while the minimum reactive power has a voltage
injected of magnitude equal to 0.03 as shown in Figure 3. L4. Thus, replacing vr,,,,e in
the reactive power expression Equation 3.7, we obtain the maximum reactive power
injected to the line for a voltage injected magnitude of -0.05 and the maximum reactive
power taken away from the line for a voltage injected magnitude of 0.03. These values are

The Flexible AC Transmission System or FACTS devices according to many experts has
been described as a short to midterm solution for bottlenecks or even considered as one
alternative for the future system enlargement [3]. In this section it will be shown how the
active and reactive po\ /er are influenced by the installation of an UPFC. power enhance-
In previous sections, we were concerned with the rating of the UPFC converter. Hence, all
P-Q diagrams were drawn showing only the powers injected/absorbed by the UpFC. In the
treatment in this and subsequent sections, we are investigating the impact of the UpFC on
the power flow in the power transmission line. Thus, the diagrams such as Figure 3. 15,
shows the active and reactive power at the receiving end. These should not be confused
The active and reactive power at the receiving end of our system 1 in Section 3.3 is
described bv:

The parameters given in Section 3.3 are replaced in Equation 3.16 and Equation 3.17. We
can plot the relation between active power and reactive power at the receiving end as illus-
power of 0.805 p.u and reactive power for -0.155 p.u, which is a capacitive power factor
by convention. The point without compensation corresponds to the center of the circle
drawn in Figure 3. 15. Each one of the contours corresponds to a different voltage injected
magnitude. The closest contour to the centre has a voltage injected magnitude of +0.01
p.u and the outer contour which includes all the other a voltage injected contours has a

The addition of the UPFC for this specific case allows us to reach I.62 p.u in active power,
which means that our active power is 100% more than it would be with no compensation.
Similarly, the reactive power without compensation is -0.155 p.u, but with the addition of
the UPFC, the reactive power can vary between 0.66 p.u and -0.91 for voltage injected
Another feature that can be added to the P-Q diagram at the receiving end is the voltage
injection angle (V' ). Itr Figure 3. 16, additional lines representing constant voltage injec-

given injection LV,l,y* as indicated by the arbitrary vector shown in Figure 3. 16. The
active and reactive power at the receiving end are (P ¡:1.23 p.u and Qr,:T.0, which cor-
respond to a voltage injected of magnitude A,V, : 0.03 and angle v, : I in our particular
case. In similar manner any voltage injected has a corresponding operating point.

In previous sections the focus was on a UPFC. This approach was adopted to explain the
impact of single device in a power transmission system and to understand this basic unit of
the IPFC. The IPFC consists of at least two systems (see Figure 3. l7) subject to additional
In the IPFC, we connect the converters in the two lines through the dc link, as shown in
Figure 3. 17. Note that only real power can flow through the link.
The net active power has to be zero (neglecting losses). This means that the active power
supplied by one of the power transmission lines is the same active power that the other
power transmission line absorbs. Failure to do this would either overcharge or discharge

The second constraint is due to the dependency of the active power supplied by the VSC
on the line current. The maximum amount of active power that can be transferred to the
INTERLINE POWER FLOW CONTROLLER ûPFC) 50
other line is also constrained by the current in the line. As a consequence of this limitation,
a region of the P-Q diagram will not be feasible for operation. Thus, the maximum active
power transferred through the dc link will be constrained by the power converter with the
lowest current.
Consider a typical IPFC application in Figure 3. 18, where the two power transmission
lines terminate in the same ac network X at one end, and have separate ac networks
(Y and Z) attheir remote ends. The IPFC is located at the coÍr.mon end as illustrated.
The operation of the IPFC will be explored with special attention to its constraints.

The active power that the VSCr can supply to power transmission line 1 is given by the
positive half of the active power plot of Figure 3. 20. The maximum amount of active
power available from system 2 is drawn as a line of constant active power at 0.0178 p.u in
Figure 3.20. Thus, system 2 irnposes a constraint on system 1, which is unable to operate
above the active power line. The impact on the P-Q diagram at the receiving end is shown

Simiiar to system 1, the active power supplied by the VSCz to its power transmission line
is shown in Figure 3. 20. The maximum amount of active power available from system 1
is drawn as a dashed line of constant active power at 0.0342 p.u in Figure 3 . 20.
System 1 is able to supply as much active power as required by system 2, which means
that system 2 will not be constrained. As a result, the fulI P-Q diagram at the receiving end
In terms of our first constraint, the system 2willbe able to operate throughout the entire P-

Demonstrated in the previous section, the lack of active power in one system constrains
the other system according to the amount of active power available. This limitation has
For system 1 to operate without limitation, system 2 has to supply the minimum amount of
active power of 0.0477 p.u. However system 2 can supply a maximum of 0.0179 p.u
which generates an active power constraint, on the other hand system 2 can absorbs from
system 1 a maximum amount of active power of 0.0314 p.u but system I is able to supply
0.0343 p.u. The lack of active power is 0.0298 p.u in the first part and 0.003 p.u which
means that some regions in the P-Q diagram will not be feasible for operation as noted in
Figure 3.21.

The line that divides the non feasible region (solid color in Figure 3.21) from the feasible
region is a line of constant active power supplied by the VSC. The family of lines at con-
stant active power supplied by the VSC in the P-Q diagram are called "Voltage Compen-
sation Lines" 112]. These lines were straight lines in the reference because the resistance
was neglected.

that system I can fulfil completely the active power requirement of system 2. Hence the

The maximum active power that VSCz is now able to supply is 0.0238 p.u compared with
its original value of 0.0178 p.u. Its active power is increased as a consequence of the
reduction in line impedance. If we increase the active po\rver available from VSCz at the
same time we are able to supply more active power to system 1. In our case the impedance

CT{APTER. 5 IPFC Small signal stability modetr
A power system is said to be stable for small disturbances if the system returns to the orig-
inal operating point after being subjected to a small disturbance. A disturbance is consid-
ered to be small if the changes in system variables caused by the disturbance are
sufficiently small to permit the use of models based on first order linear approximation.
The objective of this chapter is to develop a small signal modei for the IPFC, and to use it
to investigate the stability when incorporated into a network with transmission lines and
generators.
In linearized small signal analysis a system is considered unstable if it moves away from a
given equilibrium point. It is possible that the system is still stable in a large signal sense,
in that it settles down at some other equilibrium state. However smali signal analysis does
give an indication whether large and possible undesirable changes are going to occur.

The eigenvalues of the system matrix give information on frequencies involved in small
oscillation of this system and also whether these oscillations are suff,rciently damped. The
imaginary part of the eigenvalues give the frequency. The amount of damping is given by

CHAPTER. 6 Conctrusions and
Recomrnendations
6.1 Conclusions
The main focus in this thesis was to obtain more details about the IPFC operation.
Although its individual components are well understood, its performance once assembled
is more complex. It was necessary to investigate the IPFC behavior using steady state as
The IPFC is certainly a very interesting FACTS device because it incorporates two or
more power transmission lines, making it the first "multi-line FACTS device". However
the IPFC series configuration in each line plays a strong role, since any change in the line
current will affect the IPFC performance. In order to gain an understanding of its opera-
tion, parametric studies which include variation in factors such as line impedance, po\Ã/er
available, sending, receiving and injected voltages (magnitudes and angles) and so on

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS r00
The IPFC can be controlled in various modes with the constraint that (neglecting losses)
the active power into one of the series converters must equal the active power out of the
other. In the operating mode considered in this thesis, the active and reactive power flows
on one of the lines (primary) was completeiy controllable (inside maximum limits), but
only one quantity such as receiving end power or voltage was controllable on the second-
ary line. Indeed it was even possible to control the direction of the power flow in both
lines.
In Chapter 3 it was shown that the receiving end active and reactive power could be
changed by injecting a series voltage and that the range of active and reactive power that
can be graphically represented within a circle in the P-Q plane. However when the con-
straints are considered only a certain portion of this circular region is feasible from the
The IPFC is the next device in a sequence which starts with fixed series capacitors and
progresses to TCSC and then to SSSC devices. The tools developed here can be extended
by future workers to study the many advantages offered by any VSC based FACTS tech-
nology. These include better control of the power flow so that thermal limits are not
exceeded, better sharing of power between power transmission lines, the possibility of
using modulation signals to improve overall stability and the prevention of network loop
flows.
It is expected that with further accumulated experience, the IPFC and allied FACTS
devices will undergo further penetration into the power networks and with more use,

The small signal model for the IPFC developed in this study is one of many research
directions in this field. The small signal model allows us to determine if a given operating
state is stable. The small signal model can be used to identi$r the feasible operating region
as a function of the operating condition and the IPFC constraints. Such analysis was con-
ducted in Chapter 5. The region of interest was divided into a large number of discrete
points and the eigenvalues of the system matrix calculated for each operating point. It was
found that the particular system analyzed the complete region feasible from steady state
point of view is also feasible from small signal stability point of view.
Although not done in this thesis, the state space model developed here is readily amenable
6.2 FurtherRecommendations
The IPFC study is an interesting approach to a new device that it is expected to be in oper-
ation by the year 2002. Recommendations for a more extensive study of the IPFC are out-
The mode of operation for the IPFC used in this thesis considered fixed active and reactive

well as voltage control on the other line, or voltage control on both lines with active or
reactive power control on the primary line could be investigated and their advantages and
The dynamic model developed only considered the IPFC device, a simple network repre-
sentation with machine dynamics and simplified controls. Additional control equations
depicting the dynamics of feedback control loops could be added to the state formulation
In this thesis, the design of controller for IPFC to improve the damping of the power sys-
tem oscillations was not considered. It is recommended that the dynamic model be used to
identify the most suitable feedback control signals for improving a given mode of oscilia-
tion.
'When
one or more parallel paths for current exist, it is difficult to control the current in
any given path. The efficacy of the IPFC could also be investigated for the purpose of mit-
igating network loop flows. Such loop flows may lead to bofflenecks and even congestion.
L'Abbate et al in [27] describes a method to prevent loop flows using FACTS devices and
in particular a UPFC to carry out this task. Another approach to reduce or even eliminate
loop flows using FACTS devices is given by Huang in [28] where an Optimal Power
