An Improved Triple Interline DC Power Flow Controller for Bidirectional Power Control

For the operational safety and stability of electrical system, effective power flow control in meshed high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids makes sense. In order to realize the objective of controlling several lines simultaneously and independently in a convenient way, interline dc power flow controller (IDCPFC) has been introduced. To cover some shortages of present IDCPFC topologies, an improved triple interline dc power flow controller (TI-DCPFC), capable of controlling power flow of two lines actively, has been proposed in this paper. To explain it thoroughly and explicitly, its operational principle is illustrated combined with the mathematic equations firstly. Then, to validate its capacity of dealing with occasions of bidirectional flows and the dual-freedom control function, the theoretical control strategy and simulation results in a typical working mode are referred to comprehensively.
