Exercise:
1) |
Survey all the DC links existing in India |
2) |
Study the following power flow controllers which have been installed in the world: |
a) |
TVA's Sullivan Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) |
b) |
AEP's Inez Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) |
c) |
The Variable Frequency Transformer (VFT) at Langlois (Hydro-Quebec) |
Note that (a) and (b) are based on voltage source power electronic controllers while (c) is a rotary device.
An interesting new concept in power flow control and series compensation is "Distributed Static Series Compensator". Can you find out more about this ? |
