Abstract:

Hybrid power flow controller (HPFC) not only achieves the same control functions, but also has lower cost and broad application prospects compared with unified power flow controller (UPFC). However, the complex structure of the HPFC device and the difficulty in accurately and rapidly determining its voltage control parameters make it challenging for verifying the capacity of the HPFC. To address the above problems, a steady-state mathematical model for HPFC applicable to power flow calculations of power systems is proposed. Initially, an equivalent model for HPFC with additional nodes is established, and the power injection model for HPFC is derived by applying the superposition principle. Subsequently, an equivalent voltage source is delineated within HPFC, and the voltage of the equivalent voltage source is computed based on control objectives. Then, the voltage control parameters for HPFC are calculated according to relevant voltage configuration rules. Finally, data exchange between MATLAB and PSD-BPA software is achieved by utilizing a data exchange interface, facilitating power flow control calculations for large power grids incorporating HPFC. The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed HPFC model and calculation method are verified by simulated examples.
