Distributed Facts Device for Flow Controls
()
About this ebook
Flexible ac Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices are used to control power flow in the transmission grid to relieve congestion and limit loop flows. High cost and reliability concerns have limited the widespread deployment of FACTS solutions. This paper introduces the concept of Distributed FACTS (D-FACTS) as an alternative approach to realizing cost-effective power flow control. By way of example, a distributed series impedance (DSI) and a distributed static series compensator (DSSC) are shown that can be clipped on to an existing power line and can, dynamically and statically, change the impedance of the line so as to control power flow. Details of implementation and system impact are presented in the paper, along with experimental results.

INTRODUCTION
––––––––
The power grid infrastructure in the U.S. is in urgent need of modernization. Of the challenges facing utilities, possibly the most urgent is the issue of eliminating transmission constraints and bottlenecks. Increasing congestion and loop flows on the transmission and sub- transmission system degrades system reliability, increases energy prices, and prevents full utilization of existing assets. As system operators are required to maintain operation under (N-1) and often (N-2) contingencies, system capacity can be dramatically decreased even as existing lines operate significantly below their thermal limits. The increase in generation connected to the grid, a sustained decrease in transmission infrastructure investments over the last two decades, and long delays in citing and approval of new transmission lines has exacerbated the problem considerably.
Under such conditions, it becomes critical that existing T&D resources be fully utilized. Possibly the most significant issue in terms of grid utilization is that of active power flow control. Utility customers purchase real power, megawatts, and MW-Hrs., and not voltage or reactive power. Thus, control of how and where real power flows on the network is of critical importance, and is the underlying premise behind the realization of an electricity market. Congested networks limit system reliability and constrain the ability of low-cost generators to provide interested customers with low-cost power. The situation is considerably aggravated when one sees that neighboring lines are running below capacity, but cannot be utilized, while uncontrolled loop-flows
result in overloads on existing lines. Active power flow control requires cost-effective series VAR
solutions, that can alter the impedance of the power lines or change the angle of the voltage applied across the line, thus controlling power flow. Series reactive compensation has rarely been used other than on long transmission lines, mainly because of high cost and complexity of achieving voltage isolation and issues related to fault management.
There is general consensus that the future power grid will need to be smart and aware, fault tolerant and self-healing, dynamically and statically controllable, and asset and energy efficient. The accepted and technically proven approach for realizing a smart grid, in particular achieving control of active power flow on the grid, has been through the use of Flexible Ac Transmission Systems or FACTS. FACTS devices, such as STATCON, SVC, SSSC and UPFC can be inserted in series or shunt, or a combination of the two, to achieve a myriad of control functions, including voltage regulation, system damping and power flow control. Typical FACTS devices can operate at up to 345 kV and can be rated as high as 200 MVA. Even though FACTS
technology is technically proven, it has not seen widespread commercial acceptance due to a number of reasons:
i) High system power ratings require the use of custom high- power GTO or GCT devices with significant engineering effort - raises first cost.
ii) High fault currents (60 000 Amps) and basic insulation requirements (1000 KV) stress the power electronics system, especially for series systems that are required for power flow control.
iii) Utilities require higher reliability levels than what they have so far experienced with FACTS devices (primarily as a result of high MTTR).
iv) Required skilled work force in the field to maintain and operate the system is not within a utility’s core competency normally.
v) High total cost of ownership, e.g., the Marcy Convertible Static Compensator (CSC) cost $54 million.
This paper discusses the concept of a distributed approach for realizing FACTS devices, in particular series FACTS devices. The increasing performance and decreasing price of electronics, power electronics and communications technologies have transformed entire industry sectors. It is proposed that a similar approach to the implementation of high-power FACTS devices can provide a higher performance and lower cost method for enhancing.
T&D system reliability and controllability, improving asset utilization and end-user power quality, while minimizing system cost and environmental impact.
The concept of a Distributed Series Impedance (DSI) that can realize variable line impedance, helping to control active power flow is used to illustrate the feasibility of a Distributed
FACTS or D-FACTS approach. The concept can be further extended to realize a Distributed Static Series Compensator or DSSC, using modules of small rated (~10 kVA) single phase inverters and a single turn transformer (STT), along with associated controls, power supply circuits and built-in communications capability. These concepts are discussed in detail, along with the benefits and issues associated with such an application.

2.1 Introduction to MATLAB:
MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. The name mat lab stands for matrix laboratory. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy- to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation. Typical uses include Math and computation Algorithm development Data acquisition Modeling, simulation, and prototyping Data analysis, exploration, and visualization Scientific and engineering graphics Application development, including graphical user interface building.
MATLAB is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not require dimensioning. This allows you to solve many technical computing problems, especially those with matrix and vector formulations, in a fraction of the time it
would take to write a program in a scalar no interactive language such as C or FORTRAN.
2.2 History of MATLAB:
Cleve Barry Moler, the chairman of the computer-science department at the University of New Mexico, he is a mathematician and computer programmer specializing in numerical analysis. Started developing MATLAB in the late 1970s. He designed it to give his students access to LINPACK and EISPACK without their having to learn Fortran. It soon spread to other universities and found a strong audience within the applied mathematics community. Jack Little, an engineer, was exposed to it during a visit Moler made to Stanford University in 1983. Recognizing its commercial potential, he joined with Moler and Steve Bangert. They rewrote MATLAB in C and founded Math Works in 1984 to continue its development. These rewritten libraries were known as JACKPAC. In 2000, MATLAB was rewritten to use a newer set of libraries for matrix manipulation, LAPACK.
2.3 Strengths of MATLAB:
MATLAB is relatively easy to learn.
MATLAB code is optimized to be relatively quick when performing matrix operations.
MATLAB may behave like a calculator or as a programming language.
MATLAB is interpreted, errors are easier to fix.
Although primarily procedural, MATLAB does have some object-oriented elements.
2.4 Other features:
2-D and 3-D graphics functions for visualizing data
Tools for building custom graphical user interfaces
Functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external applications and languages, such as C, C++, FORTRAN, Java, COM, and Microsoft Excel.

2.6 MATLAB and engineering:
MATLAB was first adopted by researchers and practitioners in control engineering, Little's specialty, but quickly spread to many other domains. It is now also used in education, in particular the teaching of linear algebra and numerical analysis, and is popular amongst scientists involved in image processing. However, many researchers mostly from Computer Science background feel that MATLAB should be used only for mathematical analysis necessary in image processing and not for implementation of image processing software. Moreover, MATLAB should not be used to simulate computer architectures, systems software, and computer networks unless while solving some numeric problem.

Introduction:
Simulink is a software add-on to mat lab which is a mathematical tool developed by The Math works, (http://www.mathworks.com) a company based in Natick. Mat lab is powered by extensive numerical analysis capability. Simulink is a tool used to visually program a dynamic system (those governed by Differential equations) and look at results. Any logic circuit, or control system for a dynamic system can be built by using standard building blocks available in Simulink Libraries.
