Abstract

This paper presents an approach to evaluate the benefits of an autonomous wide area control as coordination method for a fast power flow controlling device. This device, called dynamic power flow controller (DPFC), is introduced together with its control scheme and the coordination method. Simulations are performed to determine the transfer capability that can be reached by using the DPFC compared to an usual phase shifting transformer at different congestions corridors.
