Abstract |
|
This paper presents a new method for achieving load voltage regulation and line loss minimization in the loop distribution systems, simultaneously. First, the line loss minimum conditions in the loop distribution systems are presented. Then, load voltage regulation is achieved by using shunt compensation. To achieve these two objectives simultaneously, the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is used. The UPFC shunt converter is used as a shunt compensator to regulate the load voltage, and the UPFC series converter is used to control the power flow to achieve line loss minimization. The proposed control schemes of UPFC shunt and series converter are also investigated. The effectiveness of the proposed control schemes has been verified experimentally using laboratory prototype in a 200V, 6kVA system. |
