Abstract
A modular power flow control system is described for optimizing power flow control in a multi-phase power transmission system. Identical impedance injection modules are arranged in an m×n matrix, where m is the number of series-connected modules inserted into each phase (forming a leg of the installed bank of modules), and n is the number of parallel-connected legs per phase. Each impedance injection module in a phase is configurable to collectively insert a pre-determined (controllable) power control waveform into the phase to which it is attached. The modular flow control system is agile with respect to configurability, reconfigurability, maintenance, size, weight, and cost.
