Extending Operational Zone of Rotary Power Flow Controller by Controlling Tap-changers of Transformers
Authors
Abstract:
This paper proposes a method for extending the ability of rotary power flow controller (RPFC) using tap-changer of the RPFC’s transformers. A detailed model of the device is presented to analyze the effects of the tap changer operation on the performance of the RPFC. To evaluate the results, the RPFC model is simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC software. Dynamic operation of the RPFC on a 400 kV transmission line is studied. Based on the results, using tap-changer of transformers can extend the RPFC ability to control the active power of the transmission line about 25%.

Reverse Power Flow Capability of Tap-changers
INTRODUCTION SWITCHING SEQUENCE A single resistor on-load tap changer comprising fixed contacts F1 and F2, transitional arcing contact T, main arcing contact M and bridging resistor R is shown in Fig. 1. A command initiates the switching operation from normal running position 1 to position 2, such that contact T starts to move left towards contact F2 (Fig. 1a). As T approaches F2 a recovery v...

Tap changing operations of multiple transformers at a substation is a complex problem due to issues in controlling the parallel operations of the transformers involved, differences in manufacturer’s design and inaccuracy of the measures. In earlier work Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based tap changer controller has been developed to overcome these difficulties and improved results have been s...
full textThermal model of oil power transformers with a tap changer
The paper presents a new method for on-line temperature calculation taking into account change in the tap changer position. The method introduces accurate calculation of the losses, depending on the current, average temperature of the winding, and tap changer position (it affects both Joules (DC) losses and stray losses). The thermal model itself is the common three-body model (for a transforme...
full textFuzzy Logic Controller to Improve the Coordination of Cascaded Tap Changers
The transformers which connect the different voltage levels in transmission and distribution systems are supplied with on-load tap changing mechanism. The on-load tap changer maintains the voltage amplitude within the predefined limits at the so called regulation bus. In a radial feeder, the on-load tap changers are cascaded. Poor coordination between cascaded tap changers causes improper volta...
