Control Strategy of a Rotating Power Flow Controller Based on an Improved Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

As the proportion of renewable energy sources integrated into the power grid increases, it imposes significant volatility on the grid, leading to uneven load distribution across certain transmission lines. Rotating Power Flow Controllers (RPFCs) based on Rotating Phase-Shifting Transformers (RPSTs)...

description As the proportion of renewable energy sources integrated into the power grid increases, it imposes significant volatility on the grid, leading to uneven load distribution across certain transmission lines. Rotating Power Flow Controllers (RPFCs) based on Rotating Phase-Shifting Transformers (RPSTs) offer a viable solution to such issues in lines rated at 10 kV and below. This paper begins with a brief introduction to RPFCs, followed by the modeling of their topology for a single-circuit line and the derivation of active and reactive power flow formulas. Notably, this paper introduces intelligent optimization algorithms to this field for the first time, employing an improved hybrid particle swarm optimization (HPSO) algorithm to control the active power while keeping the reactive power constant and subsequently adjusting the reactive power while maintaining the active power steady, thereby achieving power regulation. Using Matlab/Simulink simulations, this strategy was compared with adaptive adjustment strategies, verifying that it exhibits reduced power fluctuations and overshoots during the adjustment process, thus confirming the effectiveness of the adjustment scheme. By leveraging this algorithm in conjunction with simulations, a Q-P operating range diagram for transmission lines was plotted, determining the adjustable range of actual power.
