Understanding Interphase Power Controller: A Description

Charles Hubert KOM

Abstract


Interphase Power Controller (IPC) is defined as a Flexible Alternative Current for Transmission System (FACTS) device, that functions as an integrated concept. Its constitution revolves mainly around these following key equipments: phase shifting transformers (PST), inductive reactors, shunt capacitors and circuit breakers. IPC devices are used for non-harmonic operations, such as stable control of power flow and mitigation of fault current. The evolution of this technology is part of the Assisted Phase Shifting Transformer (APST), which increases the transit capacity of transmission lines, the IPC 240 which has an additional property, that of allowing the mitigation of the fault current. Although they have identical functions, the IPC 120 is preferred to the IPC 240 because of the lower values of its reactors. On the other hand, Unified Interphase Power Controller (UIPC) came to raise the limit of the control of flow of power thanks to the presence in its structure of Static Synchronous Series Compensators (SSSC) instead of PST.
