  • Patent number: 6841976
    Abstract: A multi-line power flow transformer implements power flow control among multiple transmission lines in an n-phase power system. The transformer has an exciter unit with n primary windings. Each primary winding is on a core and receives a transmission voltage of a respective one of the phases of the power system. The transformer also has a series compensating unit for each transmission line. Each series compensating unit has n secondary windings on the core of each primary winding. Each secondary winding has a voltage induced thereon by the corresponding primary winding. For each phase, the secondary windings of the series compensating unit assigned to the phase are coupled in series to sum the induced voltages formed thereon. The summed voltage is a compensating voltage for the phase.

  • Patent number: 6420856
    Abstract: A series-compensating power flow transformer implements power flow control in a transmission line of an n-phase power transmission system, where each phase of the power transmission system has a transmission voltage. The transformer has n primary windings, where each primary winding is on a core and receives the transmission voltage of a respective one of the phases of the power transmission system. The transformer also has n secondary windings on the core of each primary winding for a total of n2 secondary windings. Each secondary winding has a voltage induced thereon by the corresponding primary winding, and one secondary winding from each core is assigned to each phase. For each phase, the secondary windings assigned to the phase are coupled in series for summing the induced voltages formed thereon, where the summed voltage is a compensating voltage for the phase.

  • Patent number: 6396248
    Abstract: A power flow transformer implements power flow control in a transmission line of an n-phase power transmission system, where each phase of the power transmission system has a transmission voltage. The transformer has n secondary windings, where each secondary winding is on a core. The transformer also has n primary windings on the core of each secondary winding for a total of n2 primary windings, where one primary winding from each core is assigned to each phase. For each phase, the primary windings assigned to the phase are coupled in series, and the in-series primary windings receive the transmission voltage of the respective phase of the power transmission system. For each core, each primary winding thereon induces a voltage in the secondary thereon. The induced voltages are summed by the secondary to result in a summed induced voltage. Such summed induced voltage is a compensating voltage for a respective phase.

  • Patent number: 6384581
    Abstract: A limited-angle power flow transformer implements power flow control in a transmission line of an n-phase power transmission system, where each phase of the power transmission system has a transmission voltage. The transformer has n primary windings, where each primary winding is on a core and receives the transmission voltage of a respective one of the phases of the power transmission system. The transformer also has m secondary windings on the core of each primary winding for a total of m*n secondary windings, where m is less than n. Each secondary winding has a voltage induced thereon by the corresponding primary winding. For each phase, m secondary windings are assigned to the phase. Each assigned secondary winding for the phase is from a different core. For all phases, the secondary windings are assigned from the cores in a balanced manner. For each phase, the secondary windings assigned to the phase are coupled in series for summing the induced voltages formed thereon.
