Abstract:
Distributed static synchronous series compensators (DSSSCs) which may also be designated tower routers capable of injecting series inductive or capacitive impedances to enable distributed power-flow control. When a large number of these (a fleet of) DSSSCs are distributed over the grid for power-flow control, it is necessary to ensure that coordinated communication and control capabilities are also established, enabling fast reaction to changes that can exist across the grid. A system architecture and method for enabling localized high-speed low-latency intelligent control with communications between subsections (local network) of the grid along with communication to the central Grid operations center at the utility for supervisory control is disclosed herein. The architecture provides sub-cyclic (< 1/60 of a second) response capability, using the local DSSSCs with high-speed communication at the local network level to power-system disturbances, such as power-oscillation damping (POD), sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) etc.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of responding to disturbances on a high-voltage transmission line of a high-voltage power grid comprising:\n providing a plurality of distributed impedance injection modules each coupled to a high-voltage transmission line, distributed over a plurality of high-voltage transmission lines of a high-voltage power grid; sensing by a controller of the impedance injection module disturbances on the high-voltage transmission line of the high-voltage power grid; generating by the impedance injection module inductive and/or capacitive impedances of appropriate magnitude in response to the sensed disturbances; injecting onto the high-voltage transmission line the generated inductive and/or capacitive impedances via an injection transformer coupled to one of the high-voltage transmission lines; and communicating at high-speed with other impedance-injection modules and a group local center, forming a local response group of impedance injection modules, the information of the sensed disturbance to enable coordinated response of the other impedance-injection modules within the respective local group of impedance-injection modules to the sensed disturbance on the high-voltage transmission line; wherein the high-speed communication capability enabling coordinated sub-cyclic individual and group response by the distributed impedance injection modules to disturbances sensed locally.
