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 4):
A high-voltage power grid system with hierarchical control capability comprising:\n a plurality of impedance injection modules distributed over and coupled to a plurality of high-voltage transmission lines, each impedance injection module having; a controller that senses disturbances on the high-voltage transmission line, to which it is coupled, and reacts by generating and injecting inductive and/or capacitive impedances of appropriate magnitude onto the high-voltage transmission line via an injection transformer coupled to the high-voltage transmission line, the controller providing a sub-cyclic response capability of the respective impedance injection module; and a transceiver for high-speed communication with other impedance-injection modules within a local group of impedance injection modules to enable coordinated response of the other impedance-injection modules within the respective local group of impedance injection modules to disturbances on the high-voltage transmission lines; a group of local centers, each local center within the group of local centers having a high-speed transceiver for high-speed communication with impedance injection modules within a respective local group of impedance injection modules and with other local centers to enable coordinated response of all impedance-injection modules associated with that group of local centers; and each local center further including a communication link to and from a system utility, to receive instructions from the system utility, provide feedback to the system utility, and coordinate activity across the grid when required.
