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 7):
A high-voltage power grid having a distributed sensing and control ability with hierarchical supervision of the power grid comprising:\n a plurality of impedance-injection modules distributed over and coupled to a plurality of high-voltage transmission lines of the high-voltage power grid, each impedance injection module having a capability to sense disturbances and respond to correct the sensed disturbances on the respective transmission lines of the power grid to which it is coupled; each impedance injection module also having a transceiver for high-speed communication with other impedance-injection modules within a local group of impedance injection modules to enable coordinated high-speed response to disturbances on the high-voltage transmission line by the local group of impedance injection modules; a group of local centers, each local center comprising the local group of communicably interconnected impedance injection modules, each local center also having a high-speed transceiver for high-speed communication with the local group of impedance injection modules, and for high speed communication with other local neighboring centers to enable coordinated response of all impedance-injection modules associated with that group of local centers; each local center also having a communication link to and from a system utility; wherein the distributed control with hierarchical supervision of the high-voltage power grid provides for steady-state power-flow control, line-current balancing, transient and small-signal stability, power-oscillation damping (POD), and sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) damping.
