Abstract :
A unified Modular Transformer Converter (MTC) system is proposed that is transportable and can be installed in existing transmission substations to provide power flow control, back-up, and fault current limiter functions. The multifunctional characteristic of the proposed system is obtained by inserting the device across the substation transformer. The MTC system can be realized with standard drive converters and regular transformers through advanced angle control. The proposed controller structure enables the line frequency switching operation of the converter system while maintaining a superior harmonic spectrum.
