Abstract :
The grid power flow controller (GPFC) is a new concept in system technology within the FACTS family of devices that provides an economic solution for the purpose of power transmission between two or more adjacent AC systems. The AC systems can be either synchronous or nonsynchronous. The most proper power rating is between 10 MW and 300 MW, although higher ratings are also achievable.
