  This article investigates the power quality enhancement in power system using one of the most famous series converter based FACTS controller like IPFC (Interline Power Flow Controller) in Power Injection Model (PIM). The parameters of PIM are derived with help of the Newton-Raphson power flow algorithm. In general, a sample test power system without FACTs devices has generated more reactive power, decreased real power, more harmonics, small power factor and poor dynamic performance under line and load variations. In order to improve the real power, compensating the reactive power, proficient power factor and excellent load voltage regulation in the sample test power system, an IPFC is designed. The D-Q technique is utilized here to derive the reference current of the converter and its D.C link capacitor voltage is regulated. Also, the reference voltage of the inverter is arrived by park transformation technique and its load voltage is controlled. Here, a sample 230 KV test power system is taken for study. Further as the conventional PI controllers are designed at one nominal operating point they are not competent to respond satisfactorily in dynamic operating conditions. This can be circumvented by a Fuzzy and Neural network based IPFC and its detailed Simulink model is developed using MATLAB and the overall performance analysis is carried out under different operating state of affairs.

Introduction</title><p>In current scenario, the transmission and distribution networks are densely populated due to the surplus demand of global energy consumption. Constructing a new transmission network becomes a challenging one, because of the environmental impacts related with law and legislative cries. Also, the cost effective technical challenges are presented in deregulation of the power network. In general, the distance between generating units and load centers are far away. For that reasons losses are huge. So as to minimize the power losses and also to ensure high- quality power supply up to the end user, concern must be taken. To rectify such troubles, embedding FACTS controllers in power system is play a vital role and may offer proficient control with safe working conditions. Even though FACTS technology (based on thyristor operation) is invented in 1986 by N.G. Hingorani in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) USA, and tremendous improvement in high power electronics like IGBT and GTO is achieved, the converter based FACTS technology come to picture after one decade. Inter line power flow controller (IPFC) was proposed by Gyugi in 1998 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref1">1</xref>] and its specialty is not only its multi functionality but also its controllability of multi transmission lines in a substation. Controlling the converter operation and hence real power flow in specific corridor and reactive power compensation without huge AC capacitor bank and bulk reactor is possible.</p><p>The controllable converter output voltage is injected into the transmission lines using properly designed series transformer. This is most fortune to emulate capacitive/inductive effect in the transmission lines. Hence only controlling the converter parameters, power flow control in the system is obtained. In the case of deregulation energy market, where transmission lines are utilized up to its thermal limits, this innovative idea is highly appreciable. IPFC may consist of m number of inverters connected in different transmission lines using separate m number of series transformers and share a common DC source. In other words it consists of more than one SSSC with common DC link [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref2">2</xref>] . In a typical transmission system with the exchange of reactive power between the series converter and the network, control the flow of active power through the transmission line is achieved [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref3">3</xref>] . In general the stability limit is defined as the maximum power which can flow through a point in the system without causing loss of stability. After a small slow disturbance a system may regain and maintain its operating condition is known as steady state stability and the same for large and sudden disturbance it is known as transient state stability. The latter one is all ways greater than the previous one [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref4">4</xref>] . Another important stability is dynamic stability and during its study a large disturbance like short circuit/loss of generation/loss of load is analyses for long period of time like 4 - 10 seconds.</p><p>Especially, when large rating generators are connected to a long transmission lines, due to its large steady state synchronous reactance, poor load-voltage characteristics may occur and leads to significant drop in synchronizing torque which promote to transient stability related problems. Moreover there is a high degree of uncertainty present in the power system behavior, after and before a fault occurrence [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref5">5</xref>] . Hongesombut et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref6">6</xref>] applied phase plane fuzzy logic to control the frequency robustly and to improve the power system stability due to the uncertainty of power produced from the installed wind turbine in the system. In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref7">7</xref>] a hybrid algorithm is formed by the contribution of genetic algorithm (GA) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA) for optimal setting of IPFC. Amir Ghorbani et al. first time investigate the effect of the GIPFC on the measured impedance by loss of excitation (LOE) relay of synchronous generation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref8">8</xref>] . A new concept of SIPFC is in adopted version of IPFC which eliminates the common dc link is presented in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref9">9</xref>] . In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref10">10</xref>] security constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problem is solved using ABC algorithm incorporating IPFC. The injection model for congestion management and total active power failure minimization in electric power system has been developed [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref11">11</xref>] . Mustafa et al using intelligent techniques for the selection of parameters of IPFC as an optimization problem and the effectiveness of the IPFC in diminishing transmission power losses is demonstrated [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref12">12</xref>] .</p><p>In this paper ATC enhancement of test power system with IPFC is studied with MATLAB software. The reviewed power injection model (PIM) of IPFC is considered for steady state analysis. The paper is organized, in Section 1; the introduction is given in terms of the necessity of FACTS controllers and need of IPFC. Section 2 summarizes the basic concepts, operating principle followed by problem formulation in Section 3. The state space modeling of IPFC is given in Section 4. A standard five bus system is considered as test system for performance analysis. The need of the Fuzzy based controller, fuzzy inference system and its rules are given in Section 5. The neural network based controller for slave converter of IPFC is described in Section 6. Eventually in Section 7 the simulation results with discussion and important conclusions drawn from the simulation studies are given.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Working Principle of IPFC</title><p>An elementary IPFC scheme consists of two back-to-back DC-to-AC converters; each compensating a transmission line by series voltage injection is shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>. The reactive power control can be totally independent in each converter whereas the real power flowing into or out of each converter has to be coordinated in such a way that the DC link voltage is kept constant also the overall surplus power from the under-utilized lines can be used by other over loaded lines for real power compensation. The DC to AC converter is basically voltage source converter and can inject a controllable voltage into the transmission line irrespective of the transmission line current. Hence the effective impedance of the transmission line is changed as either inductive or capacitive in nature that is reactive series compensation is obtained [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref13">13</xref>] .</p><p>In general the transmission lines are inductive in nature as its resistance is very small compared to its inductive reactance. Hence <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x7.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> and<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x8.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>.

Consider Equation (1) and assume the series converter inject a controllable voltage in the transmission line in such a way to emulate capacitance effect. Hence the net effective reactance of the line is reduced and power transmission capacity is increased.</p><disp-formula id="scirp.69297-formula7"><label>(2)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x10.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>It is clear that for the same values of V and δ the transmittable real power P<sub>s</sub><sub>3</sub> is higher than the P<sub>s</sub><sub>2</sub>.

Problem Formation</title><p>The basic building block of IPFC is series connected voltage source converter (VSC). In the case of the series connected VSC, the current flowing through the transmission line has an impact on the dc circuit by means of average switching functions. Since under the steady sate condition, the converter at the AC terminals can exchange only reactive power with the system, when neglecting losses the series injected voltage always has to be perpendicular to the current flowing through the transmission line. But at wide transmission angles or large line current even a small displacement from the balance position can cause major displacement from the balance position and can cause major changes in the voltage across the dc condenser. This fact has to be taken into consideration when deriving a control algorithm and selecting the size of condenser. The equivalent circuit model of IPFC in simplified form is shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>. In case of shunt connected converter in STATCOM there is almost linear dependence between the output voltage amplitude of the shunt VSC and the reactive current component. Also the linearity is maintained between the phase angle and active current component flowing between the shunt compensator and the network [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref14">14</xref>] . But in the case of series connected voltage source converter this relationship is not clearly evident. For the given transmission angle it is evident from the presented steady state characteristics that the active component of the series current primarily and almost depends on the average switching function in the direction.</p><p>Another important constrain is the active power invariance of IPFC. That is the sum of real power exchange between IPFC and System is zero with loss less converter valves and no independent energy storage. In general by controlling the injection voltage magnitude and phase angle the power flow control in the transmission line is achieved. The injection of a controlled voltage from converter<sub>1</sub> results in exchange of active and reactive power between Convertyer<sub>1</sub> and line<sub>1</sub>. The active power component P<sub>sc</sub><sub>1</sub> imposes a demand to the DC terminals. But converter<sub>2</sub> is forced by the active power invariance constraint. Hence unlike converter<sub>1</sub> the operation of converter<sub>2</sub> has its freedom degrees reduced; its series voltage V<sub>2pq</sub> can compensate only partially to its own line and this imposes a restriction mainly on its power flow. Also the converter<sub>2</sub> has another task of regenerating the DC link voltage. So the P<sub>sc</sub><sub>2</sub> component of converter<sub>2</sub> is predefined. Under this condition the primary system will have priority over the secondary system in achieving its set point requirements. Hence a decoupling algorithm is used to control the IPFC operation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref15">15</xref>] . In this work convert<sub>1</sub> is meant for both real and reactive power flow control. For this a fuzzy based controller is designed because it can handle nonlinearity more robust than conventional nonlinear controllers. Converter<sub>2</sub> is meant for reactive power compensation and to maintain DC link voltage constant. A Neural network based controller is designed to meet out the converter<sub>2</sub> controlling operation. For this a multi-layer feed-forward neural network based controller with back propagation learning process is used [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref16">16</xref>] .</p><fig id="fig2"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref></label><caption><title> Equivalent circuit model of IPFC</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x13.png"/></fig></sec><sec id="s4"><title>4. State Space Modeling of IPFC</title><p>The outputs of two converters are coupled to the transmission lines by using two different series transformer. The injected voltage vector is controllable irrespective of the transmission line current. Hence it can stimulate effective impedance of the transmission lines and power flow control is obtained even power from underutilized lines to heavily loaded lines. The test system considers here is a single machine infinite bus system. In practical the power system is highly interconnected with large number of synchronous generators and huge number of loads. For easy analyzing purpose the power system may be grouped as power exporting area and power importing area. The exporting area simply represented by a single equivalent generator. Similarly the power importing area is represented by an equivalent synchronous motor. Hence a multi machine power system model reduced into two machine problem. It can further reduce to single machine connected to an infinite bus-a constant voltage constant frequency system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref17">17</xref>] .

In case of unbalanced condition as components in d and q axis components make it difficult to track phase angle. In this paper a DSRF control which is works well even for unbalanced condition is presented. It is a combination of two SRF-PLLs which can detect the positive and negative sequence components of voltage vector separately [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref19">19</xref>] . The D-Q control for Power Flow control mode of IPFC is shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>. At the receiving end the real and reactive power is sensed and the d and q component of the current vector is calculated. The actual and reference current vectors are compared and the corresponding error signals are processed by the PI controllers. The feed forward cross coupling reduced errors due to unbalanced components in the current vectors. Next the required direct and quadrature component of the series voltage is determined and injected in to the transmission line. The overall simulation circuit of IPFC with test power system is developed.

Fuzzy Control Scheme for Master Converter of IPFC</title><p>Fuzzy logic is introduced by LotfiZadeh in 1965 to process imprecise data and the basic concept is attempted to mimic human control logic. The mathematical modeling of FACTS controller is complex but in case of fuzzy logic controller there is no need of accurate mathematical model of the system going to be controlled and can work with imprecise inputs. Practically it doesn’t need fast processors and it needs less data storage in the form of membership functions and rules than conventional look up table for nonlinear controllers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref20">20</xref>] . Power converters are inherently nonlinear. The causes of nonlinearity in the power converters include a variable structure within a single switching period, saturating inductances, voltage clamping etc. Even the FACTS controllers are highly accurate and fast dynamic in nature, they interact with other static controllers always accompanied with non-linearity and uncertainties. For the sake of power quality it is forced to defeat the stability. The Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) has many advantages than the conventional PI controllers. It can handle nonlinearity and more robust than conventional nonlinear controllers. It is a controller based on the concepts of fuzzy sets, linguistic variables and approximate reasoning to evaluate rules. The set of rules are represents the control decision mechanisms required to adjust the effect of certain cases. The internal structure of FLC is shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>. FLC are range to range and range to point controllers and the input of FLC is membership function and the output also depends on membership function.</p><p>In conventional controller we have control gain or control loss, which are combination of numerical values. In FLC instead of fixed gain or loss, the updated variables are used in terms of rules and they are linguistic in nature [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref11">11</xref>] . Such a typical rule can be written as follows:</p><p>IF E is A<sub>i </sub>and CE is B<sub>i</sub> then output is C<sub>i</sub> (16)</p><p>where, A<sub>i</sub>, B<sub>i</sub> and C<sub>i</sub> are the labels of linguistic variables of Error (E), Change of Error (CE) and output respectively. E, CE and output represent degree of membership. The internal structure FIS Fuzzy editor with four inputs and two outputs are shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref>. A basic architecture of FLC contains fuzzification, inference mechanism, fuzzy rule base, and defuzzification. Fuzzification converts binary data into fuzzy data it has two processes that is derive the membership function for input and output variables. Defuzzification process is to derive the desired crisp output value by combining the membership functions with fuzzy rules. It converts fuzzy o/p values to control signals. It derived by two category, one is off line defuzzification, here all input and output membership functions are based on actual experience, i.e., specified application. Online method is real time controllability has higher control accuracy. Fuzzy set allows objects or members to represent a smooth boundary whereas classical represent sharp boundary and the membership function take the value in the interval 0 and 1. It is derived by different methods like triangular waveform, trapezoidal, sigmoidal, guassian, bell etc. In this study the min inference rule and centroid defuzzzification technique have been used [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.69297-ref13">13</xref>] .</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>6.

In this paper Back Propagation (BP) training algorithm is used.</p><p>The slave converter in IPFC is used to maintain the DC link voltage constant and provide reactive power compensation for line where it is connected. The NN based controller is used to generate control signal for converter<sub>2</sub> and hence required reactive power compensation is obtained. The stopping condition of training algorithm is either more number of iteration or up to no variation in the weights.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>7. Simulation Results and Discussion</title><p>In this section, the circuit model of IPFC with four bus test system is presented. The open loop IPFC circuit model has been developed. Two three phase converters designed and connected back to back each other and their controllers were built in MATLAB/Simulink. The AC side controlled voltage is fed to the transmission lines by using two different series transformer. It is clear that by injecting proper series voltage the impedance of the transmission line is changed either inductive or capacitive effect as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>1. The DC link voltage, AC side voltage and current waveforms are shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig7">Figure 7</xref>. The real and reactive power at receiving end is measured. Also at steady sate, the IPFC enhance the real power by reactive power compensation as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig8">Figure 8</xref>. The IPFC with PI controllers are working well in the limited variation but at higher degree of variation it is failed to hold the stability of the system. To study the performance of the test system with IPFC a voltage fluctuation both voltage swell and sag are externally created and the corresponding power flow at four bus are measured. Up to 5% of voltage variation the series voltage compensation is in effective and maintained constant voltage. But at the same time the THD value at load <sub>2</sub> is worse than the uncompensated line at load<sub>1</sub>, which can be improved by placing a LC filter circuit. The total harmonic distortion is 12.5%, which is greater than IEEE standard value hence a filter is designed to reduce the harmonics and therefore the heating in the injecting transformer is reduced. Further improvement in THD is obtained by introducing a LC filter at the load side as in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig9">Figure 9</xref>. The impedance response of IPFC both in capacitive and inductive mode is shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>0.</p><p>Also, the transmission line where master converter is connected has upper hand than the other one in holding settling point. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>1 and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>2 show this effect clearly with load variation. This is due to the presence of common interlinking capacitor. The fault clearance time is improved due to the presence of IPFC as depicted in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>3. The peak overshoot of the real and reactive power is comparatively reduced as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>4. The current through the capacitor and voltage across it is shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>5. The overall power flow during fluation in the supply side with the presence of IPFC is depicted in bar chart as <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>6. At 20% change of supply voltage in the positive direction is the worst case compared to the reverse direction that is −20% change of supply voltage.</p><fig id="fig7"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig7">Figure 7</xref></label><caption><title> AC, DC voltage and current of VSC</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x30.png"/></fig><fig id="fig8"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig8">Figure 8</xref></label><caption><title> Real and reactive powers</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x31.png"/></fig><fig-group id="fig9"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig9">Figure 9</xref></label><caption><title> THD of VSC.</title></caption><fig id ="fig9_1"><label></label><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x32.png"/></fig><fig id ="fig9_2"><label></label><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x33.png"/></fig></fig-group><fig-group id="fig10"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>0</label><caption><title> Frequency response of IPFC.</title></caption><fig id ="fig10_1"><label></label><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x35.png"/></fig><fig id ="fig10_2"><label></label><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x34.png"/></fig></fig-group><fig id="fig11"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>1</label><caption><title> P &amp; Q under load variation</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x36.png"/></fig><fig id="fig12"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>2</label><caption><title> P &amp; Q under load variation</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x37.png"/></fig><fig id="fig13"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>3</label><caption><title> Line voltage during Fault condition</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x38.png"/></fig><fig id="fig14"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>4</label><caption><title> Q-response during Fault condition</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/59-7600628x39.png"/></fig></sec><sec id="s8"><title>8.

The ANN based converter limited operation is meant for reactive power compensation and to maintain constant DC link voltage. The performance of entire system with IPFC is studied and the simulation results show that using FLC and ANN enhanced the system performance in steady state region and limited in transient state region. In future, the training algorithm is to be modified for ANN and number of rules increased in FLC to meet out the set-back in transient state performance.</p></sec><sec id="s9"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>A.
