Simulator demonstration of the interphase power controller technology

The paper reports on a simulator demonstration of the interphase power controller (IPC) technology. The simulator models developed and the testing methodology are described. The main results confirm the basic attributes of the IPC (robust power flow control characteristic, fault current limitation and decoupling of the interconnected networks) and that the IPC can be built from conventional equipment. Random testing performed on the simulator proved to be useful in assessing the maximum stresses on the equipment.
