Abstract
A power flow control system and method relate to power flow control for faults on power transmission lines. An inverter has power switching devices and a capacitor. A power-safe circuit holds the power switching devices inactive during an initial fault current of the power transmission line, until a power supply for operating the inverter reaches a threshold.
