Abstract
A shunt compensating power flow transformer implements power flow control in a transmission line of an n-phase power transmission system, where each phase of the power transmission system has a transmission voltage. The transformer has n primary windings, where each primary winding is on a core and receives the transmission voltage of a respective one of the phases of the power transmission system. The transformer also has n secondary windings on the core of each primary winding for a total of n secondary windings, where each secondary winding has a voltage induced thereon by the corresponding primary winding. One secondary winding from each core is assigned to each phase. For each phase, the secondary windings assigned to the phase are coupled in series for summing the induced voltages formed thereon. The summed voltage is a compensating voltage for the phase, and the compensating voltage is in-phase (0 degrees) or out-of-phase (180 degrees) with the transmission voltage of the phase so as to regulate such transmission voltage without altering the phase of such transmission voltage.
