    Abstract: Transmission lines operating in steady state are prone to several challenges such as; poor steady-state power flow control, active and reactive power loss and voltage limit violations. These challenges can be solved either by the use of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) controllers such as Interline Power Flow Controller (IPF... Show More

    Abstract: Power converters have been widely employed in power systems to enhance the quality and magnitude of the power drawn from renewable energy sources. An LCL filter for connection of an inverter to the grid is often used to mitigate the harmonics generated by the inverter. Based on different design methodologies, optimal parameters of LCL filters tend ... Show More
