Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently, the global environmental issues such as global warming have become more serious, and have actively stimulated efforts to reduce the environmental impacts. Therefore, the introduction of distributed generation as solar power is increasing. It is concerned that occurs the problem as voltage variation. Smart Grid using information technology is a new power supply system to solve some problems. A reliable power supply is necessary in order to be implement the smart grid.
In this paper, we investigated the power interchange in two small-scale systems using AC power flow controller (UPFC) and DC power flow controller (PFC). The power interchange between two small-scale systems was examined using UPFC and PFC. In two micro-grid during islanding operation, it is confirmed that surplus power of micro-grid was sent to other micro-grid using UPFC and PFC.
