Abstract
The Loop Power Controller (LPC) is a looping device for distribution systems which are usually operated with a radial configuration. This device can achieve various power quality improvements such as system voltage control when incorporating distributed generation (DG), balancing control of distribution feeder loadings and high speed compensation of voltage sags. The LPC is a promising device to form loop distribution systems without any increase in short-circuit current. In this chapter, a control method for the LPC is presented together with an approximate method for control and simulation and demonstration results of the approximate control. A 6.6 kV overhead distribution system in Japan is used as example for the simulation and demonstration.
