Power transistor-assisted Sen transformer: a novel approach to power flow control

The importance of flexible power flow control in electric power transmission networks is increasing owing to many factors that have arisen. Sen Transformer (ST) is one of the attractive power flow controllers. It has a wide control range, independent active and reactive power flow control capability...
