Keywords:
IPFC, FACTS, Voltage Profile, Voltage Stability, Power Flow ControlAbstract
Voltage profile enhancement is a critical aspect of maintaining stability, reliability, and efficient operation in modern power systems, especially with the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources and dynamic load variations. Among various Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices, the Integrated Power Flow Controller (IPFC) has emerged as a powerful solution for simultaneous control of multiple transmission line parameters, including voltage, active power, and reactive power. This survey paper presents a comprehensive review of voltage profile enhancement techniques using IPFC in modern power systems. The paper discusses the operating principles, configurations, and control strategies of IPFC, highlighting its capability to regulate voltage levels and improve power flow distribution across interconnected transmission lines. Various control approaches, including conventional methods and advanced techniques such as fuzzy logic, artificial intelligence, and optimization algorithms, are analyzed in terms of their effectiveness in enhancing voltage stability. In addition, the role of IPFC in mitigating power quality issues, reducing transmission congestion, and supporting renewable energy integration is examined.
Furthermore, this survey identifies key challenges associated with IPFC implementation, including high installation cost, complex control requirements, and coordination with other FACTS devices. Recent advancements and future research directions, such as smart grid integration and intelligent control systems, are also explored. Overall, the study emphasizes the significance of IPFC as an effective FACTS device for voltage profile enhancement, contributing to improved performance and stability of modern power systems.
