AN INDUCTION REGULATOR FOR POWER FLOW CONTROL IN AN AC TRANSMISSION NETWORK AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING SUCH NETWORK

摘要

A device for controlling the voltage and the phase angle of a polyphase electric transmission network (1) comprising an induction regulator (5) that is connected between the primary side (la) and the secondary side (lb) of the transmission network. A gap (14) is provided with a magnetic layer (17) which exhibits a relative permeability (µr) that is controllable, wherein the magnitude (amplitude) of the secondary voltage vector DE is also adapted to be controlled by controlling the permeability of the magnetic layer (17). The magnetic layer (17) may consist of a magnetic fluid or a solid material.
