        Recent efforts to increase the power transmission capacity and increase the level of network stability have increased the use of Flexible AC Transmission Systems elements in the power system. The protective system, which is one of the most important parts of the power system's operation, is seriously affected by these devices, so their study is considered necessary. Among protection relays, the protection of the distances due to high speed, proper operation in different network conditions are used as the main protection of transmission lines. Consequently, it is inevitable that the lines compensated by flexible AC systems are protected by long-range relays. In this paper, the Distributed Power Flow Controller has been investigated and simulated, and then the effect of these devices on the measured impedance and the characteristic of the disturbance relay is shown. It is also shown in this paper that in addition to the effects of the relay seen on the relay due to changes in the power system, the type of control system and the adjustment of the parameters of these devices will have different effects on the impedance seen by the relay. To investigate the effect of controller distributed power distribution on the protection of the energy transmission distances, as well as the effect of the impedance seen on the relay due to the presence and type of control system that the distributed power controller works with, it uses the PSCAD / EMTDC software for the model These compensator have been used.

        This paper introduces an innovative and creative systematic thinking method based on TRIZ thinking technique which can improve the performance of unified power flow controllers (UPFC). This new device is called distributed power flow controller (DPFC). The difference between UPFC and DPFC lies in exchanging three-phase series converter with single-phase converters that are distributed along the transmission line. This is based on one of the 40 principles of TRIZ innovative thinking technique, called segmentation. The basic changes, occurring in the DPFC, compared to UPFC are eliminating common DC-link between the series and shunt converters, and replacing three-phase series converters with single-phase series converter. These changes, lead to more economic and more reliable system. Similar to UPFC, the DPFC adjusts line impedance, transmission angle and bus voltage simultaneously. The DPFC design procedure based on differences with UPFC is described and DPFC advantages in mitigation of transmission line voltage sag and fluctuation are shown; while in some cases, simulation results of using UPFCs, DSTATCOM, TCSC and SVC indicate voltage sags. Finally, this paper introduceس one innovatively DPFC called fuzzy self-organized DPFC (FSO-DPFC) to solve the most important problem of DPFC. DPFC series converter with and without FSO controller (FSO-DPFC) are simulated. The simulation results of using FSO-DPFC, compared to traditional DPFC, shows more system ability to mitigate disturbances in the central controller signals. Manuscript profile
