Abstract

See full text

A multi-mode power supply is described for providing power to an impedance injection unit that is operable to inject reactive power into a power transmission line. The impedance injection unit is configured to operate safely in the presence of switching states of the impedance injection unit, and in the presence of disturbances such as surge currents in the power transmission line, by the multi-mode power supply clamping a potential overvoltage to a safe level. The power supply contains analog and digital circuits and can recover automatically from a surge current in the transmission line, or from a condition of zero line current. Power harvesting may be achieved via a line connected current transformer, via an internal current transformer, via a DC link capacitor, or from combinations of these.
