To use distribution networks effectively and to smooth introduction of the distributed generations, we proposed the loop or mesh structure for the distribution systems using loop power flow controller (LPC) at the opened switch which can connect the adjoining feeder. LPC is able to take optimal control for distribution systems in the points of reducing voltage rise, voltage fluctuation and loss minimum power flow control, and so on, with acquisition of state of distribution systems. Adapting to the area that cannot use communication system, from the points of view at the power quality for the transition phenomena, the distributed control using local voltage information is required for the LPC control. The purposes of this paper to show power flow and reactive power control for LPC and to propose a determination method of control coefficients using optimal operation pattern and local voltage information of LPC. The distributed control using these control coefficients was verified by 6.6kV 100kVA BTB (back to back) type LPC and distribution system testing facility in CRIEPI.
