Current power distribution control strategies for multiple sub-units of Distributed Power Flow Controllers (DPFC) primarily employ either equal distribution or capacity ratio methods. While these approaches meet basic functional requirements in certain scenarios, significant challenges persistparticularly in situations with low line regulation requirements-where device utilization efficiency remains suboptimal and power losses remain considerable. To address these challenges, this study thoroughly analyzes device output characteristics and sub-unit loss mechanisms based on a novel DPFC topology. By focusing on two core dimensions-device output voltage and capacity utilization-and comprehensively considering total losses of the novel DPFC device, sub-unit utilization rates, and relevant constraints, this research proposes an innovative coordinated output control strategy for multiple DPFC units.
