Abstract : Effective reactive power management is critical for maintaining voltage stability, improving power factor, and optimizing the efficiency of power systems. This study explores the application of an Inter Phase Power Controller (IPPC) for enhanced reactive power management in electrical grids. The primary objective is to investigate the capability of the IPPC to control reactive power flow between phases, thereby stabilizing voltage levels and reducing power losses across the system. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of the IPPC as a flexible control mechanism that actively balances reactive power between phases, as opposed to conventional static devices like capacitors or reactors. The IPPC allows dynamic real-time adjustments, improving system reliability and minimizing the need for manual interventions. Additionally, it offers the potential for integration with renewable energy sources, enabling better handling of intermittent generation. The article findings demonstrate that using the IPPC significantly improves power factor correction and reduces voltage fluctuations in scenarios with varying loads. Simulations carried out in MATLAB/Simulink confirmed that IPPC integration leads to a reduction in system losses and enhances overall grid stability.

Keywords : Electrical Power Systems, FACTS Devices, Power Electronics, Reactive Power.
