A distribution transformer power flow controller apparatus includes at least one external source terminal configured to be coupled to a distribution transformer, at least one external load terminal configured to be coupled to a load, and a converter circuit configured to be coupled between the at least one external source terminal and the at least one external load terminal to provide series connection of the converter circuit with the load and to control a power transfer of the distribution transformer. The converter circuit may be configured to control a reactive power transfer of the distribution transformer. The converter circuit may also be configured to control a reactive power transfer and a real power transfer. In some embodiments, the converter circuit may be configured to be coupled to at least one energy storage capacitor, at least one battery and/or at least one power generation device.
