thyristor-controlled series compensator (tcsc) is one of the electric power lines series compensators. tcsc increases transmission system capacity and improves system dynamic and voltage stability. several controllers have been proposed, but most of them generally improve one of tcsc capabilities. in this paper a tcsc robust controller is designed based on nonlinear quantitative feedback theory...

The North American power grid is a giant network of more than 15,000 generators in 10,000 power plants, and hundreds of thousands of miles of transmission lines. Analysts estimate it to be worth over $800 billion. In 2000, the transmission and distribution infrastructure was valued at $358 billion. Geographically, the power grid forms a network of over 1 million kilometres of high voltage lines...

In railway power supply systems using AC frequencies lower than the public grids of 50/60 Hz, high voltage AC overhead transmission lines in railway grid frequency are used as one measure of strengthening the systems. An increased resistance to overhead high voltage AC transmission lines, may motivate cables for future railway power systems. With the frequency of 50/60 Hz, reactive power produc...

voltage stability issues are growing challenges in many modern power systems. this paper proposes optimizing the size and location of static var compensator (svc) devices using a fuzzy weighted seeker optimization algorithm (fwsoa), as an effective solution to overcome such issues. although the primary purpose of svc is bus voltage regulation, it can also be useful for voltage stability enhance...
