FACTS technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. STATCOM is oneof the most important FACTS devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. Since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper STATCOM is used...

Unlike the existing views that was introduced the existence of delay caused by the transmission of wide area measurement system data (WAMS) into the controllers input of the power oscilation damping (POD) by communication networks as a reason for poor performance of the POD controllers. This paper shows that the presence of time delay in the feedback loop may improve the performance of a POD co...

Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) occur in power systems because of lack of the damping torque in order to dominance to power system disturbances as an example of change in mechanical input power. In the recent past Power System Stabilizer (PSS) was used to damp LFO. FACTs devices, such as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), can control power flow, reduce sub-synchronous resonance and increase...

This paper presents a novel strategy for output feedback damping controller design of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) using chaotic optimization algorithm (COA). The design of output feedback controller is formulated as an optimization problem according to the eigenvalue based multiobjective function which is solved by a COA based on Lozi map. Since chaotic mapping enjoys certainty...

Damping of low frequency electromechanical oscillations is very important for a safe system operation. The fast acting, of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) which is capable of improving both steady state and dynamic performance permits newer approaches to system stabilization. This paper presents a novel methodology for tuning STATCOM based damping controller in order to enhance the d...

This paper presents a new methodology for a weak grid is to make possible the addition of voltage source converters more effective. The controller is mainly composed of two parts, namely linear power damping and synchronizing controller and a supplementary nonlinear controller. The first part synchronizes a voltage source converter (VSC) to the grid by supplying damping and synchronizing power ...

Wide-area control (WAC) has been shown to be an effective tool for damping low-frequency oscillations in power systems. In the current state of art, WAC is challenged by two main factors namely, scalability of design and complexity of implementation. In this paper we present a control design called control inversion that bypasses both of these challenges using the idea of clustering. The basic ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate a novel approach for output feedback damping controller design of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in order to enhance the damping of power system low frequency oscillations (LFO). The design of output feedback controller is considered as an optimization problem according to the time domain-based objective function solved by a honey bee mating...

Abstract: Artificial neural network (ANN) control of static compensator (STATCOM) to improve the damping of power systems is presented. The proposed control strategy is applied on a STATCOM attached to a single machine-infinite bus (SMIB) and a multi-machine power systems that include a superconducting generator (SCG). The proposed control method, ANN-STATCOM is designed based on proportional i...
