TCSC has been proposed to enhance the voltage stability by changing the reactive power distribution in the power system. Authors have discussed the effect of TCSC on steady state voltage stability and small-signal voltage stability. This paper discusses the TCSC’s enhancement on transient voltage stability. A TCSC model that is suitable for transient voltage stability analysis is proposed. This...

We investigated the source-to-drain capacitance (Csd) due to DIBL effect of silicon nanowire (SNW) MOSFETs. Short-channel SNW devices operating at high drain voltages have the positive value of Csd by DIBL effect. On the other hand, junctionless SNW MOSFETs without source/drain (S/D) PN junctions have negative or zero values by small DIBL effect. By considering the additional source-todrain cap...

This paper describes, in a tutorial manner, TCSC control aspects illustrated through simulation results on a small power system model. The analysis and design of the TCSC controls, to schedule line power and damp system oscillations, are based on modal analysis. and time and frequency response techniques. Transient stability results are included, to validate and refine the TCSC controller desig...

Deregulations and market practices in power industry have brought great challenges to the system planning area. In particular, they introduce a variety of uncertainties to system planning. New techniques are required to cope with such uncertainties. As a promising approach, probabilistic methods are attracting more and more attentions by system planners. In small signal stability analysis, gene...

DC grids are prone to small-signal instabilities due to the presence of tightly controlled loads trying to keep the power consumption constant over range of terminal voltage variations. Th, so-called, constant power load (CPL) represents a classical example of this destabilizing behavior acting as an incremental negative resistance. Real-life DC loads represented by controlled power converters ...

In this paper, a synchronized control strategy of double fed induction generator that can provide reserve capability and primary frequency support for microgrid is firstly developed. The microgrid based small signal stability performance is investigated under multiple operating conditions. The effect of three categories of key controller parameters on dominant eigenvalues is studied by sensitiv...

In this paper, an accurate and simple small signal model of RF MOSFETs accounting for the distributed gate effect, the substrate parasitics and charge conservation is proposed. Meanwhile, a direct and accurate extraction method using linear regression approach for the components of the equivalent circuit of the MOSFET with S-parameters analysis is also proposed. The proposed model and extractio...

We have studied the effects on the gamma-ray flux on Earth by neutralino annihilations in caustic rings of dark matter in the Galactic halo. The caustic ring model by Sikivie has been used where dark matter particles are assumed to possess angular momentum with respect to the Galactic centre. The computer code DarkSUSY was then used to examine the supersymmetric implications on the flux. We con...

Stanford Research Systems phone: (408)744-9040 www.thinkSRS.com Lock-in amplifiers are used to detect and measure very small AC signalsall the way down to a few nanovolts. Accurate measurements may be made even when the small signal is obscured by noise sources many thousands of times larger. Lock-in amplifiers use a technique known as phase-sensitive detection to single out the component of t...
