Dynamic security assessment (DSA) or transient security assessment (TSA) determines a system’s ability to survive contingencies with a safety factor (margin). To ensure that a system remains dynamically secure, preventive or corrective remedial actions are designed. Preventive actions are applied in the pre-contingency system so that after any credible contingency the system remains secure. Exa...

In this paper, a two-surfaces sliding mode controller (TSSMC) is proposed for the voltage tracking control of a two input DC-DC converter in application of electric vehicles (EVs). The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is used for tuning TSSMC parameters. The proposed controller significantly improves the transient response and disturbance rejection of the two input converters while p...

This paper presents the transient stability assessment of TCPST, UPFC and TCSC. The control laws based on few assumptions were applied and have been found to be effective for power oscillation damping for large and small signals. The bang-bang control strategy is used for IPFC in which the injected voltage magnitudes were kept constant and only one of voltage angles was varied. The results of t...

In this study, a new method for designing the damping controller was proposed to improve the transient power system stability in a single machine network connected to an infinite bus. The STATCOM controller problem in a wide area of the system function was considered as an optimization problem with multi-purpose objective function. Also, the Honey Bee Mating Optimization Algorithm was used to d...

A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is generally used to regulate voltage and improve transient stability in transmission and distribution networks. This is achieved by controlling reactive power exchange between STATCOM and the grid. Unbalanced sags are the most common type of voltage sags in distribution networks. A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is generally used to maintain...
