Congestion in the transmission lines is one of the technical problems that appear particularly in the deregulated environment. The voltage stability issue gets more important because of heavy loading in this environment. The main factor causing instability is the inability of the power system to meet the demand for reactive power. This paper presents a new approach for alleviation congestion re...

Reactive power has become a vital resource in modern electricity networks due to increased penetration of distributed generation. This paper examines the extended reactive power capability of DFIGs to improve network stability and capability to manage network voltage profile during transient faults and dynamic operating conditions. A coordinated reactive power controller is designed by consider...

This paper presents a control strategy for fuel cell/energy storage power generation system during voltage sag conditions. The hybrid DC power sources are connected to grid using power electronic converters include DC-DC converter and grid connected voltage source inverter. The power from hybrid power sources is controlled during voltage sag by designing of control strategy for DC-DC converter....

Introducing distributed generation into a power system can lead to numerous benefits including technical, economic, environmental, etc. To attain these benefits, distributed generators with proper rating should be installed at suitable locations. Given the similar effects of distributed generators and capacitor banks on operation indices of a distribution system, simultaneous assignment of best...

Improving transient voltage stability is one of the most important issues that must be provided by doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms (WFs) according to the grid code requirement. This paper proposes adjusted DC-link chopper based passive voltage compensator and modified transient voltage controller (MTVC) based active voltage compensator for improving transient voltage stab...

In this paper, we propose a distributed voltage control in power distribution networks through reactive power compensation. The proposed control can (i) operate in a distributed fashion where each bus makes its decision based on local voltage measurements and communication with neighbors, (ii) always satisfy the reactive power capacity constraint, (iii) stabilize the voltage magnitude in an acc...

With the incremental introduction of solar photovoltaic (PV) generators into existing power systems, and their fast-growing share in the gross electricity generation, system voltage stability has become a critical issue. One of the major concerns is voltage fluctuation, due to large and random penetration of solar PV generators. To suppress severe system voltage deviation, reactive power contro...

Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based HVDC is the most recent HVDC technology with extruded DC cables in small and medium power transmission. VSC-HVDC converters include Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT’S) and operated with high frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in order to get high speed control of both active and reactive power. With VSCHVDC there is an addition degree of freedom....
