This paper presents a comprehensive review on enhancement of power system stability such as rotor angle stability, frequency stability, and voltage stability by using different FACTS controllers such as TCSC, SVC, SSSC, STATCOM, UPFC, IPFC in an integrated power system networks. Also this paper presents the current status of the research and developments in the field of the power system stabili...

Congestion and overloading for lines are the main problems in the exploitation of power grids. The consequences of these problems in deregulated systems can be mentioned as sudden jumps in prices in some parts of the power system, lead to an increase in market power and reduction of competition in it. FACTS devices are efficient, powerful and economical tools in controlling power flows through ...

In emerging electric power systems, increased transactions often lead to the situations where the system no longer remains in secure operating region. The flexible Ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers can play an important role in the power system security enhancement. However, due to high capital investment, it is necessary to locate these controllers optimally in the power system. FACTS...

Power system small signal stability analysis aims to explore diierent small signal stability conditions and controls, namely, 1) exploring the power system security domains and boundaries in the space of power system parameters of interest, including load ow feasibility, saddle node and Hopf bifurcation ones, 2) nding the maximum and minimum damping conditions, and 3) determining control action...

We address the problem of power system restoration after a significant blackout. Prior work focus on optimization methods for finding high-quality restoration plans. Optimal solutions consist in a sequence of grid repairs and corresponding steady states. However, such approaches lack formal guarantees on the transient stability of restoration actions, a key property to avoid additional grid dam...

This paper presents a new strategy based on Multi-stage Fuzzy (MSF) PID controller based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) for damping Power System Stabilizer (PSS) in multi-machine environment. The recent studies in artificial intelligence demonstrated that the ABC optimization is strong intelligent method in complicated stability problems. Also, finding the parameters of PID controller in power ...

The deregulation of power systems has brought several new entities in the electricity market place. There is need to assess the impact of Independent Power Producers (IPP), Non-Utility Generators (NUG) and Distributed Generators (DG) on system operation and stability. This paper is concerned with the problems related to system security and stability resulting from the increased proliferation of...
