Distance protection of transmission lines including advanced flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices has been a very challenging task. FACTS devices of interest in this paper are static synchronous series compensators (SSSC) and unified power flow controller (UPFC). In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to detect and classify the fault and identify the fault position in a transmiss...

In this paper a comprehensive approach is presented to improve power swings damping based on direct Lyapunov method. The approach combines superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system with static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Considering the energy absorption/injection ability of SMES, in transient states the combination exchanges both active and reactive powers with power system....

electric arc furnace (eaf) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. it is highly time varying and nonlinear. its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. on the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in eaf. to this end flexible ac transmission systems (facts) techn...

In this paper performance analysis of various hybrid reactive power compensators (RPC’s) at the inverter AC sides of a line commutated converter (LCC) based multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) transmission system, feeding weak AC networks, is carried out to thoroughly gather the mechanisms of interactions between an HVDC system and weak AC systems. The hybrid compensator is realized by equally mixing th...

This paper investigates the performance of line commutated converter (LCC) based monopolar HVDC transmission system feeding a weak AC network with hybrid reactive power compensators (RPC’s) at the inverter AC side.

This paper presents a line commutated converter (LCC) based multi-terminal HVDC transmission (MTDC) system feeding very weak AC networks with hybrid reactive power compensators (RPC’s) at the inverter AC side. The hybrid compensator is accomplished by the equal mixing of any two of the following compensators: synchronous compensator (SC); static var compensator (SVC); static synchronous compens...

Problem statement: FACTS devices play a major role in the efficient operation of the complex power system. FACTS devices such as STATCOM, SSSC and IPFC are in increasing usage. With energy storage systems they have a good control over the real as well as reactive power compensation and transient stability improvement. The design of controller for the SSSC with SMES system is analyzed in this st...
