With the ever increasing complexities in power systems across the globe and the growing need to provide stable, secure, controlled, economic and high quality power especially in the deregulated power market. It is envisaged that FACTS controllers will play a vital role in power systems. This paper investigates the improvement of transient stability of a test system under three phase fault using...

This work deals with modeling and simulation of multi bus system using D-STATCOM. Voltage sag is increased by connecting a heavy load. The sag is mitigated using D-STATCOM. The circuit models and simulation results are presented. The Simulation results are compared with the analytical results. KeywordsDistribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM)

The use of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices in a power system can potentially overcome limitations of the present mechanically controlled transmission system. Also, the advance of technology makes possible to include new energy storage devices in the electrical power system. The integration of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) into Static Synchronous Compensator (STA...

Brazil is a country with continental dimensions and has power generation system interconnected all regions, through transmission lines (TLs), allowing supply for its all-consumption centers. However, building new TLs may be unfeasible in an environmental financial sense. With the advancement of electronics, FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems) devices were created, which ar...

Abstract: The use of the isolated hybrid power systems is being popular due to the continuous increasing gap between demand and supply of conventional energy sources and intermittent nature of non-conventional energy sources. Normally, the non-conventional energy source such as wind have induction generator to generate electricity but induction generators require reactive power for its operatio...

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...

This work presents a methodology, based on the modeling of an electrical power system test created in PSCAD/EMTDC simulation environment. The purpose is to evaluate, at first, impacts that Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Var (SVC) cause transient angular stability generators against disturbances, evaluating rotor displacement synchronous under analysis. In second momen...
