Congestion in the transmission lines is one of the technical problems that appear particularly in the deregulated environment. There are two types of congestion management methodologies to relieve it. One is non-cost free methods and another is cost-free methods, among them later method relieves the congestion technically whereas the former is related with the economics. In this paper congestio...

The interaction mechanism between AC and DC systems in a hybrid AC-DC transmission grid is discussed with PSS/E software. Analysis shows that receiving-end AC faults may cause much more damage on the HVDC system operation than the sending-end AC faults in a multi-infeed HVDC system, and the damage severity depends on the power recovering rate of the HVDC systems. For HVDC systems with slow powe...

the share of dc-based renewable energy resources (rers) and electricity storage systems are increasing due to developments of smart grid technologies. moreover, the share of dc-based load has rapid growth due to significant developments of power electronic technologies. therefore, a more flexible power system is required for efficient integration of emerging loads and generators. in this paper,...

With the introduction of competition in the existing electrical market, it becomes necessary to enhance the transmission capacity of the power system through the existing transmission lines. The utilization of FACTS technologies can have significant impact on power system reliability. Low cost and feasibly better improvement can be achieved by using power electronics based devices in the system...

Abstract: Due to the expansion of high voltage Alternating Current (AC) power transmission lines and cathodically protected buried pipelines, it is becoming more and more difficult to construct them with enough safe distances between them. Thus, the pipelines are frequently exposed to induced AC interferences, which result in perturbation of Cathodic Protection (CP) due to AC corrosion. To s...

This paper presents an algorithm, for solving the Optimal Power Flow problem with flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). The type of FACTS devices is used: thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC). A method to determine the optimal location of thyristor controlled series compensators has been suggested. The proposed approaches have been implemented on an adapted IEEE 26 bus system. The s...

Today Transmission & Distribution network of power systems are very stressed due to growing demand of better quality of power at lower cost. As a result transmission networks are operating on high transmission levels. Transient stability, damping oscillations etc are the major operating problems that power engineers are confronting during transmitting power at high levels.Transient Stability in...

We develop new optimization methodology for planning installation of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices of the parallel and shunt types into large power transmission systems, which allows to delay or avoid installations of generally much more expensive power lines. Our methodology takes as an input projected economic development, expressed through a paced growth of...

BACKGROUND We developed a cardiac SPECT system (X-ACT) with low dose volume CT transmission-based attenuation correction (AC). Three solid-state detectors are configured to form a triple-head system for emission scans and reconfigured to form a 69-cm field-of-view detector arc for transmission scans. A near mono-energetic transmission line source is produced from the collimated fluorescence x-r...

<span lang="EN-US">Transmission systems are prone to contingency conditions that would either occur using a generator outage or line outage. Placing and sizing the flexible ac transmission (FACTS) devices appropriately can reduce effects of condition.
