Optimization and control of reactive power distribution in the power systems leads to the better operation of the reactive power resources. Reactive power control reduces considerably the power losses and effective loads and improves the power factor of the power systems. Another important reason of the reactive power control is improving the voltage profile of the power system. In this paper, ...

With the rapidly increasing number of distributed energy resources (DER) on electric grids worldwide, there is a growing need to have these devices provide grid services and contribute to voltage and frequency regulation. PV inverters and other reactive-power capable DER have the capability to minimize distribution losses and provide voltage regulation with grid-support functions such as volt-v...

The effects of shunt compensation on power system transmission stability and modern approach of the reactive power control scheme have been investigated in this paper. Reactive power compensation is realized in shunt connection with two components: thyristor controlled reactor (TCR) and thyristor switched capacitor (TSC). A special attention has been given in the following paragraphs to a moder...

This paper describes optimal reactive power control of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), which is widely used in a distributed generating plant. Although its structure is similar to that of induction motors, its reactive power control is more complicated. In this paper, steady-state power transfer equations are derived and developed for a doubly fed structure of the induction generators....

The integration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind into the transmission distribution grid has increased gradually for quenching increasing demand alternative to fossil fuels. However, due intermittent nature primarily wind, injection power generation shall also be fluctuating which in turn will impact voltage profile grid. Also, case any major load disconnection or generator tripp...
