Owing to advances in many technologies, the high-speed flywheel energy storage system (FESS), flywheel battery, has become a viable alternative to electrochemical batteries and attracted much research attention in recent years. A self-organising fuzzy neural network controller is presented for FESS to improve transient stability and increase transfer capability of power systems. The main differ...

Background: Enzyme engineering by immobilization techniques has proven to be well compatible with the other chemical or biological approaches aiming to improve enzyme’s functions and stability. Zeolites are porous alumino-silicates with a wide range of porosity and particle size along with the other remarkable properties such as high surface area, high stability against a wide range temperature...

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...

-----------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------It is very important to maintain supply reliability under the deregulated environment. The transient stability problem is one of the major concerns in studies of planning and operation of power systems. Although the equalarea criterion method is useful in determining the ...

With an increase in power transfer, transient stability is increasingly becoming important for secure operation. With the advent of FACTS devices, the problem of transient stability is being addressed and efforts are under way to utilize the systems to their full capacity. The focus of this work is a neural network predictive controller for a versatile FACTs device, Unified Power Flow Controlle...

In this study, the precise tracking problem for electrostatic micromirror systems with disturbances and input saturation is investigated. Inspired by composite nonlinear feedback (CNF)’s improvement of transient performance sliding mode control’s enhancement robustness, a novel integral reaching law (ISMRL)-based (CNF) controller proposed. Then, stability closed-loop system proved based on Lyap...

Superconductor fault current limiter (SFCL) is an effective device to suppress high fault currents. This paper presents a comparative study of resistive and inductive fault current limiters from transient stability point of view.  Appropriate location and type of the limiters in a HV substation is selected by a qualitative approach based on the equal area criterion. Study system is simulated by...

In this paper, the challenging multi-contingency transient stability constrained optimal power flow problem is partitioned into two sub-problems, namely optimal power flow (OPF) and transient stability control, solved in turn with conventional well trusted power system analysis tools instead of tackling it directly using a complicated integrated approach. Preventive multi-contingency transient ...
