Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) is a custom Power gadget utilized for power quality change within dissemination framework. The control procedures connected to the DSTATCOM assume a real part in its execution. Throughout the previous three decades, a substantial scale mix of circulated era (DG) is starting to change the electrical circulation system from detached to dynamic. Thus, spe...

Received Mar 2, 2014 Revised Jul 10, 2014 Accepted Jul 3, 2014 Modern Power Transmission networks are becoming increasingly stressed due to growing demand and restrictions on building new lines. Losing stability is one of the major threat of such a stressed system following a disturbance. Flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices are found to be very effective in a transmission network fo...

This paper presents a novel optimization based methodology to allocate Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in an attempt to improve the previously mentioned researches in this field. Static voltage stability enhancement, voltage profile improvement, line congestion alleviation, and FACTS devices investment cost reduction, have been considered, simultaneously, as objective funct...

Voltage instability has been given much attention by power system researchers and planners in recent years. One of the main reasons for voltage instability is reactive power imbalance in the power system. This paper proposes the use of wind power network for rectifying the problem of voltage instability. The aim of this paper is to identify the optimal location of FACTS controllers in an interc...

The potential of the STATCOM supplementary controllers to enhance thedynamic stability is evaluated. The design problem of STATCOM based damping controller is formulatedas an optimization problem according to the eigenvalue based objective function that is solved by...

In this paper, dynamic performance of a transformerless cascaded PWM static synchronous shunt compensator (STATCOM) based on a novel control scheme is investigated for bus voltage regulation in a 6.6kV distribution system. The transformerless STATCOM consists of a thirteen-level cascaded H-bridge inverter, in which each voltage source H-bridge inverter should be equipped with a floating and iso...

This paper presents robust controller design for a wind-driven induction generator system using structured singular value ( -synthesis) method. The controller was designed for a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and a variable blade pitch angle in a wind energy conversion system (WECS) in order to achieve the required voltage and mechanical power control. The results indicated that this ...
