is an issue that needs due thoughtfulness from researchers in the horizon of unbundling of generation and transmission. Electric power systems are exposed to various contingencies. Network contingencies often contribute to overloading of branches, violation of voltages and also leading to problems of security/stability. To maintain the security of the systems, it is desirable to estimate the ef...

Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in a Deregulated power system environment. Two types of Methodologies used in congestion Management are non-cost free methods and cost free methods. In this research work congestion is relieved by using cost-free methods considering FACTS Devices such as TCSC(Thyristor controlled series Compensator) and UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller...

The paper summarizes new control designs developed at Washington State University for the control of existing SVC’s, and TCSC owned by Bonneville Power Administration. The new controls are primarily aimed at improving transient stability of the WSCC western electric power system. The proposed controls are heuristic and are nonlinear. They are shown to be very effective in increasing the operati...

This paper demonstrates the phase imbalanced series capacitive compensation concept to enhance power system dynamics as it has the potential of damping power swing as well as sub synchronous resonance oscillations. A scheme for a phase imbalanced capacitive compensation is shown. It is a “hybrid” series compensation scheme, where the series capacitive compensation in one phase is created using ...
