in this paper a comprehensive approach is presented to improve power swings damping based on direct lyapunov method. the approach combines superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) system with static synchronous compensator (statcom). considering the energy absorption/injection ability of smes, in transient states the combination exchanges both active and reactive powers with power system....

The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) can provide simultaneous control of all basic power system paramaters (transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle). The controller can fulfill functions of reactive shunt Compensation, series compensation and phase shifting, meeting multiple control objectives. From a functional perspective, the objectives are met by appliying a cross coupling contr...

This paper proposes an optimal design method for Passive power filters (PPFs) power filters set at high voltage levels to satisfy the requirements of Harmonic filtering and reactive power compensation. Multi objective Optimization models for PPF were constructed. Detuning effects and faults were also considered by constructing Constraints during the optimal process, which improved the reliabili...

A design method for new contactless power supply systems is proposed. Such systems realize contactless power supply to electrical apparatus, which may keep still or moving relative to the power source. Optimized electric parameters are determined to maximize the power transfer capability. Secondary compensation may be taken to further improve the power transfer characteristics. The applicabilit...

The DSTATCOM (Distribution STATic synchronous COMpensator) is being increasingly popular in power system applications. In general, compensation of reactive power in a power distribution network of a power utility and industry plays a major role in reducing distribution loss and maintaining constant distribution voltage. A simple transformation and steady state and transient analysis are achieve...

This paper proposes the use of a Modular Marx Multilevel Converter, as a solution for energy integration between an offshore Wind Farm and the power grid network. The Marx modular multilevel converter is based on the Marx generator, and solves two typical problems in this type of multilevel topologies: modularity and dc capacitor voltage balancing. This paper details the strategy for dc capacit...

This paper presents a hierarchical control strategy for heat and electric power control of a building integrating hybrid renewable power sources including photovoltaic, fuel cell and battery energy storage with Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) in smart distribution systems. Because of the controllability of fuel cell power, this power sources plays the main role for providing heat and electric p...

In this paper, we report on our efforts toward developing a multiscale segmentation based video compression algorithm aimed at very low bit-rate applications such as video teleconferencing and video phones. We introduce novel techniques for multiscale segmentation based motion compensation and residual coding. Our region based forward motion compensation strategy (in terms of direction of motio...
