Voltage stability of a system is affected by reactive power limit of the system. FACTs devices improve the reactive power flow in system thereby improving voltage stability. This paper explores the effect of SVC and STATCOM on static voltage stability. IEEE14 bus system has been used to demonstrate the ability of SVC and STATCOM in improving the voltage stability margin. These FACTs controllers...

This paper presents a new algorithm based on Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) and its stability analysis for sensorless control of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). The reference and adjustable models of the suggested observer are based on the active power of the machine. A hysteresis block is used in the structure of the adaptation mechanism, and the stability analysis is performe...

Stability is an important constraint in power system operation; the transient stability constrained optimal power flow (TSCOPF) has a considerable attention in recent years. The solution obtained from the conventional optimal power flow (OPF), which considers only the static constraints, does not guarantee transient stability in the system against possible contingencies such as line fault. In t...

Unlike the existing views that was introduced the existence of delay caused by the transmission of wide area measurement system data (WAMS) into the controllers input of the power oscilation damping (POD) by communication networks as a reason for poor performance of the POD controllers. This paper shows that the presence of time delay in the feedback loop may improve the performance of a POD co...

A transient stability control system for the electric power system composed of a prediction method and a control method is proposed based on trajectory information. This system, which is independent of system parameters and models, can detect the transient stability of the electric power system quickly and provide the control law when the system is unstable. Firstly, system instability is detec...

-Power converters with their controls normally behave as a constant power load. This load can significantly degrade the system stability. Therefore, the system dynamic model is very importance because it can be used for stability analysis. It is well known that power converter models are time-varying because of their switching behaviours. This paper presents the DQ modeling method to eliminate ...

This paper presents a technique for real-time predictionof stability/instability of a power system based on synchrophasor measurements obtained from phasor measurement units (PMUs) at generator buses.For stability assessment the technique makes use of system severity indices developed usingbus voltage magnitudeobtained from PMUs and generator electrical power. Generator power is computed using ...
