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....

In this paper performance analysis of Doubly Fed Induction Generator under abnormal condition is analysed. In recent years, this series compensated transmission system will produce unwanted effect of sub synchronous resonance. Super Conducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) provides an efficient damping for sub synchronous resonance that will enhance power system stability in addition to real a...

Automatic generation control in electric power system design is a major concern nowadays due to its rising size, varying structure, integration of renewable-energy sources and distributed generators to meet the growing demand. In this paper, automatic generation control of an interconnected four area hydro thermal system examined. Each area equipped with reheat turbine for thermal system and hy...

We are developing a 50 kWh-class flywheel energy storage system as a national project, using a new axial superconducting magnetic bearing (Ax_SMB) technology. The project has started in FY2005 and will continue to FY2007. The Ax_SMB is composed of Fe core and superconducting coil, which are simply torus-shape. It generates strong restoring force in axial direction. It can realize non-contact le...
