Deregulation and privatization are posing new challenges to high voltage transmission and distributions systems. System components are loaded up to their thermal limits, and power trading with fast varying load patterns is leading to an increasing congestion. In addition to this, the dramatic global climate developments call for changes in the way electricity is supplied [1, 2]. Innovative solu...

Electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. It is highly time varying and nonlinear. Its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. On the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in EAF. To this end Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) techn...

With the increasing electric power demand, power systems can face to stressed conditions, the operation of power system becomes more complex, and power system will become less secure. Moreover, because of restructuring, the problem of power system security has become a matter of concern in deregulated power industry. Better utilization of available power system capacities by Flexible AC Transmi...

An Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a typical Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device playing a vital role as a stability aid for large transient disturbances in an interconnected power system.This paper deals with the design of Feedback Linearising Controller (FBLC) for UPFC.The disturbances are created in the SMIB system and the results are simulated.The results proved the supre...
