A power system is considered to be transiently stable if it can regain and maintain synchronism after a sudden disturbance. Circuit breakers play a pivotal role in maintaining transient stability of power systems. Using high speed circuit breakers, transient stability can be achieved efficiently in power systems. The project has aimed at the improvement of the transient stability using high spe...

Problem statement: Modern power system consists of the complicated network of transmission lines and carries heavy demand. Thus they cause in the stability problem. One of the major interests of power utilities is the improvement of power system transient behavior. Approach: Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is a power electronic based device that has the capability of controlling th...

For the improvement of transient stability the general methods adopted are fast acting exciters, circuit breakers and reduction in system transfer reactance. The modern trend is to employ FACTS devices in the existing system for effective utilization of existing transmission resources. These FACTS devices contribute to power flow improvement besides they extend their services in transient stabi...

In this paper the effect of presence of wind farms on relay coordination at fault condition and transient response at reclosing condition is studied. Wind farms as one of the important distribution generations (DGs) are so effective on overcurrent relay coordination in power systems. As well as Wind farms cause to severe oscillations on voltage, power and frequency in power system after reclosi...

This paper proposes a nonlinear control strategy of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for improving transient stability of multimachine power system. The large scale and the complexity of modern power system require the nonlinear control strategy of the STATCOM. The concept of Lyapunov energy function is applied to derive the nonlinear control strategy and the proposed control based on...
