The FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) devices have great use in the Electric Power System (EPS) for dynamic control of active and reactive powers system. This work deals with a comparative analysis between effects caused distance protection transmission lines (TLs) by two these devices: STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) SSSC Series Compensator). objective is to verify how connecti...

This paper presents a novel impedance-based approach for out-of-step (OOS) protection of a synchronous generator. The most popular and commonly used approaches for detecting OOS conditions are based on the measurement of positive sequence impedance at relay location. However, FACTS devices change the measured impedance value and thus disrupt the performance of impedance-based relay function. In...

The STATCOM (Synchronous Static Compensator) based on voltage source converter (VSC) is used for voltage regulation in transmission and distribution systems. The STATCOM can rapidly supply dynamic VARs required during system faults for voltage support. The apparent impedance is influenced by the reactive power injected or absorbed by the STATCOM, which will result in the under reaching or over ...

This paper describes the power-system stability improvement by a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) based damping controller with Differential evolution (DE) algorithm is used to find out the optimal controller parameters. The present study considered both local and remote signals with associated time delays. The performances of the proposed controllers have been compared with different d...

Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt connected voltage source converter (VSC), which can affect rapid control of reactive flow in the transmission line by controlling the generated a.c. voltage. The main aim of the paper is to design a power system installed with a Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and demonstrates the application of the linearised Phillips-heffron model i...

Problem statement: The critical clearing time provides very important role of the robustness in power system. The Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) has been accepted to be equipped in modern power system. This study presents the method to evaluate the Critical Clearing Time (CCT) of the system equipped with a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). Approach: The parameter on STATCOM is...

This paper presents an Interior Pont Method (IPM) and Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) based hybrid method to solve optimal power flow in power system incorporating Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) such as Static Synchronous Series Compensator(SSSC) for security enhancement in the power systems. A fuzzy logic composite criteria based severity index is also used as an obje...
