Introduction. In an electrical power system, the output of synchronous generators varies due to disturbances or sudden load changes. These variations in severely affect system stability and quality. The generator is equipped with automatic voltage regulator maintain its terminal at rated voltage. Several control techniques utilized improve response however, proportional integral derivative (PID...

Power gating technique reduces leakage power in the circuit. However, power gating leads to large voltage fluctuation on the power rail during power gating mode to active mode due to the package inductance in the Printed Circuit Board. This voltage fluctuation may cause unwanted transitions in neighboring circuits. In this work, a power gating architecture is developed for minimizing power in a...

Power system stabilizers (PSS) play an important role in damping of power system oscillations. An intensive research activity has been devoted to design of their structure and optimal setting of their parameters. In this paper the simultaneous optimization of multiloop PSS and automatic voltage regulator parameters (AVR) by means of genetic algorithm is proposed. Using an example of the 259 MVA...

This paper presents a method for determining the network lines and buses where the occurrence of faults will lead to voltage sags causing severe financial losses in the power system. The proposed method is based on a typical stochastic assessment of voltage sags. The network regions where fault occurrences will simultaneously lead to voltage sags at different sensitive load points can be determ...

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is a commonly used technology for long-distance power transmission, due to its low resistive losses and low costs. In this paper, a novel distributed controller for multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) systems is proposed. Under certain conditions on the controller gains, it is shown to stabilize the MTDC system. The controller is shown to always keep the voltages close...
