In this paper an attempt has been made to study the application of Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) to mitigate small signal stability problem in addition to congestion management of a heavily loaded line in a multimachine power system. The Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as TCSC can be used to control the power flows in the network and can help in improvement o...

This paper develops an optimization procedure for tuning of power systems stabilizer (PSS) and Thyristor controlled Series capacitor (TCSC) based the power oscillation damping controller (POD)n to enhance Power System stability. Bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) tries to minimize an Eigen value based multi objective function in which some loading conditions are considered concurrently to ensur...

Loss minimization in power system is an important research issue. Transmission line losses in a power system can be minimized by means of reactive power compensation. The continuous demand in electric power system network has caused it to be heavily loaded leading to voltage instability. This phenomenon has also led to voltage profile depreciation below the acceptable secure limit. The signific...

Saluran transmisi yang berfungsi menyalurkan energi dari pusat pembangkit ke beban harus secara efisien. Akan tetapi, jaringan luas memungkinkan pengoperasian saluran menjadi tidak Hal ini terjadinya rugi-rugi daya dan drop tegangan pada sistem. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan upaya untuk memanfaatkan kapasitas sistem tersedia efektif, salah satunya dengan memasang perangkat baru seperti TCSC (Thyr...

Rapid industrial development and innovations in technology bring about the menace of congestion deregulated power systems (DPS). The transmission lines are continuously working under a stressed condition with reduced transfer capacity. In this situation, losses voltage deviations at load buses increased hence reduce system stability. To mitigate congestion, improving available capability (ATC) ...
