This paper addresses optimal design and performance analysis of the Social Spider Optimization (SSO) algorithm based Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-source power system. Since this controller has more adjusted parameters than classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, thus it provi...

Modular multilevel converters (MMC) play a dominant role in integrating remotely located renewable energy resources (RER) over the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission network. The fault ride-through capabilities of MMC-HVDC network during low-voltage faults and power fluctuation due to RER intermittency are major obstacles effective integration energy. In response, this article prop...

the interline power flow controller (ipfc) is a concept of the facts controller for series compensation which can inject a voltage with controllable magnitude and phase angle among multi lines. this paper proposes a novel ipfc-based damping neuro-control scheme using pso for damping oscil la t i o ns in a power system to improve power system stability. the add i tion of a supplementary controll...

Wind power development is booming globally, and large scale onshore wind power is under development in China, the Americas and India. Compared with AC transmission, HVDC technology can due to lower losses be attractive if the distance from generation to consumption is long. VSC (Voltage Source Converter) HVDC is rapidly maturing as a technology, and offers some significant advantages compared t...

Modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission networks integrate remotely located distributed renewable energy resources (RER). The intermittent nature of RER and symmetrical asymmetrical AC-side low-voltage faults produce operational difficulties. It reduces the MMC’s ability to transfer rated power, which raises HVDC link. Therefore, MMC-HVDC network...

Unreasonable control parameters of the Line Commutated Converter based High Voltage Direct Current (LCC-HVDC) system may induce small-signal instability. This paper studies impact inverter controller on steady response LCC-HVDC under weak AC grid condition. Firstly, according to a practical project, model is established switching function. Then, eigen-analysis method adopted study side oscillat...

It is now clear that the installation of offshore wind parks is the next step towards an even more widespread use of wind power. In what concerns the interconnection of remote offshore wind parks to the existing onshore grid, for distances over 50 km and/or installed capacities above 100 MW, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology seems to be more adequate than High Voltage Alternating Cu...
