In this paper, a consistent pattern with the optimal coordinated design of PSS and SSSC controller to improve the damping of low frequency oscillations is shown. In this design, sensing and signal transmission time delays are considered as effectiveness parameters. The design problem has been considered an optimization problem and biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm is used for sear...

Over the last few years, the problem of voltage stability has received a lot of attraction from the power system community. This type of stability is now a major concern for utilities in both planning and operating conditions. Both static and dynamic aspects of the problem have been discussed and investigated by the researchers. The present paper concentrates on a Voltage Stability Analysis fun...

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...

FACTS technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. STATCOM is oneof the most important FACTS devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. Since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper STATCOM is used...

The static voltage stability and the dynamic voltage stability are integrated. To consider a shunt compensator and/or a more general load which is dependent on voltage, a modified criterion for the static voltage stability is developed and the system is controlled to satisfy this static Stability criterion. For an accurate analysis of the dynamic voltage stability, the system model includes exc...

In this paper, a novel compensator based on Magnetically Controlled Reactor with Fixed Capacitor banks (FC-MCR) is introduced and then power system stability in presence of this compensator is studied using an intelligent control method. The problem of robust FC-MCR-based damping controller design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. The multi-objective problem is concocted ...

This paper presents a new centralized adaptive method under frequency load shedding. Sometimes, after initial frequency drop following severe disturbances, although the system frequency returns to its permissible value, however, the system might become unstable due to voltage problems. In this regard, the paper proposes a new centralized adaptive load shedding method to enhance the voltage stab...

Nowadays, the usage of load emulators, is the best method for implementation and analysis of different electrical load change scenarios in laboratories. This paper presents an improved programmable load emulator which can emulate both reference active and reactive power simultaneously. The proposed control system can track the dynamic load changes rapidly and accurately in addition to pulse cha...
