This work investigates the effects of the STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator), a FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) device, on small-signal power system angle stability. This investigation is carried out for a single machine connected to an infinite bus via a loss-less transmission line. The study is based on investigation of the eigenvalues of the linearized power system model in th...

This paper proposes, an efficient variant of particle swarm optimization (PSO) to solve the multi-objective optimal reactive power flow (ORPF) based flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) using multi STATCOM Controllers by adjusting dynamically their parameters setting. Two objectives function are considered (power loss and voltage deviation) to validate the robustness of the proposed approach...

With the recent trends towards deregulating power systems around the world, transfer capability computation emerges as the key issue to a smoothly running power market with multiple transactions. Enhancement of available transfer Capability (ATC) is an important topic in current deregulation environment considering loop flows and heavily loaded lines. The thermal limits of transmission lines, v...

The nonlinear load such as UPS, fan controller, mobile charger is distorting the supply current waveform. This current harmonics derates the power system equipment. To avoid this current harmonics, filters namely passive filter / active filter /hybrid filters are introduced in the supply line. In this paper the overall view of the performance of the various filters are studied and the performan...

Transformerless inverters are high efficiency inverters featuring high efficiency and lower size and weight. In this paper a topology based on H-bridge with ac decoupling scheme consisting of diode bridge and a switch with clamping to the DC midpoint is implemented. A 16V prototype of HB-ZVR inverter has been implemented in hardware using open loop control. The control pulses were generated usi...

Large-scale wind farms in commercial operations have demonstrated growing influence on the stability of an electricity network and power quality thereof.
