Decoupling capacitors for multi-voltage power distribution systems

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...

Characteristics Analysis of Voltage Sag and Voltage Swell in Multi-Grounded Four-Wire Power Distribution Systems

In North America, Most power distribution systems employ a four-wire multi-grounded neutral (MGN) design. This paper has explained the inherent characteristics of multi-grounded three-phase four-wire distribution systems under unbalanced situations. As a result, the mechanism of voltage swell and voltage sag in MGN feeders becomes difficult to understand. The simulation tool that has been used ...

Optimal Locations and Sizing of Capacitors for Voltage Stability Enhancement in Distribution Systems

Voltage instability occurs in power systems when the system is unable to maintain an acceptable voltage profile under an increasing load demand and/or configuration changes. The operating conditions of the present day distribution systems are closer to the voltage stability boundaries due to the ever increasing load demand. This paper presents a new algorithm for optimal locations and sizing of...

a new control algorithm for dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) to improve power quality and voltage in distribution systems

abstract: one the most important problems in recent sensitive loads is the quality of voltage. for this challenge custom power devices are used in distribution systems. dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) is a custom power device that improves voltage, decrease power distortion, filter harmonics and balance distributed generations (dgs) with low voltage distribution system. in this paper, a new algo...
