Abstract:

Main contribution of this work is improving transient stability by installing Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) in power systems. For do this, Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) has been selected. Also a novel structure has been suggested to improve classic Harmony Search algorithm and suggested improved Harmony Search (iHS) algorithm. This algorithm has been used to obtain UPFC parameters. Simulation has been performed by SIMULINK/MATLAB environment. Simulation results illustrate power and accuracy of the proposed technique.

Transient stability and power flow model of the Unified Power Flow controller for various control strategies

This paper describes and validates transient stability and power flow model of a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), and presents a detailed comparison of different controls strategies, proposing novel, efficient and simple controls for this controller. The proposed model accurately represents the behavior of the controller in quasi-steady state operating conditions, and hence is adequate for...

Improve dynamic performance of fixed speed wind turbines using unified power flow controller (UPFC) and fractional order controller (FOC)

Wind powers are very unstable in voltage fluctuations, especially in short circuit error and sharp and sudden voltage drops, which one of its main reasons is the use of induction generators in these power plants and thus need to reactive power and high magnetizing current. To improve the ride_through voltage from WECS in error conditions and damping the oscillations of the induction generator r...

IIR System Identification Using Improved Harmony Search Algorithm with Chaos

Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...

Multi-Objective Optimal Power Flow using BAT Search Algorithm with Unified Power Flow Controller for Minimization of Real Power Losses

In this paper a multi objective optimal power flow (OPF) is obtained by using BAT search algorithm (BAT) with Unified power flow controller (UPFC). UPFC is a voltage source converter type Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) device. It is able to control the voltage magnitudes, voltage angles and line impedances individually or simultaneously. UPFC along with BAT algorithm i...
