The multi-source power system ...

This paper presents a toolbox for the automatic generation of asynchronous circuits starting from a data flow graph description. The toolbox consists of a scheduling and code generation tool. We use traditional scheduling algorithms as for synchronous circuits, but have replaced the implied synchronous controller for an asynchronous distributed control network. The control circuit allows for tr...

FACTS technology improves the power system stability by providing the necessary compensation to transmission lines. Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) is one such unique concept for exchange of power flow in case of interconnected systems. In this paper, an IPFC is proposed to improve the voltage stability of a given power system network consisting of three transmission lines. The gate trig...

This paper presents a method for designing of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller based on unified power flow controller (UPFC) using chaotic harmony search algorithm (CHS) for damping of low frequency oscillations (LFO) in a power system. The main aim of this paper, optimization of selected gains with the time domainbased objective function which is solved by chaotic harmony sear...

The boiler drum process is a nonlinear, complex and multivariable process which includes significant time delay. Therefore, the control on the water level in the drum is not easy and ideal. The first objective of this paper is to model the drum water level referring to 210 MW power unit for Nassiriyah thermal power plant. The second objective is to study the water level controller operation wit...

Increasing of word demand load caused a new Distributed Generation (DG) to enter to powersystem. One of the most renewable energy is the Photovoltaic System. It is beneficial to use thissystem in both separately as well as connected to power system using power electronics interface.In this paper an optimal PID controller for Photovoltaic System systems has been developed. Theoptimization techni...

This project presents the operation of a distributed generation (DG) system driven by a dcdc step-up converter and a dc-ac voltage source inverter (VSI) interfaced with the power grid by Fuzzy Controller. To create a stable mode when different kinds of loads are connected locally or when working under contingency, the step-up converter must regulate the dc link voltage, allowing the VSI to stab...

Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) occur in power systems because of lack of the damping torque in order to dominance to power system disturbances as change in mechanical input power. In the recent past Power System Stabilizer (PSS) was used to damp LFO. FACTs devices, such as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), can control power flow and increase transient stability. So UPFC may be used to dam...
