Problem statement: FACTS devices play a major role in the efficient operation of the complex power system. FACTS devices such as STATCOM, SSSC and IPFC are in increasing usage. With energy storage systems they have a good control over the real as well as reactive power compensation and transient stability improvement. The design of controller for the SSSC with SMES system is analyzed in this st...

With the development of the rural power grids increasing gradually, there are higher requirements needed for its operation in reliability and economy. Reactive compensation using shunt capacitor at both ends of the load, reducing current of lines, and improves the power factor of system. The objective is to reduce losses of line, and improves the quality of voltage and the utilization of electr...

This project deals with the application of distribution generation with energy storage system connected to the low– voltage microgrid by coupling inverter for simultaneous energy management and other aucillary services that include the compensation of power quality disturbances. To address inaccurate power sharing problems in autonomous islanding microgrid, an enhanced droop control method thro...

It is well known that shunt capacitance is both socially and economically beneficial to power system network. These devices reduce the apparent power (S) which is produced by generators allowing more customers to be served and increasing the income of electrical companies. Shunt compensation units have to be connected to carefully selected substations to result in a high degree of reactive powe...

This paper presents a novel technique based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) to correct the line power factor with variable loads. A synchronous motor controlled by the neural compensator was used to handle the reactive power of the system. The ANN compensator was trained with the extended delta-bar-delta learning algorithm. The parameters of the ANN were then inserted into a PIC 16F877 con...

A scalable multi-agent paradigm is presented for control of distributed energy resources to achieve higher reliability, higher power quality, and more efficient (optimum) power generation and consumption A dynamic hybrid multi-agent system is proposed in this paper as a means to achieve scalability for control of a large network of power generation, transmission, load, and compensation sources....

With the rapidly increasing number of distributed energy resources (DER) on electric grids worldwide, there is a growing need to have these devices provide grid services and contribute to voltage and frequency regulation. PV inverters and other reactive-power capable DER have the capability to minimize distribution losses and provide voltage regulation with grid-support functions such as volt-v...

Brushless doubly fed reluctance generator (BDFRG) has been recently suggested as a wind generator. Different control methods are presented in literature for the BDFRG, but there is a gap on control under unbalanced grid voltage condition (UGVC). This paper presents a predictive direct power control (PDPC) method for the BDFRG under UGVC. The proposed PDPC method is based on power compensation s...
