The intent of this research is to do studies on these HVDC lines and to determine if they improve dynamic performance. In attempting to do so, tools such as PSS/E and a MATLAB based tool, PSAT, will be used to construct multiterminal HVDC models on an IEEE 9-bus system and an IEEE 14-bus system. While studying the IEEE 9-bus system, a comparison will be done to see whether using HVDC lines will...

Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices have been used for several targets in power system, one of the main contributions of the devices is improving operation conditions. In this paper, two types of these devices have been placed to raise voltage profile, minimizing system loss and arising loadability. The suggested FACTS devices are: Unified Power Flow Controller (UP...

This paper proposes an approach to optimally allocate multiple types of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices in market-based power systems with wind generation. The main objective is to maximize profit by minimizing device investment cost, and the system's operating cost considering both normal conditions and possible contingencies. The proposed method accurately evaluates the long-t...

This paper proposes a method based on genetic algorithm (GA) for the security-constrained 11 optimal dispatch of integrated natural gas and electricity networks, considering operating scenarios 12 in both energy systems. The mathematical formulation of the optimization problem consists of a 13 multi-objective function which aims to minimize both cost of thermal generation (diesel and natural 14...

This paper presents a novel method of identifying the suitable location for Installation of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), with static point of view, for reducing the severity of a load bus. Bus ranking Index which incorporates the combined effect of line outage contingency and bus load reaching to its voltage stability margin (VSM) is used for deriving the sensitivity factors. These sen...

This paper proposes an efficient differential evolution (DE) algorithm for the solution of the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. The main objective of ORPD is to minimize the total active power loss with optimal setting of control variables. The continuous control variables are generator bus voltage magnitudes. The discrete control variables are transformer tap settings and reacti...

Practical mixed-signal DFT solutions are presented with an emphasis on performance, cost, and test coverage. Special consideration is given to the possible DFT techniques for Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) with associated implications on test coverage, performance, cost, and time to market. An introduction to practical DFT techniques for data converters (A/D and D/A) follow. An overview of IEEE P114...

The increased presence of electric vehicle charging locations in a power system with high penetration intermittent wind potentially leads to operation complexities resulting abnormal impacts. This paper proposes an innovative framework for assessing the impact plug-in (PEV) on integrated farms, incorporating dynamic thermal limits (DTLs). comprises Monte Carlo simulation, which is embedded stoc...
