Brazil is a country with continental dimensions and has power generation system interconnected all regions, through transmission lines (TLs), allowing supply for its all-consumption centers. However, building new TLs may be unfeasible in an environmental financial sense. With the advancement of electronics, FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems) devices were created, which ar...

Abstract: The use of the isolated hybrid power systems is being popular due to the continuous increasing gap between demand and supply of conventional energy sources and intermittent nature of non-conventional energy sources. Normally, the non-conventional energy source such as wind have induction generator to generate electricity but induction generators require reactive power for its operatio...

in this paper, a novel method is developed for designing the output feedback controller for static synchronous series compensator (sssc). in the proposed method, the problem of selecting the output feedback gains for the sssc controllers is changed into an optimization problem with a time domain-based objective function.then, it is solved by using the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm...

Electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. It is highly time varying and nonlinear. Its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. On the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in EAF. To this end Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) techn...

This work presents a methodology, based on the modeling of an electrical power system test created in PSCAD/EMTDC simulation environment. The purpose is to evaluate, at first, impacts that Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Var (SVC) cause transient angular stability generators against disturbances, evaluating rotor displacement synchronous under analysis. In second momen...

The Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Compensation (TCSC) as two FACTS devices are considered i...

Problem statement: The critical clearing time provides very important role of the robustness in power system. The Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) has been accepted to be equipped in series with modern power system. This study presents the method to evaluate the Critical Clearing Time (CCT) of the system equipped with a SSSC. Approach: The parameter on SSSC is modeled in energy func...
