The model predictive control (MPC) methods have been widely applied due to the fast dynamic performance and multiple targets. However, they show certain limits when multilevel converters, such as unfixed switching frequency, large computation burden, complex weighting factors selection. This article proposes a novel modulated MPC (M <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlin...

This paper presents the stability enhancement of four parallel-operated offshore Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) is connected to an onshore power system using a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). The operating characteristics of each of the four WTGs are simulated by wind permanent magnet synchronous generator while the onshore power system is simulated by a Synchronous Generator (SG) fed...

Power systems are subjected to small–signal oscillations that can be caused by sudden change in the value of large loads. To avoid the dangers of these oscillations, the Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are used. When the PSSs can not be effective enough, installation of the Thyristor–based compensators to increase the oscillations damping is a suitable method. In this paper, a Static Synchronou...

The driving forces for the smart grid technologies are presented, including the blackout, global energy crisis and environmental protection requirement. The key technology issues for building the smart grid are discussed. The crucial elements of the smart grid and thei...

AbstractIn modern power system, Static Compensator (STATCOM) is used to alleviate the transient stability problem and damping power system oscillations. In this paper different STATCOM control scheme using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and model predictive controller (MPC) for the Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system in improving transient stability is simulated using MATLAB/ Simulink in po...

In recent years, the doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) are used in modern wind power plants. These generators have a large impact on the stability of power system. In this paper, we examine the stability of DFIG wind turbines with static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Optimal tuning of STATCOM control Parameters is very important in order to proper Performance of STATCOM as a stabiliz...

Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) have been gaining popularity in recent years due to growing concerns about fuel depletion and increasing petrol prices. Random uncoordinated charging of multiple EVs at residential distribution feeders with moderate penetration levels is expected in the near future. This paper describes a high performance voltage controller for the EVs charging system, and prop...

The characteristics of Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) based on six-pulse Voltage Source Converter (VSC), which is inserted in series into a three phase inductive system, are analyzed and calculated in detail in its inductive and capacitive operation modes, including the AC, DC current and DC capacitor voltage in one period. And the expressions for them are derived in order to asse...

In this paper, the goal is the improvement of transient condition in a single machine system with designing of the nonlinear controllers for static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). By obtaining the Lyapunov function in presence of compensator in the system, some controllers are designed for it which by satisfying the Lyapunov stability criteria will increase the margin of transient stability ...
