Reactive power compensation in a power distribution network plays a vital role in improving voltage and power system stability. Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices like Static Var Compensators (SVCs) are used to control reactive power generation or absorption in long transmission line. However, these SVCs will introduce harmonic current in to the system due to the operation of thyri...

This paper presents a novel approach to determinethe power system stability using resistive superconducting faultcurrent limiter (SFCL) of an electric power grid (EPG). Inaddition, the electric railwaysystem has rapidly changing loadcharacteristics in time. An unbalance is generated owing to therapidly changing large single-phase loads. Subsequently, the unbalanced load causes an unbalanced tra...

This study proposes an algorithm to allocate different types of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) in power systems. The main objective this is maximize profit by minimizing the system’s operating cost including FACTS devices (FDs) installation cost. Dynamic and steady state restrictions with loads uncertainty are included problem formulation. overall solved using both teaching learning ba...

The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is a typical FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) device that is capable of instantaneous control of transmission line parameters. This paper presents the transient model and control system of UPFC. The presented control system enables the UPFC to following the exchanges of line active and reactive power reference values, regulating the DC link and b...

Loss minimization in power system is an important research issue. Transmission line losses in a power system can be minimized by means of reactive power compensation. The continuous demand in electric power system network has caused it to be heavily loaded leading to voltage instability. This phenomenon has also led to voltage profile depreciation below the acceptable secure limit. The signific...

The sub synchronous resonance (SSR) is a substantial problem in power system having a steam turbine generator connected to a series compensated transmission system. Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers are widely applied to mitigate SSR. In this paper, a bus voltage and line current (BVLC) supplementary subsynchronous damping controller (SSDC) is proposed to alleviate subsynchro...

In this paper a novel method for finding the fault zone on a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) incorporated transmission line is presented. The method makes use of the Support Vector Machine (SVM), used in the classification mode to distinguish between the zones, before or after the TCSC. The use of Discrete Wavelet Transform is made to prepare the features which would be given as th...
