Optimal Location of FACTS devices are very important for the rapid and successful operation because of high cost and circuit complexities. In this paper best location of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) is obtained both for static and transient voltage stability enhancement of an IEEE 14 bus power system. The simulation is done on PSAT (Power System Analysis Tool-box) in MATLAB and optimal ...

Abstract: Transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) are widely used to translate the current output of sensors like photodiode-to-voltage signals, since many circuits and instruments can only accept voltage input. An operational amplifier with a feedback resistor from output to the inverting input is the most straightforward implementation of such a TIA. However, even this simple TIA circuit requires ca...

This paper proposes a hybrid technique for secured optimal power flow coupled with enhancing voltage stability with FACTS device installation. The hybrid approach of Improved Gravitational Search algorithm (IGSA) and Firefly algorithm (FA) performance is analyzed by optimally placing TCSC controller. The algorithm is implemented in MATLAB working platform and the power flow security and voltage...

Received Jan 9, 2018 Revised Mar 2, 2018 Accepted Mar 18, 2018 The objective of this paper is to predict the secure or the insecure state of the power system network using a hybrid technique which is a combination of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and voltage stability indexes. Voltage collapse or an uncontrollable drop in voltage occurs in a system when there is a change in the condition of t...

Maintaining voltage stability is an important factor in modern power system study and operation. Supplementing the with reactive (VAr) support devices such as FACTS helps to overcome instability issues. Commonly, dynamic optimization based method employed Voltage Stability Analysis (VSA) of system. The existing approach has dependencies on availability specific tools model perform VSA. Besides,...
