Abstract– After a disturbance occurrence, fast damping of power oscillations is essential to reduce the risk of instability and thus increase the power transfer capacity of transmission systems. Recently, the Static Series Synchronous Compensator (SSSC) has justified its ability to improve power oscillation damping. Due to substantial interactions among the SSSC damping control loops and the po...

In large power systems, low frequency electro-mechanical oscillations often follow the electrical disturbances. Generally, power system stabilizers (PSS) are used in conjunction with Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) to damp out the oscillations. However, during some operating conditions this device may not produce adequate damping and other effective alterations are needed in addition to PSS....

Pulse Width modulated based Series Compensator (PWMSC), a newly FACTS device, can modulate the impedance of a transmission line through the variation of the duty cycle of a train of pulses with fixed frequency, resulting in improvement of system performance. In this study, a current injection model of PWMSC is proposed and incorporated in the transmission system model. The purpose of the work r...

Power system stabilizers have been widely used and successfully implemented for the improvement of power system damping. However, a fixed parameter power system stabilizer tends to be sensitive to variations in generator dynamics so that, for operating conditions away from those used for design, the effectiveness of the stabilizer can be greatly impaired. With the advent of microprocessor techn...

Power system stabilization is a major issue in the area of power systems research. The Conventional Power System Stabilizer (CPSS) parameters are tuned by using Genetic Algorithm to achieve proper damping over a wide range of operating conditions. The CPSS lack of robustness over wide range of operating conditions. In this paper type-2 Fuzzy Logic Power System Stabilizer (FLPSS) is presented to...

This paper presents a systematic methodology for design and tuning of the current controller in LCL gridconnected converters for wind turbine applications. The design target is formulated as a minimization of the current loop dominant time constant, which is in accordance with standard design guidelines for wind turbine controllers (fast time response and high stability margins). The proposed a...

In this paper, a new control strategy is developed to improve comfort and roadholding of a ground vehicle equipped with an industrial damper. This damper can be controlled by means of a small servomechanism which adjusts the damping rate. The main controller is a linear parameter varying (LPV ) static state-feedback controller synthesized in the H∞/LPV framework to compute the required damping ...
