this paper presents a method for damping of low frequency oscillations (lfo) in a power system. the powersystem contains static synchronous series compensators (sssc) which using a chaotic harmony searchalgorithm (chsa), optimizes the lead-lag damping stabilizer. in fact, the main target of this paper isoptimization of selected gains with the time domain-based objective function, which is solve...

This paper presents graphic-based simulation and optimal PI controller design of a static var compensator (SVC) using MATLAB’s SIMULINK. Utilization of MATLAB software simplifies problem solving complexity and also reduces working time. In this paper, an optimal PI controller design using genetic algorithms for the SVC was demonstrated. From which satisfactory controller design results, tests a...

Switching circuits with thyristor controlled reactors are used in high power systems for static VAR control and flexible AC transmission. These circuits can exhibit highly nonlinear behavior because the thyristor switch off time depends on the circuit state. This paper shows how to understand and predict damping and resonance in a basic thyristor controlled reactor circuit used for static VAR c...

This paper will discuss and demonstrate how Static Var Compensator (SVC) component and how will be these components successfully applied to control reactive power in the transmission line for system disturbance and effectively regulate system voltage. SVC is basically a shunt connected static var generator whose output is adjusted to exchange capacitive or inductive current so as to maintain or...

In emerging power systems, enlarged communication often lead to the situations where the structure no longer remains in secure operating region. The flexible Ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers can take part in an important role in the power system security enhancement. However, due to high capital investment, it is necessary to locate these controllers optimally in the power system. Sta...

Optimal power flow (OPF) is a major task in power system economics and operation. In OPF power real power outputs from the generators of a power system are so adjusted that the total production cost is minimum. Security constraint OPF (SC-OPF) is minimizing the cost keeping line flows within their respective limits for security reasons. Real power output from generators, generator bus voltage m...

Variable structure-based robust compensators are general approaches to deal with uncertain nonlinear dynamic systems. The bang-bang (discontinuous-type) compensator and the saturation (continuous-type) compensator are the two common robust compensators used in variable structure controllers. This paper presents a comparative study of these two nonsmooth time-invariant robust compensators with a...
