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...

The power demand around the world is increasing rapidly. aging distribution network architectures are used by existing utility companies to deliver consumers, which significantly affects reliability, stability and quality of delivered power. Different techniques such as compensation devices have been system engineers researchers maintain transmitted end users. In this paper, wattage volt-amp re...

Due to the rapid technological progress, the consumption of electric energy increases continuously. But the transmission systems are not extended to the same extent because building of new lines is difficult for environmental as well as political reasons. Hence, the systems are driven closer to their limits resulting in congestions and critical situations endangering the system security. Power ...

The objective of this study is to analyse the most appropriate power factor billing methods for large power consumers. It compares average power factor (AVPF) vizá – viz coincidental power factor (CPF), which is currently being used for billing large power consumers. The study involved downloading data from large power energy meters for both energy and demand registers recorded for the past six...

Abstract A novel control strategy of synchronous compensators and converters is proposed to increase the ability line commutated converter (LCC) based HVDC systems successfully recover from commutation failures (CFs). The dynamic var support one most important factors, which impact process. Many have been implemented enhance transient voltage stability for improving CF recovery performance. How...
