With the ever increasing complexities in power systems across the globe and the growing need to provide stable, secure, controlled, economic and high quality power especially in the deregulated power market. It is envisaged that FACTS controllers will play a vital role in power systems. This paper investigates the improvement of transient stability of a test system under three phase fault using...

This paper presents an AC Transmission system power flow controlled by injecting a compensating voltage in series with the line and injecting reactive power in shunt with the bus. Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) are utilized as a series and shunt compensation, respectively while Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is considered as a shu...

Satisfactory damping of power oscillations is an important issue to be addressed when dealing with the angle stability of power systems. This phenomenon is well-known and observable especially when a fault occurs. To improve the damping of oscillations in power systems, supplementary control laws can be applied to existing devices. These supplementary actions are referred to as power oscillatio...

In this article is proposed a Centralized Sliding Mode Control (CSMC) applied to a UPFC device for controlling power flow and enhancing power system stability. First, we establish a state-space dynamic model of UPFC based on Kirchhoff’s equations and (d-q) transformation. This model includes the two voltage source inverters and the DC bus voltage link. Furthermore, in order to cancel the effect...

The paper presents an investigation in to the effect of neural network predictive control of UPFC on the transient stability performance of a multimachine power system. The proposed controller consists of a neural network model of the test system. This model is used to predict the future control inputs using the damped Gauss-Newton method which employs ‘backtracking’ as the line search method f...

A power system always contains parametric uncertainties. In the design of a controller the uncertainties have to be considered. Otherwise, if the real plant differs from the assumed plant model, a controller, designed based on classical controller design approaches, may not ensure the stability of the overall system. In this paper design of robust control for the UPFC controllers including powe...

With an increase in power transfer, transient stability is increasingly becoming important for secure operation. With the advent of FACTS devices, the problem of transient stability is being addressed and efforts are under way to utilize the systems to their full capacity. The focus of this work is a neural network predictive controller for a versatile FACTs device, Unified Power Flow Controlle...

A modified particle swarm optimization is proposed and used for coordinated designing of the power system stabilizer and unified power flow controller as a damping controller in the multi-machine power system. For evaluation of the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controllers, their performances have been tested on a weakly connected power system subjected to different disturbances....
