This paper deals with multiobjective nonlinear system identification applied when modelling the relation of firing angle and equivalent reactance of a thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC). The mathematical representation chosen is NARMAX (Nonlinear AutoRegressive Moving Average with eXogenous inputs) due to its capability in modelling nonlinear systems and in using prior information. Th...

Services now account for more than half of the U.S. economy. “Services Computing has become a cross-discipline that covers the science and technology of Services Innovation Research, which leverages IT and computing technology to model, create, and manage business solutions, scientific applications, as well as modernized services.

This paper aims to select the optimal location and setting parameters of TCSC (Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator) controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to mitigate small signal oscillations in a multimachine power system. Though Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are prime choice in this issue, installation of FACTS device has been suggested here in or...

This paper describes a new relaying algorithm for the protection of transmission lines with a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC). The algorithm is based on the pattern of traveling waves generated during a fault event. Several tools like modal analysis, the discrete wavelet transform and a probabilistic neural network trained to work with the energy contained in the wavelet transfor...

In a deregulated power systems environment, congestion management is one of the technical problem needs to maintain a system as stable condition. One of the objective functions in congestion management is N-1 contingency analysis. Using N-1 contingency analysis find out the worst line outage and analysis that line, maintain the whole system as stable after the line outage. Two types of Methodol...

In deregulated operating regime power system security is an issue that needs due thoughtfulness from researchers in the horizon of unbundling of generation and transmission. Electric power systems are exposed to various contingencies. Network contingencies often contribute to overloading of branches, violation of voltages and also leading to problems of security/stability. To maintain the secur...

Power system is subjected to sudden changes in load levels. Stability is an important concept which determines the stable operation of power system. In general rotor angle stability is taken as index, but the concept of transient stability, which is the function of operating condition and disturbances deals with the ability of the system to remain intact after being subjected to abnormal deviat...

The proliferation of compensators, due to their nonlinear characteristics raises concern over the distortion levels they cause in voltages and currents at the transmission level. In this paper, series compensation by Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and shunt compensation by STATCOM are investigated in terms of power quality and their effects on protective relays behavior. For each ...
