Appropriate design and usage of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), which has the ability of controlling the busbar voltage levels and transmission line power flows simultaneously, provide a suitable conditions to enhance operation of restructured power systems. In this paper, a novel control method using four degrees of freedom is represented for hysteresis based UPFC as well as a straight f...

In restructured power systems, generation companies should offer a power - price curve to the market operator to participate the auction. The proposed bidding curve has a considerable impact on the unit profit, especially in pay as bid markets. The optimal bidding curve depends on the final market clearing price which is uncertain in the stage of bidding. This paper proposes a novel approach f...

many mobile and off-grid devices include electronics and other electrical consumers like servo drives, which need a quite low supply power. since the price for photovoltaic modules drops continuously, photovoltaic power supply is interesting in more and more applications. in solar powered systems, a battery is needed to store energy for the night and cloudy periods. the power electronics of suc...

Transmission system is one of the most important parts of the restructured power system. Insufficient or inappropriate expansion of transmission system is considered to be a major barrier to competition in electricity market. Therefore many researches have been focused on developing suitable approaches for transmission expansion planning in deregulated power systems. This paper presents a new ...
