An optimal procedure for designing coordinated output feedback damping controllers of power system stabilizer (PSS) and STATCOM is developed for achieving and enhancing dynamic stability in single-machine infinite-bus power system. The coordinated design problem of STATCOM and PSS with output feedback controllers over a wide range of loading conditions is formulated as an optimization problem w...

In this paper, an operation methodology of a STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) is proposed for reduction in Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in power systems. For achieving this objective a comparison is made between two different configurations of Statcom.One is made up of two sets of three-level 12-pulse converter considering magnetic saturation and other is made up of two sets of three...

When integrated to the power system, large wind farms pose stability and control issues. A thorough study is needed to identify the potential problems and to develop measures to mitigate them. Although integration of high levels of wind power into an existing transmission system does not require a major redesign, it necessitates additional control and compensating equipment to enable recovery f...

This paper presents the application of neural networks for controlling the static synchronous compensator (StatCom) device. The primary duty of the StatCom is the regulation of the AC bus bar voltage where the device is connected. Additionally, a secondary task may be added to such device for obtaining a positive interaction with other controllers in order to mitigate low frequency oscillations...

Renewable energy sources are alternative energy source, can bring new challenges when it is connected to the power grid. Generated power from wind energy system is always fluctuating due to the fluctuations in the wind. According to the guidelines specified in IEC61400 standard (International Electro-technical Commission) provides some norms and measurements. The performance of the wind turbine...

− The study presented in this paper aims to develop a new method for active and reactive power balancing in a four-wire stand-alone microgrid (MG), which feds single phase loads. Two unbalance compensation controllers are used, for active and reactive powers. The compensation is based on a dump load (DL) and a static compensator (STATCOM), which ensure the balance of the active and reactive pow...

The stability related issues may occur in a power system due to disturbances generating or loading conditions, especially the presence of distributed generation (DG) based on renewable energy resources (RERs). This paper proposes novel strategy for enhancement wind (WPGS) by using combination three devices, namely, stabilizer (PSS), resistive superconductor fault current limiter (R-SFCL) and st...
