Congestion and overloading for lines are the main problems in the exploitation of power grids. The consequences of these problems in deregulated systems can be mentioned as sudden jumps in prices in some parts of the power system, lead to an increase in market power and reduction of competition in it. FACTS devices are efficient, powerful and economical tools in controlling power flows through ...

thyristor-controlled series compensator (tcsc) is one of the electric power lines series compensators. tcsc increases transmission system capacity and improves system dynamic and voltage stability. several controllers have been proposed, but most of them generally improve one of tcsc capabilities. in this paper a tcsc robust controller is designed based on nonlinear quantitative feedback theory...

This paper presents a detailed small-signal and transient analysis of a full bridge PWM DC-DC converter designed for high voltage, high power applications using an average model. The derived model is implemented in a typical system and used to produce the small-signal and transient characteristics of the converter. Results obtained in the analysis of the high voltage and high power design examp...

In this paper a comprehensive approach is presented to improve power swings damping based on direct Lyapunov method. The approach combines superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system with static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Considering the energy absorption/injection ability of SMES, in transient states the combination exchanges both active and reactive powers with power system....

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...

Turning to Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is the most logical politics in securing the modern society from critical changes in earth increasing temperature. However, Distributed Generation (DG) sources could lead to new challenges in electricity network, mainly allocation of DG sources in distribution level of power system will set the existing network under stress of power flow parameters. The...
