Abstract— It is widely accepted that transient stability is an important aspect in designing and upgrading electric power system. This paper covers the modeling and the transient stability analysis of the wind integrated IEEE 14 test bus system using Matlab Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) package. A three-phase fault is applied in the test system and stability is analyzed. Later, area cont...

For multi-objective optimal reactive power dispatch (MORPD), a new approach is proposed where simultaneous minimization of the active power transmission loss, the bus voltage deviation and the voltage stability index of a power system are achieved. Optimal settings of continuous and discrete control variables (e.g. generator voltages, tap positions of tap changing transformers and the number of...

voltage stability may be improved by various control functions. in this paper, it is shown that how high side voltage control (hivc) may be employed for this purpose. two test systems, namely a 22- bus and ieee u8-bus systems are used to demonstrate the proposed tuning strategy for hsvc control parameters.

In this paper, the new hybrid particle swarm optimization (hybrid-PSO) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), evolutionary programming (EP), and tabu search (TS) is developed. Hybrid-PSO is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of multi-type flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers for simultaneously maximizing the power transfer capability of power transactions between g...

The harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. This paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. The objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

In this paper principles of extended Kalman filtering theory is developed and applied to simulated on-line electric power systems state estimation in order to trace the operating condition changes through the redundant and noisy measurements. Test results on IEEE 14 - bus test system are included. Three case systems are tried; through the comparing of their results, it is concluded that the pro...

This paper presents a new metaheuristic algorithm called BAT search Algorithm (BAT). The BAT search algorithm is used to solve Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem with the Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC). The TCSC is used to reduce the transmission line losses and improve the voltage profile of the power system. The effectiveness of the BAT Algorithm has been tested for various bus sy...

This paper proposes a vector-controlled distributed generator (DG) model for a power flow based on a three-phase current injection method (TCIM). In order to represent the DG models in the power flow, steady-state phase current output equations are formulated. Using these equations, the TCIM power flow formulation is modified to include the DG models. In the proposed power flow, a DG-connected ...

In this paper, the reconfiguration of distribution networks in order to optimize several aspects of its operation is presented. The proposed methodology based on genetic algorithms finds the optimal reconfiguration for networks which have a radial topology, taking in consideration the expected occurrence of voltage sags reduction and also the real power losses.
