The optimal coordinated tuning of a group of Static Var Compensators (SVC), in steady state, allows the Power Electric Systems (PES) to operate close to their overload limits, maintaining the voltage stability in several operating conditions. The mentioned tuning problem was considered as a Multiobjective Optimization Problem (MOP) with three objectives to optimize: the financial investment for...

During the last decade power system have been equipped with complex components such as Distribution Static Var Compensators (D-SVCs). These components have introduced new possibilities to control power systems, D-SVCs can almost continuously change the amount of reactive power from capacitor banks. The behavior of these new components is different from 'old' technologies since they contain powe...

A quantized controller is a model-free controller which can provide a nonlinear control. This paper conduct a preliminary study on using the quantized controller in the Static VAR Compensators (SVC) control to enhance the damping of the power-swing. The test system used is a two area multi-machine system. A severe disturbance is introduced into the power system and the quantized controller cont...

The static var compensators SVC are FACTS devices in shunt connection which can be used for power system enhancement. The paper investigates a modern approach for SVC control using fuzzy logic based controller. The simulations and effects of shunt compensation on power system transmission stability are also presented. The SVC modeled in the paper is a TCR-FC type with two components: the thyris...

Due to the continuous increment of the load demand, identification of weaker buses, improvement of voltage profile and power losses in the context of the voltage stability problems has become one of the major concerns for the larger, complex, interconnected power systems. If the voltage profile of the weaker buses is improved, the voltage stability can be improved significantly. Because of the ...

Many of papers refers to study of application for FACTS. Especially for using reactive compensators for 500KV power system in order to increase the static voltage stability margin and transient stability enhancement have considered. However the selection of suitable Var source (STATCOM or SVC) also need to be considered. The purpose of this paper is to solve the above problems in order to sugge...

This paper introduces an augmented formulation to directly compute instability points in power systems. The formulation is an extension of the direct \Point of Collapse" formulation for the computation of static system instabilities. The paper demonstrates the differences between purely static limits (based on power ow Jacobians) and steady-state dynamic instability points (based on eigenvalue ...
