This paper describes the use of direct method based on energy function type Lyapunov to evaluate the Critical Clearing Time (CCT) of power system subjected to large contingencies. The two axes model of generator with speed and excitation regulation systems is considered in this study. The power system model takes in consideration the presence of a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). An energy...

-In this paper, the critical clearing time, tcc in power system transient stability analysis is modeled as a random variable due to the randomness nature of power system load. A linear approximation approach that mainly involves the sensitivity calculation of the derivative of tcc to system load is developed to obtain the probability density function (pdf) of tcc based on the pdf of system load...

This paper proposes a new method for transient stability analysis for electric power systems. Different from existing methods, a minimization problem is formulated for obtaining critical conditions for transient stability. The method is based on the computation of a trajectory on the stability boundary, which is referred to as critical trajectory in this paper. The critical trajectory is define...

This study tests four hypotheses related to forest clearing over time in Ecuador's northern Amazon: (1) a larger increase in population over time on a farm (finca) leads to more deforestation; (2) rates of forest clearing surrounding four primary reference communities differ (spatial heterogeneity); (3) fincas farther from towns/communities experience lower rates of forest clearing over time; a...

The effect of line impedance compensation mode of series inverter along with the voltage regulation mode of shunt inverter of UPFC is investigated for transient stability improvement of Single Machine Infinite Bus System. Four control modes like perpendicular voltage or phase angle control etc have also been discussed. The effect of line impedance mode on critical clearing time with a three pha...

This paper proposes the energy function of a power system with a Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). They make it possible for the direct method to acquire the transient stability or critical clearing time assessment of a power system. The proposed energy function of a power system with a SSSC is first derived and then it is used for SSSC control design. The proposed method is tested ...

In this paper, authors present a comparative study of inductive and resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) from current limitation and power system transient stability point of view. Different types of SFCL can be used to decrease the amplitude of fault current in a power system. The two most used are resistive type (rSFCL) and inductive type (iSFCL). However, no studies have b...
