Power system engineers are currently facing challenges to increase the power transfer capabilities of existing transmission system. This is where the Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology comes into effect. With relatively low investment, compared to new transmission or generation facilities, the FACTS technology allows the industries to better utilize the existing transmission an...

This paper presents a framework to carry out an novel method based Optimal Power Flow (OPF) for transmission congestion management in deregulated power system using Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Generation Rescheduling. In the deregulated environment, some generators may not be willing to participate in the congestion management process for their own economic interest or some...

Accumulated evidence suggests that in addition to hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), bone marrow (BM) also harbors endothelial stem cells (ESC), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), multipotential adult progenitor cells (MAPC), pluripotent stem cells (PCS) as well as tissue committed stem cells (TCSC) recently identified by us. In this review we discuss the similarities and differences between these cell...

Instead of building new substations or transmission lines, proper installation of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices can make the transmission networks accommodate more power transfers with less expansion cost. In this paper, the problem to maximize power system loadability by optimally installing two types of FACTS devices, namely static var compensator (SVC) and thyristor contro...

Existence of many different Operators in the new electricity has brought many challenges in the system operation and control to obtain minimum generation cost and security. With the growing demand of electricity in the competitive electricity market environment, one or more transmission lines could be overloaded, therefore causing congestion. The congestion can be eliminated/alleviated by impro...

This paper presents the transient stability assessment of TCPST, UPFC and TCSC. The control laws based on few assumptions were applied and have been found to be effective for power oscillation damping for large and small signals. The bang-bang control strategy is used for IPFC in which the injected voltage magnitudes were kept constant and only one of voltage angles was varied. The results of t...

Inter-area oscillation is a serious problem that threatens power system. Appropriate damping control of the inter-area would ensure grid stability and maintain tie-line transfer capability. In this paper, novel reinforcement learning (RL) based (POD) controller proposed uses Thyristor Controlled Series Compensators (TCSC) to damp oscillations. By leveraging unbiased gradient direction estimatio...

In this article, coordinated tuning of power system stabilizer (PSS) with static var compensator (SVC) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) in multi-machine power system is proposed. The design of proposed coordinated damping controller is formulated as an optimization problem and the controller gains are optimized instantaneously using advanced adaptive particle swarm optimization ...
