Power system operators and planners have progressively shown an interest in maximizing distribution automation technologies. The automated systems (ADS) provide the capability of efficient reliable control which require optimal operation strategy to status line switches also dispatch controllable devices. Therefore, this paper introduces robust technique based on Jellyfish Search Algorithm (JFS...

The paper is concerned with defining and parametrising the families of all degenerate compensators (feedback, squaring down etc) in a variety of linear control problems. Such compensators indicate the boundaries of the control design, but they also provide the means for linearising the nonlinear nature of the Determinantal Assignment Problems, which provide the unifying description for all freq...

This paper presents an adaptive wide-area control strategy based on energy function. The proposed method enhances the post-fault oscillation damping capability of Static Var Compensators (SVC) by incorporating load dynamics in controller design that adapts to variations. are obtained using Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) through power and voltage data measurements, which used estimate a Moving A...

<p>Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices are deployed for improving power system’s stability either singly or as a combination. This research investigates hybrid FACTS and studies their impact on voltage, small-signal transient simultaneously under various disturbances. The simulations were done using five devices-static var compensator (SVC), static synchronous...

Introduction: Multilevel converters are finding considerable attention in academia and industry as one of the preferred choices for high power conversion applications, such as traction drives, active filters, reactive power compensators, photovoltaic power conversion, uninterruptible power supplies, static compensators and flexible AC transmission systems. In general, multilevel converters are ...

In this paper, the influence of Static Var Compensators (SVC) on distance relay protection when connected to sub-transmission network Nigerian 132-kV grid system is investigated. This carried out by monitoring error margin fault locator associated with protective relays SVC transmission line. The location selected such that there a common primary source power (Ikorodu-Sagamu line) and SVC, whic...

VAR support should be supplied as close to the load as possible to minimize transmission losses. For voltage control and for improvement of total power factor in a distribution system the circuit- breaker switched capacitor banks can be used. The problems with this solution are the voltage steps caused by the large sizes of the capacitor banks as well as the transients caused on insertion. Thyr...

this paper deals with the design and evaluation of a robust controller for static var compensator (svc) in remote industrial power systems to enhance the voltage profile for three-phase single cage induction motor (scim) loads. the controller design is based on h∞ theory to deal with uncertainties arising in industrial network modelling. the performance of the h∞ controller has been evaluated e...
