Competition is on rise in generation and distribution, which results huge transactions. Nonetheless, transmission lines are overloaded, since transmission system provides access of electricity having limited corridors. Consequently, the probability of congestion tends to be prominent. Congestion in transmission corridors not only causes collapse of that particular area but affects other area as...

This paper presents a comparative study of the performance of distance relays for transmission line high voltage (HV) 400 kV in Eastern Algerian transmission networks at Group Sonelgaz compensated by two different series Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) i.e. GTO Controlled Series Capacitor (GCSC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) connected at midpoint of an electrical tran...

This paper deals with the loss allocation problem of any interconnected power system. In this paper, an attempt is made to minimize the transmission line loss using FACTS controllers. Two most commonly used FACTS controllers; TCSC and STATCOM are utilized here to reduce the loss. The contribution of system generators at a particular operating load has been calculated using power tracing algorit...

This paper presents a new approach for the protection of Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) line using Support Vector Machine (SVM). One SVM is trained for fault classification and another for section identification. This method use three phase current measurement that results in better speed and accuracy than other SVM based methods which used single phase current measurement. This...

Loss minimization in power system is an important research issue. Transmission line losses in a power system can be minimized by means of reactive power compensation. The continuous demand in electric power system network has caused it to be heavily loaded leading to voltage instability. This phenomenon has also led to voltage profile depreciation below the acceptable secure limit. The signific...

This paper presents a new scheme of thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC)-based damping controller for inter-area oscillations in bulk power systems based on wide area measurement system (WAMS). In this regard, the proposed provides an adaptive three-phase step through real-time working mode. first step, by proposing dynamic clustering-based technique, signals evaluate which procedure...

With the introduction of competition in the existing electrical market, it becomes necessary to enhance the transmission capacity of the power system through the existing transmission lines. The utilization of FACTS technologies can have significant impact on power system reliability. Low cost and feasibly better improvement can be achieved by using power electronics based devices in the system...

A new approach for protection of transmission line including TCSC is presented in this paper. The proposed method includes application of Fuzzy Neural Network for distance relaying of a transmission line operating with a thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) protected by MOVs. Here the fuzzy neural network (FNN) is used for calculating fault location on the TCSC line. The FNN structure i...
