A microgrid is a new type of power system which is formed by the interconnection of small generator to distribution systems. Microgrids are able to supply electric power to their loads independently, which is called with islanding operation, even if they're separated from the power system. As a result, microgrids must be equipped with specific islanding detection schemes for the islanding operation of microgrids. This paper studies an islanding detection method considering reactive power. The proposed method is dealing with the reactive power of the cable which connects between a microgrid and a power system. To show the validity of the proposed method, many islanding operation cases are tested by varying the load conditions of microgrids.

Recent catastrophic failures of power system in various countries highlight the importance of the voltage stability and reactive power operation. Under the emergency situations, dynamic reactive power sources such as STATCOM and SVC play important roles in supporting the system voltage. This paper investigate the stability problem in KEPCO system and suggest the installation of the dynamic reactive Power sources as a countermeasure.

This paper presents a linear programming based Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) problem using modified sensitivity method. The proposed model minimizes the real power losses and improves the voltage profiles in the system with consideration of voltage and reactive power constraints. The method employs modified sensitivity relationships of power systems to establish both the objective function for minimizing the system losses and the system performance sensitivities relating dependent and control variables. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated with the IEEE 6-bus and IEEE 30-bus systems.

This paper presents a new concept of reactive reserve based contingency constrained optimal power flow (RCCOPF) for voltage stability enhancement. This concept is based on the fact that increase in reactive reserves is effective for enhancement of voltage stability margins of post-contingent states, in this paper, the proposed algorithm is applied to voltage stability margin of interface flow. Interface flow limit, in the open access environment, can be a main drawback. RCCOPF for enhancement of interface flow margin is composed of two modules, modified continuation power flow (MCPF) and optimal power flow (OPF). These modules art recursively perform ed until satisfying the required margin of interface flow in the given voltage stability criteria.

This paper presents the optimum computational algorithm for the real time control of system voltage and reactive power on the basis of a improved search method. In particular, special emphasis has been placed on the speed up computation at the first phase, and on the selection of initial state to reduce the transmission losses in the second phase. For the real time control, the new computation is improved and the computation time is very much reduced. And also, this paper discusses the integrated control scheme of system voltage and reactive power from the viewpoint of hierarchical control pattern, and studes the combination of the optimum system operations and controls.

A wind power system with squirrel-cage induction generator has irregular change of output power according to the sudden change of wind speed. This paper describes the development of a active and reactive power compensator, which is composed of a 3-phase inverter and a bidirectional DC/DC converter with super-capacitor. The operational characteristic was analyzed through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC and experimental works with a scaled model. The developed system can continuously compensate the active power change with energy storage and the reactive power change with 3-phase inverter.

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) can inject or absorb real and reactive power to or from a power system at a very fast rate on a repetitive basis. These characteristics make the application of SMES ideal for transmission grid control and stability enhancement. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the SMES model and scheme to control the active and reactive power through the power electronic device.

This paper presents an efficient method for real power loss minimization and for improvements in voltage profiles. This method is accomplished by optimal control of reactive power in the system. The problem is formulated as an optimization problem, suitable for solution by linear programming technique.

The linear programming technique is used to determine the optimal adjustments to the above variables, simultaneously satisfying the constraints. The proposed algorithm has been tested on a sample system and the result is presented and discussed.

As a power system gets complicated and the number of regulating points increases, the voltage reactive power control tends to be more complex and more difficult. In the past, we took only the voltage regulation into account for this voltage control problem. pay attention not only to the voltage regulation but also to the rational system operation which minimizes transmission losses. Considering the rehuirements mentioned above we aim developing a method of coordination of these regulating equipments and also present some preliminary discussions aboutcomputer control of power systems which is now frequently available with the progress of digital computer technique.
