The distributed flexible alternative current transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently developed FACTS technology. Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC) is one example of DFACTS devices. DSSC functions in the same way as a Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), but is smaller in size, lower in price, and possesses more capabilities. Likewise, DSSC lies in transmission lines in a distributed manner. In this work, we designed a fuzzy logic controller to use the DSSC for enhancing transient stability in a two-machine, two-area power system. The parameters of the fuzzy logic controller are varied widely by a suitable choice of membership function and parameters in the rule base. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fuzzy controller for transient stability enhancement by DSSC.

This paper presents a generation rescheduling method for the enhancement of transient stability in power systems. The priority and the candidate generators for rescheduling are calculated by using the energy margin sensitivity. The generation rescheduling formulates the Lagrangian function with the fuel cost and emission such as NO_x and SO_x from power plants. The generation rescheduling searches for the solution that minimizes the Lagrangian function by using the Newton’s approach. While the Pareto optimum in the fuel cost and emission minimization has a drawback of finding a number of non-dominated solutions, the proposed approach can explore the non-inferior solutions of the multiobjective optimization problem more efficiently. The method proposed is applied to a 4-machine 6-bus system to demonstrate its effectiveness.

전력계통의 과도안정도를 향상시키기 위한 종래의 방법은 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator), SVC(Static Var Compensator)와 같은 무효전력 보상장치를 이용하는 것이다. 하지만 무효전력 보상장치에 기반한 전통적인 방법은 대형 전동기의 트립에 의한 급격한 전압붕괴를 막을 수 없다. 반면에 에너지 저장시스템은 무효전력과 유효전력을 동시에 공급할 수 있다. 전력계통의 사고 시 유효전력의 빠른 공급은 과도안정도 향상에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 대형 전동기부하와 같은 큰 동적부하를 가지는 전력계통에 대하여 에너지저장시스템을 사용한 과도 안정도 향상방법을 제시한다. 또한 유효전력과 무효전력을 보상하는 방법이 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적으로 과도 안정도를 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

This paper presents preventive and emergency control measures for on line transient stability (security) enhancement. For insecure operating state, generation rescheduling based on a real power generation shift factor (RPGSF) is proposed as a preventive control measure to bring the system back to secure operating state. For emergency operating state, two emergency control strategies namely generator shedding and load shedding have been developed. The proposed emergency control strategies are based on voltage magnitudes and rotor trajectories data available through Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) installed in the systems. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been investigated on IEEE-39 bus test system under different contingency and fault conditions and application results are presented.

풍력단지가 연계된 전력계통의 과도안정도를 보장하기 위해서는 전력계통과 풍력단지의 접속점에 풍력발전기가 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 개별의 풍력터빈은 안정도를 유지하기 위한 충분한 무효전력 공급능력을 가지지 못한다. 또한 풍력단지와 접속점 사이의 케이블은 리액턴스가 크고 이에 따른 무효전력 손실도 크다. STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)은 고속으로 동작할 수 있고 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 능력을 가지고 있기 때문에 과도안정도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 풍력단지가 연계된 전력계통의 과도안정도 향상에 있어서 STATCOM의 유효성을 보인다. 접속점에 STATCOM을 설치하고 동적 모의를 한 결과 과도 안정도가 향상되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Reactive power support is considered to be necessary for dealing with a voltage stability issue with wind turbine system employing squirrel-cage induction generator(SCIG). This paper analyses steady-state characteristics of the SCIG wind turbine system by simulating torque-slip characteristics of SCIG with respect to variations of interconnecting network strength and generator terminal voltage. It also presents dynamics analysis of SCIG wind turbine system on Simulink to investigate the impact of static var compensator(SVC) and static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) on transient stability enhancement. It analysed transient stability with varying fault duration times and compared the transient stability characteristics with varying rated capacities of SVC and STATCOM. It is shown that the STATCOM has a better performance and reactive power support compared to SVC.

Solid-state fault current limiters (SSFCL) in power systems are alternative devices to limit prospective short circuit currents from reaching lower levels. Fault current limiters (FCL) can be classified into two categories: R-type (resistive) FCLs and L-type (inductive) FCLs. L-type FCL uses an inductor to limit fault level and is more efficient in suppressing voltage drop during a fault. In contrast, R-type FCL is constructed with a resistance and is more effective in consuming the acceleration energy of generators during a fault. Both functions enhance the transient stability of the power system. In the present paper, a novel SSFCL is proposed to enhance power system transient stability and power quality. The proposed SSFCL uses both functions of an L-type and R-type FCL. SSFCL consists of four diodes, one self-turn-off IGCT, a current-limiting by-pass inductor (L), and a variable resistance parallel with an inductor for improvement of power system stability and prevention of over-voltage across SSFCL. The main advantages of the proposed SSFCL are the simplicity of its structure and control, low steady-state impedance, fast response, and the existence of R-type and Ltype impedances during the fault, all of which improve power system stability and power quality. Simulations are accomplished in PSCAD/EMTDC.

전력계통의 과도안정도를 향상시키기 위해 종래에는 무효전력 보상장치를 설치하는 방법을 주로 사용하였다. 전통적인 무효전력 보상장치 중 SVC(Static Var Compensator), 변압기의 탭 변환기는 값이 싸고 기계적 스위칭으로 동작하여 속도가 느리다는 단점이 있고, 전력전자기술을 바탕으로 하는 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)은 고속으로 동작할 수 있는 장점이 있어 최근에 각광을 받고 있지만 고가의 장치라는 단점이 있다. 또한, 무효전력 보상장치에 기반한 전통적인 방법은 무효전력만을 공급하여 과도안정도를 향상시키기에 대형 전동기의 트립에 의한 급격한 전압붕괴를 막을 수 없다. 반면에 에너지 저장시스템은 무효전력과 유효전력을 동시에 공급할 수 있다. 즉, 선로사고로 인하여 부하에 유효전력의 공급이 감소하는 것을 ESS을 통한 유효전력을 공급함과 동시에 적절한 무효전력의 공급을 통하여 과도안정도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 전력계통의 사고 시 유효전력의 빠른 공급은 과도안정도 향상에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 대형 전동기 부하와 같은 큰 동적부하를 가지는 전력계통에 대하여 에너지저장시스템을 사용한 과도안정도 향상방법을 제시한다. 또한, 유효전력과 무효전력을 보상하는 방법이 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적으로 과도안정도를 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a method for optima] placement of series capacitors in order to improve the power system transient stability, using genetic algorithms. For the formulation, this paper considers the objective function which is the energy margin as the difference between transient energy and critical energy. The most important factor in determining an accurate critical energy is the controlling unstable equilibrium point (UEP). This paper proposes the controlling UEP methods, concurrently with the DFP(Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) method, which enables the enhancement of multi-machine analysis. The proposed method is applied to 6-bus, 7-line, 4-machine model system to show its effectiveness in determining the locations to install series capacitors and the it's size to be installed in system, simultaneously.
