Delay Margin

The application of the phasor measurement units and the wide expansion of the wide area measurement units make the time delay inevitable in power systems. The time delay could result in poor system performance or at worst lead to system instability. Therefore, it is important to determine the maximum time delay margin required for the system stability. In this paper, we present a new method for determining the delay margin in the power system. The method is based on the analysis in the s-domain. The transcendental time delay characteristics equation is transformed to a frequency dependent equation. The spectral radius is used to find the frequencies at which the roots cross the imaginary axis. The crossing frequencies are determined through the sweeping test and the binary iteration algorithm. A single machine infinite bus system equipped with automatic voltage regulator and power system stabilizer is chosen as a case study. The delay margin is calculated for different values of the power system stabilizer (PSS) gain, and it is found that increasing the PSS gain decreases the delay margin. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been proved through comparing it with the most recent published methods. The method shows its merit with less conservativeness and fewer computations.

Participation Factor

Power system stabilizer in a power system is a closed-loop controller. The conventional participation factor method just considers the effect of PSS input signal. When the system stress is heavier, it may give misleading results. Based on the participation factor of modal analysis, an integrative participation factor is proposed to determine the optimum PSS location. The integrative participation factor takes into account both the input and control effect of PSS controllers. The case studied in 2-area 4-generator power system power system confirms that the integrative participation factor is more reasonable and effective than the participation factor method.

Power System Oscillations

Abstract Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are used to enhance damping of power system oscillations. This paper presents a new fast algorithm to develop PSS. According to this regard, Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA) is used to detect optimum Power System Stabilizer parameters. For this purpose, the design problem of PSS is formulated as an optimization problem and WCA by forming three subsidiary objective functions is employed to search for optimal power system stabilizer’s parameters to minimize the maximum overshoot and settling time together. In order to show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, a comparison between WCA and without PSS condition has been done, and the results of proposed algorithm show that it detects optimum parameters in reasonable computation time to increase the power system stability.
