This paper proposes RBF-NN for classification and performance evaluation of static security assessment in deregulated power system. This study suggests an attribute selection and classification algorithms for static security evaluation (SSE) and its impact is proposed. For the base case, pure pool dispatch (with no bilateral transactions) and bilateral transaction comparisons are discussed on IEEE57- bus system. In this paper, a comprehensive comparison of AI classifiers to examine whether the power system is secured under steady-state operating conditions is presented. The proposed classifier is implemented on a 30 and 57 IEEE test system. To assess the actual overall performance regarding studying techniques, this research proposes performance evaluation schemes vis CCR, TPR and TNR and implemented on various IEEE test systems. The simulation results have shown the powerfulness of the proposed method as compare to another proposed AI classifiers.

Electrical power systems are often required to operate at full loading capacity due to ever increasing demand and transmission line contingencies with limited grid expansion. This results in line overload and operating near system limit, thereby threatening system security. Utilization of existing system can be achieved using Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices without violating system limits. This research investigation involves static security assessment of a modelled IEEE 30-bus test system in MATLAB/SIMULINK/PSAT environment. The security status with the incorporation of combined Static Var Compensator (SVC), Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) were determined. Prior to this, Contingency Severity Index (CSI) based on Performance Index (PI) of Voltage and Active Power was employed to determine the optimal location of the FACTS devices. Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) was applied to determine the optimal sizing/percentage compensation of FACTS. Subsequently, power system with and without the incorporation of FACTS devices were modelled. The ability of the compensated system to withstand credible transmission line contingencies without violating the normal operating limits (bus voltage and line thermal) was examined and presented. The paper presents how combined SVC/TCSC and an IPFC aided the power system to boost its steady state security in the face of possible line contingencies.

A static Var compensator (SVC) installed in a power transmission network can be effectively exploited to enhance the damping of low frequency electromechanical oscillations. The application of robust control theory offers more reliable and robust damping controller to achieve desired damping level considering variations in the operating conditions of power system. This paper presents a new approach to design a robust proportional-integral (PI) controller for stabilizing power system oscillations. The variability in operating conditions is captured using an interval polynomial and then, Kharitonov’s theorem is used to design the desired damping controller. The proposed method is based on plotting the stability boundary locus in the ( kp-ki) plane and then computing the stabilizing values of the parameters of a PI controller. Besides stabilization, computation of stabilizing PI controllers that achieve user specified gain margin (Gm), phase margin (Pm) and bandwidth is studied simultaneously. This novel method enables designers to make the convenient trade-off between stability and performance by choosing the proper margins and bandwidth specifications. In addition, the most appropriate stabilizing input signal is selected using Hankel singular value (HSV) and right half plane-zeros (RHP-zeros) for the SVC-based supplementary damping controller. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller are demonstrated using eigenvalue analysis and time-domain simulation for a 16 machine 68-bus test system. The simulations and analysis are implemented in matrix laboratory environment and power system analysis toolbox.
