<p><em>The main objective of this research work is to develop a simple power systems steady state stability estimator in LabView for three phase power system network. LabVIEW based power systems stability estimator has been chosen as the main platform because it is a user friendly and easy to apply in power systems. This research work is intended to simultaneously acclimate the power system engineers with the utilization of LabVIEW with electrical power systems. This proposed work will discuss about the configuration and the improvement of the intelligent instructional VI (virtual instrument) modules in power systems for power systems stability solutions. In the proposed model power systems stability has been carried out and model has been developed such that it can accommodate the latest versions of power systems stability algorithms.</em></p>

Electrical power systems are exposed to several events that can cause unstable operation scenarios. This is due to improper operation of certain components. If an event occurs, the system must be designed to overcome that contingency, thus remaining in a permanent condition that must be evaluated in order to monitor and prevent a possible collapse of the system. An evaluation of steady state stability is proposed at this work based on the capacity curves of generators, transformers and transmission lines. These remarked curves provide information on the operation point of these elements, thus allowing the application of remedial actions. PowerFactory and Matlab are used to carry out the tool for monitoring the operation points after a contingency. The effectiveness of the developed tool is validated at the IEEE 39-bus power system model, where results shows that the functionalaty for different contingencies based on the operating conditions when the components of the power system are varied, cosnquently, the tool identifies cases that require actions at the operational level.

One of the key functions of the Distribution System Operators (DSOs) of<br />electrical power systems (EPS) is to minimize the transmission and<br />distribution power losses and consequently the operational cost. This<br />objective can be reached by operating the system in an optimal mode which is performed by adjusting control parameters such as on-load tap changer (OLTC) settings of transformers, generator excitation levels, and VAR compensators switching. The deviation from operation optimality will result in additional losses and additional operational cost of the power system. Reduction of the operational cost increases the power system efficiency and provides a significant reduction in total energy consumption. This paper proposes a mathematical model for minimizing the additional (add-on) costs based on Design of Experiments (DOE). The relation between add-on operational costs and OLTC settings is established by means of regression statistical analysis. The developed model is applied to a 20-bustest network. The regression curve fitting procedure requires simulation experiments which have been carried out by the DigSilent PowerFactory 13.2 Program for performing network power flow. The results show the effectiveness of the model. The research work raises the importance the power system operation management of the EPS where the Distribution System Operator can avoid the add-on operational costs by continuous correction to get an operation mode close to optimality.

Electrical power systems are susceptible to faults caused, for example, by storm, pollution, vandalism, lightning, salt spray, etc. The unscheduled interruption in the supply of electricity to consumers, whether industrial, residential, or commercial, entails severe fines for the transmission utility and/or electricity distributor, imposed by the regulatory agency. Thus, the EPS must have a well-dimensioned protection system, capable of identifying the fault, which is characterized by a single-phase, two-phase, three-phase short circuit, among others, and interrupt the missing section in the minimum time so that the effects of this lack are as small as possible for the SEP, especially with regard to its integrity and operational security.

The trend of increasing demand creates a gap between generation and load in the field of electrical power systems. This is one of the significant problems for the science, where it require to add new generating units or use of novel automation technology for the better utilization of the existing generating units. The automation technology highly recommends the use of speedy and effective algorithms in optimal parameter adjustment for the system components. So newly developed nature inspired Bat Algorithm (BA) applied to discover the control parameters. In this scenario, this paper considers the minimization of real power generation cost with emission as an objective. Further, to improve the power system performance and reduction in the emission, two of the thermal plants were replaced with wind power plants. In addition, to boost the voltage profile, Static VAR Compensator (SVC) has been integrated. The proposed case study, i.e., considering wind plant and SVC with BA, is applied on the IEEE30 bus system. Due to the incorporation of wind plants into the system, the emission output is reduced, and with the application of SVC voltage profile improved.

In this paper, a new steady-state model of a three-phase asynchronous motor is proposed to be used in the studies of electrical power systems. The model allows for obtaining the response of the demand for active and reactive power as a function of voltage and frequency. The contribution of the model is the integration of the characteristics of the mechanical load that can drive motors, either constant or variable load. The model was evaluated on a 2500 kW and 6000 V motor, for the two types of mechanical load, in a wide range of voltage and frequency, as well as four load factors. As a result of the evaluation, it was possible to verify that, for the nominal frequency and voltage variation, the type of load does not influence the behavior of the powers and that the reactive power is very sensitive to the voltage variation. In the nominal voltage and frequency deviation scenario, it was found that the type of load influences the behavior of the active and reactive power, especially in the variable load. The results demonstrate the importance of considering the model proposed in the simulation software of electrical power systems.

Many of disasters are related to electrical power systems. They affect human life and economy. In order to reduce the negative impacts caused by the failure of electricity power system due to disasters and to create a robust electrical power system, selecting the best relay of electricity power is a must. This study identified the best protective relay of electrical power systems of PLN in Surakarta region by applying analytic hierarchy process (AHP), one of MCDM approaches, combined with fuzzy logic. Extent analysis approach was implemented to derive priorities of various criteria, sub-criteria and alternatives. Three relays being considered in the selection process are electromagnetic relay, digital relay and static relay. Four criteria in this study are techno-economy, fault frequency, protection of transmission line and advantage of relay over others. Meanwhile, five sub-criteria for each criterion are reliability, selectivity, sensitivity, working speed and efficient. Based on the criteria and sub-criteria, it can be inferred that in terms of four working areas of PLN management in Surakarta region, digital relay is seen as the best choice of relays.

Publicly available grid datasets with electric steady-state equivalent circuit models are crucial for the development and comparison of a variety of power system simulation tools and algorithms. Such algorithms are essential to analyze and improve the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in electrical power systems. Increased penetration of DERs, new technologies, and changing regulatory frameworks require the continuous development of the grid infrastructure. As a result, the number and versatility of grid datasets, which are required in power system research, increases. Furthermore, the used grids are created by different methods and intentions. This paper gives orientation within these developments: First, a concise overview of well-known, publicly available grid datasets is provided. Second, background information on the compilation of the grid datasets, including different methods, intentions and data origins, is reviewed and characterized. Third, common terms to describe electric steady-state distribution grids, such as representative grid or benchmark grid, are assembled and reviewed. Recommendations for the use of these grid terms are made.
