Analyses of a power system are important for designing and operating phase execution monitoring and to ensure reliable grid operations by sufficient protection projects settings. In this paper, electrical model of a 340 MW integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) located in the south of Iraq, is developed by Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) and load flow, voltage stability and short circuit analyses are performed. Impact of power grid voltage instability on system buses of the power plant is estimated. Using load flow analysis that use Newton-Raphson algorithm, buses operating at under voltage due to power grid voltage instability are specified and their voltages are improved according to given voltage limitation that are based on buses criticality with regard to loads. On-load tap changers and reactive power compensation are used to improve steady state voltage stability. Optimal position for capacitor banks placement and number of capacitor banks are proposed by using optimal capacitor placement module of ETAP. The use of modern technology and advance planning have a big impact on reducing losses. The article shows that the lack of planning is one of the main causes of energy losses. The parameters of the module also indicate the voltage limits, bus voltage and ratings of available capacitor banks. The voltage limit is set at 95% ≤ V ≤ 110%, and it is global for all buses

Voltage stability, is driven by the balance of reactive power in a transmission power grid, and depends on the reactive power produced by the power stations and the value generated by the capacitive power lines and static compensators. Of particular interest is to identify those Critical Voltage Control Areas (CVCAs) in a transmission power grid, that may suffer reactive power deficiencies. Since speed of analysis is critical for on-line applications the approach will address the development of a scheme whereby CVCAs can be identified using data mining techniques from on-line power system snapshot (PMU). The database for storing/retrieving result of Modal Analysis can be used to construct decision trees (DTs) for each of the identified CVCAs using key power system attributes. The objective of this paper is to propose an new real-time methodology for identification of CVCAs, which is key function for preventive and remedial actions against instability of the Electrical Power System (EPS). This is carried out under various system operation and contingency conditions by using off-line trained decision trees generated and on-line PMU measurements. Numerical results on the 12-bus test system, shows the suitability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Synchronous Generators

The main purpose of developing microgrids (MGs) is to facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into the power grid. RESs are normally connected to the grid via power electronic inverters. As various types of RESs are increasingly being connected to the electrical power grid, power systems of the near future will have more inverter-based generators (IBGs) instead of synchronous machines. Since IBGs have significant differences in their characteristics compared to synchronous generators (SGs), particularly concerning their inertia and capability to provide reactive power, their impacts on the system dynamics are different compared to SGs. In particular, system stability analysis will require new approaches. As such, research is currently being conducted on the stability of power systems with the inclusion of IBGs. This review article is intended to be a preface to the Special Issue on Voltage Stability of Microgrids in Power Systems. It presents a comprehensive review of the literature on voltage stability of power systems with a relatively high percentage of IBGs in the generation mix of the system. As the research is developing rapidly in this field, it is understood that by the time that this article is published, and further in the future, there will be many more new developments in this area. Certainly, other articles in this special issue will highlight some other important aspects of the voltage stability of microgrids.

Power Quality Conditioner

Wind energy system is lately receiving a lot of attention, because they are cost inexpensive, environmental safe and clean renewable energy source, as compared with nuclear and fossil fuel power generation. The operational characteristics of wind electric turbines has considerable dissatisfaction and stress on the quality of electric power system. Harmonics, variations of voltage and reactive power are most of power quality issues for grid connected with wind turbine. This paper introduces a design and simulation of unified power quality conditioner using a fuzzy controller to improve the power quality for Egyptian power grid connected to Zafarana Egypt wind system. The proposed performance of the unified power quality conditioner system is verified by simulating the model using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The simulation results showed that the proposed unified power quality conditioner provide efficient cancellation of both load current  harmonics  and supply voltage sag in addition to compensation of reactive power, and thus making the electrical grid connected wind energy system more efficient by improving the quality of power.
