scholarly journals Prediction of Transient Stability Using Wide Area Measurements Based on ANN

The concept of wide-area control and protection as an application on real-time wide-area measurement systems makes the transient stability prediction more accurate in early time after fault occurrences. The transient prediction is the first step in the dynamic control system to avoid any unwanted emergency or non-stable power system state. In this paper, an early predictionof the power system stability once the fault cleaning using real-time dynamic data collected by WAMS is proposed based on an artificial neural network (ANN). The dataset collected by the different contingency analyses on the IEEE 39 bus test system is used to train a multilayer perceptron network. Pre-fault, during- fault, and post-fault generators' speeds are fed to ANN as inputs, and the status of the overall system, either stable or not, is the output of ANN. The proposed model can predict an unstable state within 100 ms after the fault. NEPLAN simulator is used to simulate the dynamic analysis ofthe IEEE 39-Bus test system, and MATLAB 2019a is used to design the ANN.

Controlled islanding has been proposed as a last resort action to stop blackouts from happening when all standard methods have failed. Successful controlled islanding has to deal with three important issues: when, and where to island, and the evaluation of the dynamic stability in each island after islanding. This paper provides a framework for preventing wide-area blackouts using wide area measurement systems (WAMS), which consists of three stages to execute a successful islanding strategy. Normally, power system collapses and blackouts occur shortly after a cascading outage stage. Using such circumstances, an adapted single machine equivalent (SIME) method was used online to determine transient stability before blackout was imminent, and was then employed to determine when to island based on transient instability. In addition, SIME was adopted to assess the dynamic stability in each island after islanding, and to confirm that the chosen candidate island cutsets were stable before controlled islanding was undertaken. To decide where to island, all possible islanding cutsets were provided using the power flow (PF) tracing method. SIME helped to find the best candidate islanding cutset with the minimal PF imbalance, which is also a transiently stable islanding strategy. In case no possible island cutset existed, corresponding corrective actions such as load shedding and critical generator tripping, were performed in each formed island. Finally, an IEEE 39-bus power system with 10 units was employed to test this framework for a three-stage controlled islanding strategy to prevent imminent blackouts.

The renewed quest for situational awareness in power systems has brought about the use of digital signal processing of power system measurements, and the transmission of such data to control centres via communication networks. At the control centres, power system stability algorithms are executed to provide monitoring, protection, and control in order to prevent blackouts. This can be achieved by upgrading the existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems through the deployment of newly proposed power system synchrophasor-based applications for Wide Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control (WAMPAC). However, this can only be done when there is a complete understanding of the methods and technologies associated with the communication network, message structure, and formats required. This paper presents an analysis of the IEEE C37.118 synchrophasor message framework, message formats, and data communication of synchrophasor measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) for WAMPAC schemes in smart grids. A newly designed lab-scale testbed is implemented and used in the practical experimentation relating to this paper. Synchrophasor measurements from the PMUs are captured using a network protocol analyzer software-Wireshark, and the compliance of the synchrophasor message structures and formats captured was compared to the specifications defined in the IEEE C37.118 synchrophasor standard.

It is very important to take into consideration time delay in wide area power system stability; the design of PSS (Power System Stabilizer) should consider global optimization with WAMS (Wide Area Measurement System) time delay. Newly designed PSS should be insensitive to time delay and suppress internal low frequency oscillations. It is used as feedback signal and is real-time synchronous that WAMS signal shows. Power system is modeled with the consideration of time delay. LMI (Linear Matrix Inequalities) is used to solve the stability condition of time delay system. Based on the time-delay effect of the wide-area measurement signals, this paper redesigned the PSS with global optimization of power system. The attached two-area-four-machine system simulation illustrates that wide-area PSS designed by global optimization with the consideration of time-delay can limit internal low frequency oscillation with time-delay insensitivity, and improve the stability of power system. It implements global optimization of PSS with WAMS time delay stability.

Transient stability is recognized as a critical problem for modern electrical power systems, since the deregulation could involve more and more restricted margins. Continuous improvements in power electronics technology gives the possibility to improve significantly the dynamic behaviour. Recently, a great attention in the relevant literature has been paid to Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) devices, showing their intrinsic ability to improve power transmission capability. In the paper, a control strategy for these devices is derived starting from a Control Lyapunov function, thus determining reference values for SMES active and reactive powers injections, able to counteract the effects of large disturbances. Hence, a new topology of the power conditioning system for interfacing SMES device with a power system is proposed. Finally, a control law based upon quasi-sliding technique is employed for tracking the required active and reactive powers. In the last part of the paper an application is presented, with reference to a test system, allowing to outline the flexibility and the goodness of the proposed control strategy.


In this paper, researcher designed a delay-dependent wide-area damping controller based on Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) to enhance the power system stability by using remote signal obtained from Wide-Area Measurement System (WAMS). This remote signals introduces a time delay in the feedback signal, as a result, degrade the system damping performance and even causes instability of close loop power system. To find out various controller parameters, use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) is adopted. The performance of Multi-Machines system is evaluated with proposed controller including signal delay and Conventional PSS(CPSS) in MATLAB simulation. Various results show that SSSC based controller damp-out the inter-area oscillations under small disturbance more effectively as compare to LPSS
