The Electrical power system has become vast and more complex, so it is subjected to sudden changes in load levels. Stability is an important concept which determines the stable operation of the power system. Transient stability analysis has become one of the significant studies in the power system to ensure the system stability to withstand a considerable disturbance. The effect of temporary occurrence can lead to malfunction of electronic control equipment. The application of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices in the transmission system have introduced several changes in the power system. These changes have a significant impact on the power system protection, due to differences inline impedance, line current and voltage. On the distance relaying protection system to identify essential issues that protection engineers need to consider during the stages of design and operation of the protection system. Transient analysis can be conducted using a simulation software package. One of the commercial simulation software package used by industry worldwide is Siemens Power System Simulation for Engineering (PSS/E). The object of this work is to improve the Transient stability and to clear critical fault times of the Kurdistan Region Government (KRG) network by using optimal FACTS devices in different optimal locations under fault conditions.

Due to increase in population and industrial growth, insufficient energy resources to generate or transmit the power in power system, increase in load causes power demand in the electrical power system. These power demand leads to voltage instability, increase the losses, reduces the power transfer capability and stability of the power system. To overcome this stability problem FACTS devices are optimally located in the power system to examine the stability of the system. To locate the FACTS devices different optimization algorithms are used in order to improve the stability of the electrical power system.

Power engineers are currently facing challenges to increase the power transfer capabilities of existing transmission system. Flexible AC Transmission system (FACTS) controllers can balance the power flow and thereby use the existing power system network most efficiently. Because of their fast response, FACTS controllers can also improve the stability of an electrical power system by helping critically disturbed generators to give away the excess energy gained through the acceleration during fault. Thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) is an important device in FACTS family, and is widely recognized as an effective and economical means to solve the power system stability problem. TCSC is used as series compensator in transmission system. In the present work a TCSC controller is designed and tested over a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) as well as a multi-machine power system. Detailed simulation studies are carried out with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the effect of the TCSC parameter variations over the system stability is studied.

The Vietnamese power system has experienced instabilities due to the effect of increase in peak load demand or contingency grid faults; hence, using flexible alternating-current transmission systems (FACTS) devices is a best choice for improving the stability margins. Among the FACTS devices, the thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is a series connected FACTS device widely used in power systems. However, in practice, its influence and ability depend on setting. For solving the problem, this paper proposes a relevant method for optimal setting of a single TCSC for the purpose of damping the power system oscillations. This proposed method is developed from the combination between the energy method and Hankel-norm approximation approach based on the controllability Gramian matrix considering the Lyapunov equation to search for a number of feasible locations on the small-signal stability analysis. The transient stability analysis is used to compare and determine appropriate settings through various simulation cases. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by the simulation results based on the power system simulation engineering (PSS/E) and MATLAB programs. The obtained results show that the proposed method can apply to immediately solve the difficulties encountering in the Vietnamese power system.

In this paper, the series converters of Distributed Power Flow Controller are the main object of study. Its mechanism of suppressing power system oscillations is studied by theoretical analysis and formula derivation, which relies on a single-machine infinite-bus power system, installed the series converters. Then based on the mechanism, adopting the classic PI control and the damping controller, designed the transient stability control loop for the series converters. Finally, simulations performed by PSCAD/EMTDC, the results show that DPFC device can effectively suppress oscillation and improve system stability.

<span lang="EN-US">Transient stability in power system is vital to be addressed due to large disturbances that could damage the system such as load changes and voltage increases. This paper presents a multi-machine transient stability using the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). SSSC is a device that is connected in series with the power transmission line and produces controllable voltage which contribute to a better performance in the power system stability. As a result, this research has observed a comparison of the synchronization of a three-phase system during single-phase faults before and after installing the SSSC device. In addition, this research investigates the ability of three different types of controllers i.e. Proportional Integral (PI), Proportional Integral Derivation (PID), and Generic controllers to be added to the SSSC improve the transient stability as it cannot operate by itself. This is because the improvement is too small and not able to achieve the desired output. The task presented is to improve the synchronization of the system and time taken for the voltage to stabilize due to the fault. The simulation result shows that the SSSC with an additional controller can improve the stability of a multi-machine power system in a single phase fault.</span>
