Recently, the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) device has been installed in Jiuquan wind farm in Gansu Province. To study its ability to support voltage, this paper presents a study of the mathematical model of the steady state and transient state of STATCOM and then uses the power system analysis software package (PSASP) to establish a user-defined model of STATCOM. In addition, the model is added into the power system example (CEPRI 7). After that, the power flow calculation and transient stability calculation are carried out to simulate and analyze. At last the STATCOM device is field tested in Jiuquan wind power base. Test results verify that STATCOM effectively supports the grid voltage.

<p>Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices are deployed for improving power system’s stability either singly or as a combination. This research investigates hybrid FACTS devices and studies their impact on voltage, small-signal and transient stability simultaneously under various system disturbances. The simulations were done using five FACTS devices-static var compensator (SVC), static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), static synchronous series compensators (SSSC), thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) and unified power flow controller (UPFC) in MATLAB’s power system analysis toolbox (PSAT). These five devices were grouped into ten pairs and tested on Kenya’s transmission network under specific contingencies: the loss of a major generating machine and/or transmission line. The UPFC-STATCOM pair performed the best in all the three aspects under study. The settling times were 3 seconds and 3.05 seconds respectively for voltage and rotor angle improvement on the loss of a major generator at normal operation. The same pair gave settling times of 2.11 seconds and 3.12 seconds for voltage and rotor angle stability improvement respectively on the loss of a major transmission line at 140% system loading. From the study, two novel techniques were developed: A performance-based ranking system and classification for FACTS devices.</p>

The increasing penetration of wind energy to the conventional power system due to the rapid growth of energy demand has led to the consideration of different wind turbine generator technologies. In fault conditions, the frequency of the power system decreases and eventually leads to speed differences between the grid and the interconnected wind generator. This can result to power system problems such as transient instability (TS). This paper focuses on enhancing the TS of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based power system during 3ph fault conditions using FACTS devices. The power system considered is connected to a large wind farm which is based on PMSG. Critical clearing time (CCT) is used as an index to evaluate the transient state of the system. Under the study of an IEEE-14 bus system using PSAT as a simulation tool, the integrated CCT with PMSG-based wind turbine is improved with three independent FACTS devices. One of the synchronous generators in the test system has been replaced at random with the PMSG-based wind turbine which is meant to generate an equivalent power. Time domain simulations (TDSs) were carried out considering four study cases. Simulation results show that the (CCT) of the system with the FACTS devices is longer than the CCT without them, which is an indication of TS improvement.

The main causes of wind farms disconnection from the grid is the three-phase grid faults at the point common coupling (PCC) e.g. the voltage dip. The use of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) which is from the family of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices can be used effectively in a wind park based on FSIG to provide transient voltage and to improve wind system stability. Due to the asynchronous operation nature, system instability of wind farms based on FSIG (Fixed Speed Induction Generator) is largely caused by the reactive power absorption by FSIG because due to the large rotor slip during grid fault. STATCOM contributes to control the grid voltage at PCC and maintain wind farm connection to the grid during some severe conditions of grid faults and used for power flow control and for damping power system oscillations. The evaluation of this control strategy using (STATCOM) is investigated in terms of regulation reactive power and transient stability of the wind farm during grid disturbances.

Although there are many studies on application of FACTS unit, especially application of reactive power generating unit for power system to enhance voltage stability amplitude and transient stability as considered, the evaluation and selection of suitable power generating unit (STATCOM or SVC) as well as optimal compensation size in the analysis of steady and transient state is not paid attention to. This article studies the above described issues to give a solution to install reasonable reactive power generating source (kind of Var source, location, size) for the power system. The analysis will be based on the technical factors rather than economic ones. 500kV grid system in Vietnam will be used in the calculation until 2015. To deeply evaluate, the implementation plan of reactive power compensation was only studied for 500kV grid in the South, where the load demand is large and can be dramatically increased. The results of power flow calculation, the analysis of characteristics of PV, OPF, and transient stability were studied through PSS/E-30 software.

In this paper, the influence of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL, flux-coupling type) on power system transient stability is studied in detail. The influence of SFCL to transient stability of power system is studied using a model of single generator infinite bus system, different transient stability calculation results gotten with and without SFCL and with model system in different fault conditions are compared. The results show that the SFCL can effectively reduce the transient swing amplitude of rotor and extend the critical clearance time, and the application of SFCL in the power system can help to enhance its transient stability.

The main objective of power flow control for unified power flow controller (UPFC) is to increase the transmission capacity over the existing transmission corridor or line. This paper presents a practical engineering methodology of embedding the power flow control model of UPFC into the commercial software -- power system analysis software package (PSASP) based on its user program interface (UPI) function. In the proposed methodology, the interface currents of UPFC series side and UPFC shunt side between the UPFC device and the network are used to control the transmission line power flow and UPFC bus voltage, respectively. In UPFC series side, the current of UPFC series branch is calculated from the power target equation of the controlled line. In UPFC shunt side, the shunt reactive current of UPFC is used to control the bus voltage. Simulation results on a practical power system show that the proposed methodology can be efficiently applied to the engineering research and analysis of the real power grid with UPFC with good convergence and only one control parameter needed to be prescribed.
