The transient stability of the 12-bus Algerian southeast power system is studied in this paper. This electrical system has abundant reactive power due to the long transmission lines and generators’ voltage. This capacitive power increases bus voltage which leads to network instability. The use of conventional compensators does not provide adequate and fast solutions. FACTS technology improves the efficiency of these compensators in solving the problem of power system instability efficiently. Among its elements, a synchronous compensator STATCOM control is proposed to decrease bus overvoltage and damping oscillations. Disturbance at bus B-1 is taken into consideration. This disturbance represents the photovoltaic (PV) array which exploits the abundantly available solar irradiation in the desert of Algeria. Various simulation tests have been carried out using NEPLAN software and the proposed design algorithms are proved in the relevant discussion.

Inadequate supply of power is increasing day by day and causing a lot of problems and affecting various sectors of the country. This work involves the power analysis on the 28-bus network of the Nigeria 330kV integrated power system. The network consists of twenty-eight (28) buses, nine (9) generation stations, and fifty-two (52) transmission lines. Newton-Raphson (N-R) method of power flow analysis was carried out on the network using the relevant data. This analysis was carried out using PSS®E to determine bus voltages, real and reactive power losses of the integrated network. The work also involves carrying out line outages on various parts of the network to determine the effects on power losses and bus voltages. The results show that the following buses were not in line with the statutory limit of 0.95≤Vi≤1.05: bus 13 (New-Heaven), bus 14 (Onitsha), bus 16 (Gombe), bus 19 (Jos), bus 22 (Kano). Bus 16 was observed to not satisfy the limit during the analysis going as low as 0.7602p.u. in one of the line outages (Makurdi-Mambila off). The total losses was also determined and the highest power loss was observed when Makurdi-Mambila line was taken out of service (142.54MW, 1072.16MVAR) and the lowest loss was observed when the double transmission line between Benin-Sapele were both taken out of service(105.0MW, 830.50MVAR). This result concludes that the Nigeria network still needs to undergo changes to ensure sustainable and reliable power system. Compensation is recommended on the above stated weak buses using Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS).

System Stabilizer

Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is one of the most used controllers in the local generations, primarily it aimed to suppress local mode of oscillations. On the other hand, the Unified Power Flow Controllers (UPFC) the most versatile member of flexible alternating current transmission system devices to simultaneously control real and reactive power flows on transmission lines, as well as regulate selected bus voltage. Each of these controllers, on their own, can show satisfactory performance to enhance power system stability. However, when they utilized together, their dynamic performance can degrade due to controller interaction, that should be strategically optimized. In this paper, the coordinated design of pss's and upfc is realized to damp inter-area oscillations in  two-area power system using particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. The simulated cases in Matlab environment show that the interaction of pss's and upfc can be optimized, so the inter-area oscillations can be effectively mitigated following after fault, the simulation results of the uncoordinated design are also presented.

Optimization of restoration paths of power system after blackout is a multi-stage, multi-target, multi-variable combinatorial problem in the power system restoration. This paper presents a reasonable model and effectually method. The proposed model is considered as a typical partial minimum spanning tree problem from the mathematical point of view which considering all kinds of constraints. Improved data envelopment analysis (DEA) was used to get the weight which considering line charging reactive power, weather conditions, operation time and betweenness of transmission lines. The improved genetic algorithm method is employed to solve this problem. Finally, an example is given which proves the strategy of the line restoration can effectively handle the uncertainty of the system recovery process, to guarantee the system successfully restored after the catastrophic accidents.

Power Flow Controller

A Power System is actually a vast system that requires an outstanding plan for maintaining the continual flow of electricity. When a fault occurs at the power system, number of difficulties arises because of transients in system. so to attenuate these transients, power electronics based devices like FACTS are utilized. A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one among different power electronics controller which can dispense VAR compensation, line impedance control and phase shifting. The thought is to see potential of UPFC to require care of active and reactive power movement within the compensated line (including UPFC) and to shrink the falloff of the bus voltage in case of grounding fault within the cable. power system block consisting of simulink is used for numerical analysis. Simulation outcomes from MATLAB reflects major improvement in the overall system’s behaviour with UPFC in sustain the voltage and power flow even under severe line faults by proper injection of series voltage into the cable at the point of connection. outcomes shows how the UPFC contributes effectively to a faster regaining of the power system to the pre-fault conditions.

A new management approach for the reactive-power injections of Voltage supply Converters in High Voltage DC (VSC-HVDC) multi-terminal Systems to enhance grid transient stability. A reactive-power supplementary signal is provided for each convertor. Its worth is proportional to the frequency deviation of its consequent AC bus with admiration to the weighed-average frequency of the multiterminal system stations. The hope is to extend (decrease) the magnetism torsion of generators close to those terminals during which the frequency is superior to (below) the weighed-average frequency used. The AC frequency for all VSC stations is ever more accessible regionally for synchronization functions and will be utilized by a central controller. Simulations are allotted victimization PSS/E and therefore the outcome have revealed that transient stability is enlarged victimization this approach. Since this approach uses world capability of all VSC stations, the collision of the communication delays has been analyzed, concluding that the depressing consequence is modest, for realistic latency values.
