Design of A Hvdc-Based Controller for Load Change Compensation and Stabilization of Inter-Area Oscillations

As an interconnected power system via a High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link is subjected to a rapid load change with the frequency of inter-area oscillation mode, system frequency and tie line power may be severely disturbed and oscillate.  To compensate for the rapid load change and stabilize both frequency and tie line power oscillations due to the inter-area mode, the dynamic power flow control via a HVDC link can be exploited.  To implement this concept, a new design method of HVDC-based controller is proposed.  To grasp a physical characteristic of the inter-area oscillation frequency, the technique of overlapping decompositions is employed to achieve the subsystem embedded with the inter-area mode.  Consequently, the second-order lead/lag controller of HVDC link can be designed in this subsystem.  To acquire the desired overshoot of frequency oscillations, the parameters of the controller are automatically optimized by the Tabu Search (TS) algorithm.  The effectiveness of the designed controller is investigated in a three-area longitudinal interconnected power system which represents the interconnection between the south of Thailand and Malaysia power systems

DESIGN OF ROBUST H∞ POWER SYSTEM STABILIZER USING NORMALIZED COPRIME FACTORIZATION

This paper proposes a new design procedure of robust power system stabilizers (PSS) using H∞ control via normalized coprime factorization (NCF) approach. The design procedure of the proposed PSS is systematically described. Moreover, the selection method of the weighting function in H∞ control design is explained in a simple manner. The performance and robustness of the proposed PSS are investigated in comparison with the conventional PSS by examining the case of a single machine connected to an infinite bus (SMIB) system. The simulation results are illustrated to ensure the effectiveness of the proposed PSS

Application of SMES coordinated with solid-state phase shifter to load frequency control

This paper proposes a sophisticated application of SMES to load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected power system. The SMES is coordinated with a solid-state phase shifter to enhance the LFC.
