This paper presents the improvement of the voltage profiles of power system networks by the inclusion of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). The mathematical model of the UPFC is incorporated in the load flow algorithm and the L-index is calculated for the different values of the control parameter r $and{\gamma}$. The positioning of the UPFC device is changed to minimize the sum of the squares of the L-indices at all load buses. The test cases considered for the improvement of voltage profile with the WSCC 9-bus and IEEE 30 bus system. With the best position of UPFC along with the control parameters the improvement in voltage profile of the power system networks are obtained. The results obtained are quite encouraging compared with other techniques used to identify the best location of UPFC.

This paper deals with shunt compensation to eliminate voltage violation and enhance transfer capability, which is motivated towards implementation in the Korean power system. The optimal shunt compensation algorithm has demonstrated its effectiveness in terms of voltage accuracy and reducing the number of actions of reactive power compensating devices. The main shunt compensation devices are capacitor and reactor. Effects of control devices are evaluated by cost computations. The control objective at present is to keep the voltage profile of a key bus within constraints with minimum switching cost. A robust control strategy is proposed to make the control feasible and optimal for a set of power-flow cases that may occurs important event from system. Case studies with metropolitan area of the Korean power system are presented to illustrate the method.

The present voltage-reactive power control aims at an overall coordination of reactive power sources and voltage regulation devices to keep the bus voltages within their allowable bounds on one hand and to reduce the transmission losses on the other. This paper presents an efficient computer control scheme for the real-time control of system voltage and reactive power on the basis of a simplified linear equation by using the system characteristic constant. Computational algorithm is used for the minimization of bus voltage deviation in the first phase of optimization and for the reduction of transmission losses under the constraint of vlotage settling condition in the second phase. The numerical example for sample practical system is also given. The present study on the computer control scheme will contribute to the automation of power system operation in the near future.

This paper describes a fast security analysis techique for voltage security assessment. The new method identifies the location of buses with potential voltage problems and thereby defines a voltage-sensitive subnetwork for contingency screening. The efficieny of this method is derived from the use of a voltage subnetwork to drastically reduce the number of bus voltages to be solved; and subsequently from the use of compensation techniques and sparse-vectors methods for screening. Results demonstrating the effectiveness of the method on the IEEE-14 bus model system are presented.

This paper presents the strategy of reactive power compensation which directly improves voltage stability. Voltage stability index that serves as an indirect assessment of voltage stability margin is derived from M.G.C.F. (Modified Generalized Curve Fit) algorithm incorporating load model. Weak buses are ranked by this stability index, and amounts of reactive power compensation are determined by function of reactive power and stability index. Using the proposed strategy, all load buses can be prevented from voltage collapse gradually. A simple illustrative example is given as well as simulation results obtained on 5 bus test system and 19 bus real power system.

In front of the opening of electric distribution market in 2004, it is indispensable to have a proper estimation of power quality index and rower quality cost calculation mechanism which are indispensable to stabilize highly industrialized society and to vitalize the Investment lot electric power system. However, there were not enough measures to reflect the voltage characteristics such as voltage sags and Interruptions which make electric load in unstable operation. This paper suggests power quality index and power quality cost which translate various kinds of voltage records into bus load drop index(BLDI) and bus power quality cost(BPQC) based on aggregated load CBEMA curve. A sample calculation result shows that this method can produces the acceptable power Quality index and costs for utilities and customers requirements.

This paper presents a novel and efficient method to calculate the critical point of voltage collapse. Conjugate gradient and modified Newton-Raphson methods are employed to calculate two pairs of multiple load flow solutions for two operating conditions, i.e., both +mode and -mode voltages for two loading conditions respectively. Then these four voltage magnitude-load data sets of the bus which is most susceptible to voltage collapse, are fitted to third order polynomial using Lagrangian interpolation in order to represent approximate nose curve (P-V curve). This nose curve locates first estimate of the critical point of voltage collapse. The procedure described above is repeated near the critical point and the new estimate will be very close to the critical point. The proposed method is tested for the eleven bus Klos-Kerner system, with good accuracy and fast computation time.

Maintaining the voltages is important in the power systems and the voltage is closely associated with the reactive powers. Therefore, the voltages are maintained by controlling the reactive powers. However actually it is impossible to control reactive power for maintaining all bus voltages. Thus, Secondary Voltage Regulation was designed. It divides power systems into some control areas and controls pilot node with the included generators. The reactive powers of generators can control pilot bus voltage continuously and fast. Therefore we need to divide areas and select control generators for SVR with Electrical distance. Then estimation of the reactive power reserves of geneators is needed in voltage control areas to control voltages of the pilot nodes.

This paper presents a fuzzy logical control method to implement an on-line optimum efficiency control for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. This method real-timely adjusts the output voltage of the inverter system to achieve the optimum running efficiency of the whole system. At first, the input power is calculated during the steady state in the process of efficiency optimizing. To exactly estimate the steady state of the system, this section needs check up the speed setting on timely. The second section is to calculate input power of dc-bus. The exact measurement of the voltage and current is the vital point to acquire the input power. The third section is the fuzzy logic control unit, which is the key of the whole drive system. Based on the change of input power of dc-bus and output voltage, the variable of output voltage is gained by the fuzzy logical unit. With the on-line optimizing. the whole system call fulfill the minimum input power of dc-bus on the running state. The experimental result proves that the system applied the adjustable V/f control method and the efficiency-optimizing unit possesses optimum efficiency, and it is a better choice for simple variable speed applications such as fans and pump.

The modularized subunit of an electronic power transformer (EPT) is a series connection of two H-bridge voltage-source converters and a DC-DC converter with a high-frequency isolation transformer (HFIT). On the basis of cascading and paralleling the modularized subunits, EPT can be used in high-voltage and large-current applications in the power system. This paper discusses the steady state analysis of the modularized subunit of EPT. Theoretical analysis considers the influences of the two H-bridge voltage-source converters on the two sides of the DC-DC converter. We deduce the formulas of the theoretical calculation on the internal electrical characteristics of EPT (e.g., the voltages of the DC-bus capacitor and the primary side peak current of the HFIT). This paper provides guidance on the design and selection of EPT key elements (e.g., the DC-bus capacitors and HFIT). Experimental results are obtained from a single subunit of a laboratory model rated at 962 V, 15 kVA. All calculations, simulations, and experiments confirm the theoretical analysis of the subunit of EPT.
