The flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) provides a new advanced technology solution to improve the flexibility, controllability, and stability of a power system. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is outstanding for regulating power flow in the FACTS; it can control the real power, reactive power, and node voltage of distribution networks. This paper investigates the performance of the UPFC for power flow control with a series of step changes in rapid succession in a power system steady state and the response of the UPFC to distribution network faults and islanding mode. Simulation was carried out using the MATLAB's simulink sim power systems toolbox. The results, which were carried out on a 5-bus test system and a 4-bus multi-machine electric power system, show clearly the effectiveness and viability of UPFC in rapid response and independent control of the real and reactive power flows and oscillation damping [6].

이 논문은 변전소 환경에서 LTC, S.C, FACTS 간의 협조제어를 통한 전압 profile 개선을 논한다. 변전소 자체 내의 전압-무효전력 제어기기인 LTC, S.C 이외에도 현재에는 더 나은 전력전송과 전압안정을 위해 FACTS를 설치하는 경우가 늘고 있기 때문에 위의 3가지기기에 대한 협조제어 알고리즘에 대한 필요성은 점차 증대된다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 3가지 기기들의 협조제어를 통해서 전압 profile 개선에 관하여 연구하였으며 그러한 연구들은 Hypersim(real-time simulator) 기반에서 수행하였다.

Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) application study on enhancing the flexibility of AC power system has continued to make progress. A thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is a useful FACTS device that can control the power flow by adjusting line impedances and minimize the loss of power flow and voltage drop in a transmission system by adjusting line impedances. Reduced power flow loss leads to increased loadability, low system loss, and improved stability of the power system. This study proposes the optimal location and compensation rate method for TCSCs, by considering both the power system loss and voltage drop of transmission systems. The proposed method applies a multi-objective function consisting of a minimizing function for power flow loss and voltage drop. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using IEEE 14- and a 30-bus system.

전력계통이 대형화, 복잡화됨에 따라 현재의 전력전송은 한계 전송량에 가깝게 운영되고 있다. 또한 정치적, 경제적, 사회적 수용성 등의 이유로 전력을 융통하기 위한 신규 초고압 송전선로의 건설도 어려운 실정이다. 이 때 루트 송전선로의 탈락은 계통의 과도안정도에 큰 영향을 끼칠 수 있으며, 발전기 탈락을 통하여 계통을 안정화 시킬 수 있다. 하지만 과도한 발전기 탈락은 계통의 신뢰성 있는 운영에 방해물이 될 수 있다. 유연송전기기(FACTS, Flexible AC Transmission Systems)는 이러한 루트 선로 탈락에 따른 발전기 탈락을 최소화 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 FACTS의 한 종류인 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)을 이용하여 사고 시, FACTS 기기 설치 유무에 따른 과도안정도 분석을 진행한다.

The distributed flexible alternative current transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently developed FACTS technology. Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC) is one example of DFACTS devices. DSSC functions in the same way as a Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), but is smaller in size, lower in price, and possesses more capabilities. Likewise, DSSC lies in transmission lines in a distributed manner. In this work, we designed a fuzzy logic controller to use the DSSC for enhancing transient stability in a two-machine, two-area power system. The parameters of the fuzzy logic controller are varied widely by a suitable choice of membership function and parameters in the rule base. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fuzzy controller for transient stability enhancement by DSSC.

Recently, new trend in telecommunication device is to apply low voltage, about 3.3V-1.5V. However, it is undesirable in view of high efficiency and power desity which is the most important requirement in the distributed power system. Rectification loss in the output stage, in on-board converter for distributed power system are constrained to obtain high efficience at low output voltage power suppies. This paper explains the basic operational principles of three kinds of ZVS DC/DC converters with self-driven synchronous rectifier. The three topologies are analyzed by simulation and exprimentation, and the characteristics comparisons of high efficience converter are carried out in view of the minimized rectification losses in the out stage.

This paper presents an LQG based robust TCSC supplementary controller design to suppress the SSR in the FACTS. This controller is designed to have the robust stability against the plant model uncertainty. The robust stability is guaranteed using the $\mu$ analysis. Time domain simulations using a nonlinear system model show that the proposed TCSC supplementary controller can suppress the SSR efficiently against the plant model uncertainty.
