Power System Small Signal Stability Analysis and Control

Power System Small Signal Stability Analysis and Control presents a detailed analysis of the problem of severe outages due to the sustained growth of small signal oscillations in modern interconnected power systems. The ever-expanding nature of power systems and the rapid upgrade to smart grid technologies call for the implementation of robust and optimal controls. Power systems that are forced to operate close to their stability limit have resulted in the use of control devices by utility companies to improve the performance of the transmission system against commonly occurring power system disturbances. This book demonstrates how the application of power system damping controllers such as Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) controllers—namely Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC)—can guard against system disruptions. Power System Small Signal Stability Analysis and Control examines the signal stability problem, providing an overview and analysis of the concepts and of the controllers used to mitigate it. Detailed mathematical derivations, illustrated case studies, the application of soft computation techniques, designs of robust controllers, and end-of-chapter exercises make it a useful resource to researchers, practicing engineers, and post-graduates in electrical engineering. Examines the power system small signal stability problem and various ways to mitigate it Offers a new and simple method of finding the optimal location of PSS in a multi-machine power system Provides relevant exercises to further illustrate chapter-specific content

This comprehensive book is designed both for postgraduate students in power systems/energy systems engineering and a one-year course for senior undergraduate students of electrical engineering pursuing courses on power systems. The text gives a systematic exposition of topics such as modelling of power system components, load flow, automatic load frequency control, economic operation, voltage control and stability, study of faulted power systems, and optimal power flow. Besides giving a detailed discussion on the basic principles and practices, the text provides computer-based examples to illustrate the topics discussed. What makes the text unique is that it deals with the practice of computer for power system operation and control. This book also brings together the diverse aspects of power system operation and control and is a practical hands-on guide to theoretical developments and to the application of advanced methods in solving operational and control problems of electric power systems. The book should therefore be of immense benefit to the industry professionals and researchers as well.

This book focuses on soft computing techniques for enhancing voltage security in electrical power networks. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been chosen as a soft computing tool, since such networks are eminently suitable for the study of voltage security. The different architectures of the ANNs used in this book are selected on the basis of intelligent criteria rather than by a “brute force” method of trial and error. The fundamental aim of this book is to present a comprehensive treatise on power system security and the simulation of power system security. The core concepts are substantiated by suitable illustrations and computer methods. The book describes analytical aspects of operation and characteristics of power systems from the viewpoint of voltage security. The text is self-contained and thorough. It is intended for senior undergraduate students and postgraduate students in electrical engineering. Practicing engineers, Electrical Control Center (ECC) operators and researchers will also find the book useful.
