In this paper, we study the concept and forming manner of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) into the electrical system and then, its effect on small signal stability is investigated. The paper illustrates the essential module, mathematical analysis and small signal modeling of the SOFC joined to single machine system. The aim of this study is to reduce power oscillations in the presence of the SOFC with optimal stabilizer. The multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) technique has been used for designing a Power System Stabilizer (PSS) in order to improve the performance of the system. Two objective functions are regarded for the design of PSS parameters in order to maximize the damping factor and the damping ratio of the system. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed optimal stabilizers, four scenarios are considered and then, its results have been analyzed. The proposed PSS tuning technique can be applied to a multi-machine system connected to the SOFC. The efficiency of MOPSO based proposed PSS on the oscillations the system related to SOFC is illustrated by time-domain simulation and also, the comparison of the MOPSO based proposed PSS with the PSS based-single objective method has been prepared.

Calculation of interval damping ratio under uncertain load in power system The problem of small-signal stability considering load uncertainty in power system is investigated. Firstly, this paper shows attempts to create a nonlinear optimization model for solving the upper and lower limits of the oscillation mode's damping ratio under an interval load. Then, the effective successive linear programming (SLP) method is proposed to solve this problem. By using this method, the interval damping ratio and corresponding load states at its interval limits are obtained. Calculation results can be used to evaluate the influence of load variation on a certain mode and give useful information for improvement. Finally, the proposed method is validated on two test systems.

The main objective of this paper is to report the small signal stability analysis of Vietnam Power System which has a longitudinal network structure with the consideration of power system stabilizer (PSS) in operation to enhance the damping of inter-area oscillation by using local as well as remote feedback signals via phasor measurement unit (PMU). Both methods of frequency domain and time domain analyses are used to investigate the performance of the power system. The study results show that by proper selection of PSS installation locations and remote feedback signals, power oscillations on the tie-line will be reduced and the system stability is thus improved.

This paper primarily focuses on the small signal stability analysis of a power system integrated with solar photovoltaics (PV). The test system used in this study is the IEEE 39-bus. The small signal stability of the test system are investigated in terms of eigenvalue analysis, damped frequency, damping ratio and participation factor. In this study, various conditions are analyzed which include the increase in solar PV penetration into the system and load variation. The results obtained indicate that there is no significant impact of solar PV penetration on the small signal stability of large scaled power system.

Synthetic inertia provision through the control of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines is an effective means of providing frequency support to the wider electrical network. There are numerous control topologies to achieve this, many of which work by making modifications to the DFIG power controller and introducing additional loops to relate active power to electrical frequency. How these many controller designs compare to one-another in terms of their contribution to frequency response is a much studied topic, but perhaps less studied is their effect on the small-signal stability of the system. The concept of small-signal stability in the context of a power system is the ability to maintain synchronism when subjected to small disturbances, such as those associated with a change in load or a loss of generation. Amendments made to the control system of a large-scale wind farm will inevitably have an effect on the system as a whole, and by making a DFIG wind turbine behave more like a synchronous generator, which synthetic inertia provision does, may incur consequences relating to electromechanical oscillations between generating units. This work compares the implications of two prominent synthetic inertia controllers of varying complexity and their effect on small-signal stability. Eigenvalue analysis is conducted to highlight the key information relating to electromechanical modes between generators for the two control strategies, with a focus on how these affect the damping ratios. It is shown that as the synthetic inertia controller becomes both more complex and more effective, the damping ratio of the electromechanical modes is reduced, signifying a decreased system stability.
