Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) controllers are important to enhance the quality of power in power systems. The stability of a system is achieved via a FACTS device (a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)). This paper aims to control the losses in the transmission system during peak energy demand circumstances with minimal losses in the economical and functional efficiency of the system. The STATCOM operation of a seven level voltage source converter (VSC) with binary-weighted transformers is proposed for controlling the reactive power variations and terminal voltage changes at dynamic circumstances in the transmission system. The STATCOM is operated at 132 kV and is a 50 Hz AC system with a single DC-Link capacitance and two VSC power circuits. Each VSC circuit consists of three H-bridges with specific switching angle control in order to achieve low total harmonic distortion at the fundamental frequency. The coupled control circuit phenomenon is imperative for computing the switching angle for a stable performance. The dynamic functional improvement efficiency is harvested with a minimum number of switches and transformers used in high voltage and high-power applications. The number of switches, transformers, and capacitors for 132 kV are optimized with a proposed STATCOM operation in seven level VSC with binary-weighted transformers. The simulated results prove that the proposed model significantly improved system performance and stability.

The Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) is a voltage-source-converter (VSC)-based flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) controller for series compensation in a multiline transmission system of a substation. The capability of injecting series voltages with controllable magnitude and phase angle makes it a powerful tool for better utilization of existing transmission lines in a multiline transmission system. IPFC is used to regulate active and reactive power flow in a multiline system, usually. In this paper, a control method for IPFC is proposed to control magnitude and phase angle of one sending bus of a substation.

Due to unpredicted non-linear loads, power quality problems, a raise in the transmission system. One such problem is voltage sag. Voltage sag is caused by the non-linear load which demands reactive power, but the balanced 3F source provides required reactive power of the load with reduced voltage at the receiving end. In this paper, simulation study has been performed to reducethe voltage sag issue. A transmission system with generation source with different loading conditions is considered and study has been done. A 3F medium P model transmission line is designed with a power source of 11kV.  A shunt connected compensation unit called Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) reduces the voltage sag in the transmission line. STATCOM provides the required reactive power demanded by the non-linear load along with the source for compensation of voltage sag. The STATCOM circuit comprises of Voltage source converter(VSC) unit and a DC source. Reactive power compensation is done by VSC unit firing angle control. The source of the STATCOM can also be from renewable energy system. This AC source is converted by a AC-DC-AC converter unit.The firing angle is controlled by the control unit which ensures the continuous and balanced power flow even under sudden change in load conditions. The simulation results depict the characteristics of the developed STATCOM.

Stability Enhancement

The Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based shunt connected FACTS device. The key roles of STATCOM are to control the voltage at midpoint of transmission line, enhance power transfer capability and control reactive power at load end. However, the performance of STATCOM depends upon the parameters of the controller. In this paper, we present the tuning of Type-1 controller parameters for STATCOM based on a systematic method using Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA). The margins for the Type-1 controller parameters are estimated from the movement of eigenvalues for the variation in controller parameters during inductive and capacitive modes of STATCOM. The performance of the STATCOM with FPA optimized Type-1 controller parameters is evaluated by transient simulation. The eigenvalue analysis and transient simulation are done based on D-Q model of STATCOM. It is noticed that, the response of STATCOM follows the step change in reactive current reference with least error.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to describe the design of a Hybrid Series Active Power Filter (HSeAPF) system to improve the quality of power on three-phase power distribution grids. The system controls are comprise of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) based on the Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory, and supported by Phase Locked Loop (PLL) for generating the switching pulses to control a Voltage Source Converter (VSC). The DC link voltage is controlled by Non-Linear Sliding Mode Control (SMC) for faster response and to ensure that it is maintained at a constant value. When this voltage is compared with Proportional Integral (PI), then the improvements made can be shown. The function of HSeAPF control is to eliminate voltage fluctuations, voltage swell/sag, and prevent voltage/current harmonics are produced by both non-linear loads and small inverters connected to the distribution network. A digital Phase Locked Loop that generates frequencies and an oscillating phase-locked output signal controls the voltage. The results from the simulation indicate that the HSeAPF can effectively suppress the dynamic and harmonic reactive power compensation system. Also, the distribution network has a low Total Harmonic Distortion (< 5%), demonstrating that the designed system is efficient, which is an essential requirement when it comes to the IEEE-519 and IEC 61,000–3-6 standards.

Abstract The variable-speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) based Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) attracts the maximum power from wind, but voltage-regulation and frequency-control of the system in standalone operation is a challenging task A modern-control-based-tracking of power from wind for its best utilization is proposed in this paper for standalone PMSG based hybrid-WECS comprising Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). An Adaptive Synchronous Reference Frame Phase-Locked-Loop (SRF-PLL) based control scheme for load side bi-directional voltage source converter (VSC) is presented for the system. MATLAB/Simulink model is developed for simulation study for the proposed system and the effectiveness of the controller for bi-directional-converter is discussed under different operating conditions: like variable wind-velocity, sudden load variation, and load unbalancing. Converter control scheme enhances the power smoothening, supply-load power-matching. Also it is able to regulate the active & reactive power from PMSG-BESS hybrid system with control of fluctuations in voltage & frequency with respect to varying operating conditions. Proposed controller successfully offers reactive-power-compensation, harmonics-reduction, and power-balancing. The proposed scheme is based on proportional & integral (PI) controller. Also system is experimentally validated in the laboratory-environment and results are presented here.

This paper investigated the characteristics of a novel type of hybrid high voltage direct current (HVdc) converter, which is composed by line commutated converter series with voltage source converter. The system and valve level control strategies are introduced, which can provide ac system voltage support. A novel filter design scheme composed by resonant filers for hybrid HVdc are also proposed, which can decrease the capacity of reactive power compensation equipment without deteriorate harmonic characteristics. The ac voltage of HVdc fluctuation level caused by transmitted power variation will be effectively reduced, with the coordination between filter design scheme and converter control. In addition, the influence of ac grid strength is also analyzed by equivalent source internal impedance represented by short circuit ratio (SCR). Finally, the +800 kV/1600 MW hybrid HVdc system connecting two ac grids under different SCR cases are studied, and the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results have validated the effectiveness for proposed strategy.

Voltage source converter (VSC) has been extensively applied in renewable energy systems which can rapidly regulate the active and reactive power. This paper aims at developing a novel optimal nonlinear adaptive control (ONAC) scheme to control VSC in both rectifier mode and inverter mode. Firstly, the nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, time-varying external disturbances, and unmodelled dynamics can be aggregated into a perturbation, which is then estimated by an extended state observer (ESO) called high-gain perturbation observer (HGPO) online. Moreover, the estimated perturbation will be fully compensated through state feedback. Besides, the observer gains and controller gains are optimally tuned by a recent emerging biology-based memetic salp swarm algorithm (MSSA), the utilization of such method can ensure a desirably satisfactory control performance. The advantage of ONAC is that even though the operation conditions are constantly changing, the control performance can still be maintained to be globally consistent. In addition, it is noteworthy that in rectifier mode only the reactive power and DC voltage are required to be measured, while in inverter mode merely the reactive power and active power have to be measured. At last, in order to verify the feasibility of ONAC in practical application, a hardware experiment is implemented.

In this paper, fuzzy logic controller (FLC)-based three-phase shunt active power filter with photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed. This filter comprises voltage source converter (VSC) with DC link capacitor at the input side and is supplied by PV system. The salient feature of the filter is that it provides reactive power compensation with line current harmonic reduction and also neutral compensation at point of common coupling (PCC). The PV system and a battery are connected with VSC through DC–DC converter. This paper also proposes a control algorithm using instantaneous [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] theory that generates a reference current to counteract the harmonics. The FLC controls the DC link voltage in reference to the above reference current. The performance of the proposed filter for compensation is confirmed by using the MATLAB/Simulink environment and results are validated.
