This paper investigates the enhancement of power system stability via coordinated design of Power System Stabilizers (PSSs), Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC)-based stabilizer, and Static Var Compensator (SVC)-based stabilizer in a multi-machine power system. The design problem of the proposed stabilizers is formulated as an optimization problem. Using the developed linearized power system model, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to search for optimal stabilizer settings that maximize the minimum damping ratio of all system oscillating modes. The proposed stabilizers are evaluated on a two-area weakly-connected multi-machine power system with unstable interarea oscillation mode. The nonlinear simulation results and eigenvalue analysis show the effectiveness of the proposed coordinated stabilizers in damping low frequency power system oscillations and enhancing the system stability.

A phenomenon that the damping ratio will decrease when the power flows from both sides to the primary power grid is summarized and analyzed in the paper. Based on analysis of the damping ratio change of West Inner Mongolia-Shandong oscillation under the sequential operation mode and the hedge operation mode, a three-machine equivalent system is established to study edge to edge (ETE) oscillation mode under hedge operating mode of the power system. The influence of magnitudes and trends of power flow on damping ratio is analyzed, and the reason that why damping ratios decreases when both sides send power to the mid-side power grid is explained.

Power system often experiences the problem of low-frequency electromechanical oscillations which leads the system to unstable condition. The problem can be corrected by implementing power system stabilizers (PSSs) in the excitation control system of alternator. This paper provides a novel and efficient approach to design an Improved Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (IGOA)-based dual-input controller to damp the inter-area-mode power system oscillations. A three-fold optimization criterion has been formulated to calculate the optimum values of the controllers required for power system stability. The damping performance of the proposed controller is compared with conventional PSS and genetic algorithm-based controllers to validate the better performance of the proposed IGOA-based controller under various system loading conditions and disturbances.

<p><em> </em>Unified power flow controller (UPFC), as one of the most important FACTS devices, can be used to increase the damping of power system oscillation. The effect rate of this controller on increasing oscillation damping depends on the appropriate selection of input controlling signal, optimal selection of UPFC controlling parameters, and its proper position in power system. In this paper, the capability of different UPFC inputs is studied by utilizing singular value decomposition (SVD) method and the best UPFC input controlling signal is selected. Supplementary control parameters are also optimally selected by PSO algorithm. This method's accuracy is simulated on a single-machine system connected to infinite bus.</p>

In this paper, the series converters of Distributed Power Flow Controller are the main object of study. Its mechanism of suppressing power system oscillations is studied by theoretical analysis and formula derivation, which relies on a single-machine infinite-bus power system, installed the series converters. Then based on the mechanism, adopting the classic PI control and the damping controller, designed the transient stability control loop for the series converters. Finally, simulations performed by PSCAD/EMTDC, the results show that DPFC device can effectively suppress oscillation and improve system stability.

In order to face the challenge of our economy and the environment, it is needed to speed up the energy structure transition and UItra High voltage (UHV) transmission has become an inevitable choice. Researches on the influence of UHV project to Jiangxi power grid are carried out in this paper. Using advanced digital power system simulator (ADPSS), the real-time simulation model of Jiangxi power grid is build up including the UHV project. Based on the simulation model, the problem of low frequency oscillation in Jiangxi power system is studied after the UHV power transmission project accessed. The influence of the UHV transmission line faults on system stability of Jiangxi grid is also researched.
