The article presents the concept of application of a multiphase matrix converter (MMC)-based device working as a phase-shifting control device in a power system. A matrix M × M multiphase converter is a simple structure incorporating M × M bidirectional switches, connecting M input phases to M output phases (a square structure is used). The device, in this research and under proposed control, is able to build M output sinusoidal-shape phases (desired output) from parts of input voltages. The proposed MMC-based device can be considered as a new flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) apparatus. Three basic control systems that enabled the creation of output waveforms as the combination of input ones were presented. Both 6 × 6 and 12 × 12 matrix structures were introduced, since 3 × 6 and 3 × 12 transformers are already in use. The mathematical, Simulink, and laboratory models were built to extract characteristic features of the MMC. The chosen “area-based” control procedure was based on finding a common point of area representing a certain switch (connecting a certain input and a certain output) and a time-dependent trajectory. Practical application of the MMC in a power system involves not only MMC analysis, but also the study of application requirements, possible converter topologies, and the development of new, reliable control algorithms. Particular consideration was given to the simplicity of the control and the analysis of the converter properties. The proposed control procedure did not use the PWM technique, but created output in similar way to a multilevel converter.

Purpose The loading and power variations in the power system, especially for the peak hours have abundant concussion on the loading patterns of the open access transmission system. During such unconditional state of loading the transmission line parameters and the line voltages show a substandard profile, which depicts exaction of congestion management of the power line in such events. The purpose of this paper is to present an uncomplicated and economical model for congestion management using flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices. Design/methodology/approach The approach desires a two-step procedure, first by optimal placement of thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and static VAR compensator (SVC) as FACTS devices in the network; second tuning the control parameters to their optimized values. The optimal location and tuning of TCSC and SVC represents a hectic optimization problem, due to its multi-objective and constrained nature. Hence, a reassuring heuristic optimization algorithm inspired by behavior of cat and firefly is employed to find the optimal placement and tuning of TCSC and SVC. Findings The effectiveness of the proposed model is tested through simulation on standard IEEE 14-bus system. The proposed approach proves to be better than the earlier existing approaches in the literature. Research limitations/implications With the completed simulation and results, it is proved that the proposed scheme has reduced the congestion in line, thereby increasing the voltage stability along with improved loading capability for the congested lines. Practical implications The usefulness of the proposed scheme is justified with the computed results, giving convenience for implementation to any practical transmission network. Originality/value This paper fulfills an identified need to study exaction of congestion management of the power line.

Power system stabilizer (PSS) and flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) damping controller to improve the stability of the power system has been widely used. A coordinated control method based on the combined computational evolutionary theory is proposed to overcome some of damping controllers simultaneously so as to keep the allowable level of power system damping. It works by making full use of favorable interaction between the controlling and minimizing adverse interactions so that the power system oscillations can be suppressed effectively. Proportional integral derivative (PID) controller tuning based power system stabilizer types PSS3B (PIDPSS3B), static var compensator (SVC) and automatic voltage regulator (AVR) presented in this paper. PID controller gain parameters such as proportional, integral factor, differential coefficient and get AVR selected and optimized by BF-PSOTVAC. The integral time absolut error (ITAE) standards of optimization design as objective function. The results of simulations show that performance index of system the proposed method is 42.7890. The BF-PSOTVAC method has the capability to damping optimally and suppresses error to minimum.

Nowadays in the restructured scenario, the main challenging objective of the modern power system is to avoid blackouts and provide uninterrupted quality power supply with dynamic response during emergency to improve power system security and stability. In this sense the convertible static compensator (CSC) that is the Generalized Inter line power flow controller (GIPFC), can control and optimize power flow in multi-line transmission system instead of controlling single line like its forerunner FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) controller. By adding a STATCOM (Static synchronous Shunt Converter) at the front end of the test power system and connecting to the common DC link of the IPFC, it is possible to bring the power factor to higher level and harmonics to the lower level and this arrangement is popularly known as Generalized Inter line power flow controller (GIPFC). In this paper a new concept of GIPFC based on incorporating a voltage source converter with zero sequence injection SPWM technique is presented for reinforcement of system stability margin. A detailed circuit model of modified GIPFC is developed and its performance is validated for a standard test system. Simulation is done using MATLAB Simulink.Index Terms—Convertible static controller, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS), Generalized Interline Power Flow Controller (GIPFC),STATCOM, SSSC, Reactive power compensation.

This paper investigates the application of genetic algorithm (GA) for the design of a power system stabilizer (PSS) and a flexible ac transmission system (FACTS)–based controller to enhance power system stability. The design problem of the proposed controllers is formulated as an optimization problem and the GA optimization technique is employed to search for optimal controller parameters. The proposed controllers are tested on a weakly connected power system under various disturbances and loading conditions, and compared with a conventional PSS (CPSS). The eigenvalue analysis and nonlinear simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controllers.
