Power Flow Control Via Effective Dispatch of Modular FACTS Devices
Power Flow Control Via Effective Dispatch of Modular FACTS Devices A fast heuristic dispatch algorithm for series modular power flow control (M-PFC) devices is proposed to effectively control the power flow in transmission lines and consequently alleviate overloads in normal operation or contingency scenarios. Solving the nominal M-PFC dispatch problems is a computationally expensive non-linear […]
Development of a generic SSSC model in PowerFactory. Convergence between IT and OT practices
Development of a generic SSSC model in PowerFactory. Convergence between IT and OT practices One of many challenges that wind power faces while integrating into the existing network is the inherent decoupling between its development time (e.g., a couple of years) compared to that of traditional transmission solutions which may span into decades Grid Enhancing […]
SSR Implication Assessment Using Modular FACTS
SSR Implication Assessment Using Modular FACTS The increase of distributed, non-conventional generation requires fast installation and low-cost solutions that improve power systems’ flexibility and reliability. Such a solution is series compensation of transmission lines. Despite its numerous benefits, this solution raises concerns related to Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR). Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices constitute an […]
Modular Static Synchronous Series Compensator Offering Improved Scalability and Replicability Properties
Modular Static Synchronous Series Compensator Offering Improved Scalability and Replicability Properties The increasing share of renewable energy generation as well as the liberalization of the electricity markets has led to transmission congestion issues. Traditionally, congestion issues were dealt through grid expansion or upgrading existing transmission lines; these solutions, however, require significant lead time, large upfront […]
