ABSTRACT
The robustness of a power system is measured by the ability of the system to operate in a
state of equilibrium under normal and perturbed conditions. Power system stability deals with
the study of the behaviour of power systems under conditions such as sudden changes in load
or generation or short circuits on transmission lines.
The main focus of this dissertation is to present the modelling and simulation of the
Centurion
suburb
of
the
Tshwane
Municipality
electric
power
system
using
MATLAB/SIMULINK package.
The basic system is tested under large and small disturbances to study the dynamic behaviour
of the system and the stability margins associated with the different configurations of the
system.
The single-machine infinite bus power system model is considered, with the synchronous
generator being represented by figure 8 with both the generator main field winding and the
damper winding in q-axis, and developed to evaluate the impact of power system stabilizer
(PSS) with automatic voltage regulator (AVR) and flexible ac transmission system (FACTS)
based controllers on power system stability.
As a suggested solution to increase stability margins of the system, PSS with AVR are
installed in the network. FACTS controllers are added, modelled and tested to validate the
effectiveness on the different stability margins under both large and small disturbances.
The network has been tested in its current form to check on its stability under various
disturbance conditions, and near total voltage collapse was observed in some cases, as
presented in the simulation results.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Since the 1920s, power system stability has been recognized as an important problem for
secure system operation (C.P Steinmetz, 1920), (AIEE, 1926). Many major blackouts
caused by power system instability have illustrated the importance of this phenomenon
(G.S Vassel, 1991).
The management of power systems becomes more difficult today because of the
following reasons:
In the open access networks, the transmission capacity for all transactions needs
to be determined.
There is a need for a new kind of voltage and power flow control in a
deregulated market.
Power system stability is a complex subject that has challenged power system engineers
for many years.
Accompanying the above trends has been an increased tendency of power systems to
exhibit oscillatory instability. Higher-response exciters, while improving transient
stability, adversely affect small-signal stability associated with local plant modes of
oscillation by introducing negative damping.
Of all the complex phenomena on power systems, power system stability is the most
intricate to understand and challenging to analyze.
Electric power systems of the 21st century will present an even more formidable
challenge as they are forced to operate closer to their stability limits. With growing
consumer demands, the maximum power that can be transferred in a reliable fashion over
any transmission line is called the transfer capability (I. Dobson, S. Greene, R.Rajaraman,
2001).
Power transmission capability has traditionally been limited by either rotor angle
(synchronous) stability or by thermal loading capabilities. The blackout problem has been
associated with transient stability. Fortunately, this problem is now diminished by fast
short circuit clearing, powerful excitation systems, and various special stability controls.
A relatively small disturbance may cause a system upset when a power system is
operated closer to a stability limit. In addition, larger areas of the interconnected system
may be affected by a disturbance.
Voltage (load) stability, however, is now a major concern in planning and operating
electric power systems. More and more electric utilities are facing voltage stabilityimposed limits. Voltage instability and collapse have resulted in several major system
failures (blackouts) such as the massive Tokyo blackout in July 1987.
Voltage stability will remain a challenge for the foreseeable future and, indeed, is likely
to increase in importance. One reason is the need for more intensive use of available
transmission facilities.
Voltage stability is concerned with the ability of a power system to maintain acceptable
voltages at all nodes in the system under normal and contingent conditions. A power
system is said to have entered a state of voltage instability when a disturbance causes a
progressive and uncontrollable decline in voltage.
The expansion of transmission network and generation near load centres is limited by
environmental constraints, which has a negative influence on power system voltage
stability, because the electrical distance from a generator to a load increases and the
voltage support weakens in the load areas.
Historically, voltage instability has been the dominant stability problem on most systems,
and has been the focus of much of the industrys attention concerning system stability
(W. Taylor, 1994).
The Transmission system interconnects all major generating stations and main load
centres in the system. It forms the backbone of the integrated power system and operates
at the highest voltage levels (typically, 275 kV and above). The generator voltages are
usually in the range of 11 to 33 kV. These are stepped up to the transmission voltage
level, and power is transmitted to transmission substations where the voltages are stepped
down to the sub transmission level (typically, 66 kV to 132 kV). The generation and
transmission are often referred to as the bulk power system.
The sub transmission system transmits power in smaller quantities from the transmission
substations to the distribution substations. Large industrial customers are commonly
supplied directly from the sub transmission system.
The distribution system represents the final stage in the transfer of power to the
individual customers. The primary distribution voltage is typically between 3.3 kV and
33 kV. Small industrial customers are supplied by primary feeders at this voltage level.
The secondary distribution feeders supply residential and commercial customers at
120/240 V.
Unbalanced disturbances are normally caused by short circuit (faults) affecting only one
or two of the phases; faults involving ground are the most common. Balanced
disturbances result from transmission line and generation outages, and from load changes.
Actually, modern society is very vulnerable in the case of power system blackout; so the
consequences of blackout are both social and economic. The consequences of
disturbances in office work will be loss of production and information.
Most services will be at a standstill, because the production or use of services requires
electricity. In practice, it is not possible to serve or to work without electricity in modern
society.
Over the last ten to fifteen years, and especially over about the last five years, utility
engineers, consultants, and university researchers have intensely studied voltage stability.
All relevant phenomena, including longer-term phenomena, can be demonstrated by time
domain simulation.
The electricity supply industries of Southern Africa are dominated by the State owned
utility of South Africa, ESKOM. ESKOM generates around two thirds of the electricity
produced in the whole of Africa and is extending its transmission grid north into
neighbouring Sub-Sahara countries.
ESKOM provides about 95% of South Africas electrical power and more than 60% of
Africas. It has been forecasted that by 2008 the countrys electricity demand is expected
to exceed supply capacity, and South African power exports have already been restricted.
The Primary Network Division of the Electricity Department of the City of Tshwane
operates an extensive network of 132 kV power substations as part of the electrical
distribution network for the City of Tshwane.
In this study we will consider only a small part of the Tshwane Municipality Network,
the portion located in the Centurion suburb of the municipality because of the software
limitation used for modelling and simulation. Centurion network consists of six
synchronous machines, all of the same kind, four of which are used for reactive power
support.
The main focus of this dissertation is to model and simulate the portion located in the
Centurion suburb of the Tshwane Municipality network incorporating FACTS devices, in
order to improve stability of the whole network.
1.3 Sub-Problems
In order to show the damping functionality of FACTS controllers and to improve the
stability of the Centurion suburb of the Tshwane Municipality network, the sub-tasks
needed to solve the problem, are:
1.3.1 Sub-Problem 1
Power Flow Analysis using Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson methods, with the view
to establishing the active and reactive power flow and voltage profile.
1.3.2 Sub-Problem 2
Analysis of Voltage Stability for the Centurion Network according to the International
Energy Agency.
1.3.3 Sub-Problem 3
Modelling and Simulation of Centurion Network power system subjected to various
severe disturbances using FACTS controllers.
The research of power system stability during the last 10 years has dealt with modelling
of voltage stability, computation of voltage collapse point and enhancement of power
system stability.
In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed model of power system, various power
system controllers are used to control the oscillatory problem, namely a PSS including
AVR and a TCSC. On the other hand a SVC and a UPFC are added to the system to
improve stability performances.
In the course of this research work, the following papers were presented at international
conferences:
10
Chapter 2 describes the voltage stability phenomena. First the voltage stability, voltage
instability and voltage collapse are defined and the aspects of voltage stability are
classified.
Survey of possible software tools is the subject of chapter 3 in which a comparative study
between PSS/E, DIGSILENT, EUROSTAG, PSCAD and PST is described.
Chapter 4 introduces the Centurion network which consists of six synchronous machines,
four of which are synchronous compensators used only for reactive power support.
Chapter 6 describes the Voltage Stability Study. Methods of Improving Stability are
presented in chapter 7. This chapter gives a brief introduction to FACTS devices structure
and operation, as well as to their capabilities in providing wider stability margins.
Simulation results and discussion are provided in chapter 8. In the same chapter, a small
comparative study is done between PSS including AVR, TCSC and SVC and PSS
including AVR and UPFC controller. Conclusions are given in chapter 9.

CHAPTER 2
VOLTAGE STABILITY
Voltage stability has become an important issue to many power systems around the
world. By examining the production, transmission and consumption of reactive power,
the nature of voltage stability can be analyzed.
The problem of voltage stability concerns the whole power system. In recent years,
voltage instability has been responsible for several major network collapses such as:
French system disturbances of December 19, 1978, and January 12, 1987
This chapter presents a general introduction to the power system stability problem
including physical concepts, classification, and definition of related terms.
The objective is to provide an overview of the power system stability phenomena and to
lay a foundation based on relatively simple physical reasoning.
12
Power system stability is the ability of an electric power system, for a given initial
operating condition, to regain a state of operating equilibrium after being subjected to a
physical disturbance, with most system variables bounded so that practically the entire
system remains intact.
Voltage stability is the ability of a power system to maintain steady acceptable voltages at
all buses in the system under normal operating conditions and after being subjected to a
disturbance (Kundur, 1994). It depends on the ability to maintain equilibrium between
load demand and load supply from the power system.
Voltage instability stems from the attempt of load dynamics to restore power
consumption beyond the capability of the combined transmission and generation system.
Instability that may result occurs in the form of a progressive fall of voltages of some
buses (T. Van Cutsem et al., 1999).
13
Voltage collapse is a local phenomenon like voltage instability and its consequences may
have a widespread impact. Voltage collapse is a terrible result of a sequence of events
leading to a low-voltage profile in a significant part of the power system.
Power system stability is essentially a single problem. The classification of power system
stability proposed here is based on the following considerations (Kundur, 1994):
Fig.1 gives the overall picture of the power system stability problem, identifying its
categories and subcategories (C. Vournas, 1998).
14
As in the case of rotor angle stability, it is useful to classify voltage stability into the
following subcategories:
15
16
The bus voltage magnitude (V) increases as reactive power (Q) injected at the same bus is
increased under normal operating conditions. However, the system is unstable when V of
any one of the systems buses decreases with the increase in (Q) for that same bus.
The voltage instability impact on the system can be wide spread as it depends on the
relationship between transmitted P, injected Q and receiving end V.
P-V curves are useful for conceptual analysis of voltage stability and for study of radial
systems. The method is also used for large meshed networks where P is the total load in
an area and V is the voltage at a critical or representative bus. P can also be the power
transfer across a transmission interface or interconnection. Voltage at several buses can
be plotted.
A disadvantage is that the power flow simulation will diverge near the nose or maximum
power point on the curve. Another disadvantage is that generation must be realistically
rescheduled as the area load is increased.
For conceptual analysis, P-V curves are convenient when load characteristics as a
function of voltage are analyzed (W. Taylor, 1994). The relationship between the
transmitted active power P and the receiving end voltage V when considering voltage
stability is of interest.
17
The voltage stability analysis process involves the transfer of P from one region of a
system to another, and monitoring the effects to the system voltages V. This analysis is
commonly referred to as PV study (Kundur, 1994).
This figure shows a typical P-V curve, depicting the variation in voltage at a particular
bus as a function of the total active power supplied to load areas. It can be seen that at the
knee of the PV curve, the voltage drops rapidly when there is an increase in the load
demand.
Load-flow solutions do not converge beyond this point, which indicates the instability of
the system. This point is called the critical point. Hence, we can use the curve to
determine the systems critical operating voltage and collapse margin.
18
Usually, operating points above the critical point signify that the system becomes stable.
If the operating points are below the critical point, the system is diagnosed to be in an
unstable condition (Kundur, 1994).
For large systems, the curves are obtained by a series of power flow simulations. Q-V
curves plot voltage at a test or critical bus versus reactive power on the same bus.
Voltage is the independent variable and is the abscissa variable. Capacitive reactive
power is plotted in the positive vertical direction. Without application of shunt reactive
compensation at the test bus, the operating point is at the zero reactive point
corresponding to removal of the fictitious synchronous condenser.
Voltage stability depends on how the variation in Q and P affect the voltage at the load
buses. The influence of reactive power characteristics of devices at the receiving end is
more apparent in a Q-V relationship.
19
It shows the sensitivity and variation of bus voltages with respect to reactive power
injections.
Voltage security is closely related to reactive power, and a Q-V curve gives
reactive power margin at the test bus. The reactive power margin is the MVAr
distance from the operating point to either the bottom of the curve, or to a point
where the voltage squared characteristic of an applied capacitor is tangent to the
Q-V curve.
Q-V curves can be computed at points along a P-V curve to test system
robustness.
Characteristics of test bus shunt reactive compensation (synchronous condenser)
can be plotted directly on the Q-V curve. The operating point is the intersection
of the Q-V system characteristic and the reactive compensation characteristic.
The slope of the Q-V curve indicates the stiffness of the test bus.
The Q-V approach is a steady-state tool that develops a curve, which relates voltage at a
bus to the reactive power necessary to reach this voltage (W. Taylor, 1994).
20
This figure shows a typical Q-V curve, which is usually generated by a series of loadflow solutions. Voltage stability limit is at the point where the derivative
dQ
dV
is zero.
This point defines the minimum reactive power requirement for a stable operation
(Kundur, 1994).
21
CHAPTER 3
This chapter presents the experience gained in comparing a number of power system
simulation tools. We carry out an eigenvalue analysis of a power system using PSS/E,
DIGSILENT, EUROSTAG, PSCAD and PST.
Some of the features to be compared are modelling adequacy, linearization method used
by the softwares solver, capability of accessing system matrices and data exchange
flexibility and capability.
3.1. Introduction
Several industrial-grade power system simulation tools are commercially available in the
market. They are expensive to acquire and time-consuming to learn. As a result, very few
institutions (utilities, academic/research organizations) can afford to use more than one
power system simulation tool.
The tools employ slightly different component models, analytical algorithms, and
numerical approaches; therefore for the same benchmark electrical network, different
tools can give different numerical results.
22
Electric power systems are expected to be highly reliable. Therefore, the simulation tools
should accurately and reliably replicate the real-life systems. The quality of a simulation
depends mainly on:
Understanding why the solutions differ is not a trivial issue. At present there are no
industry-accepted standards for comparing the power system simulation tools available in
the market.
The power system engineering literature, in this domain, is scarce. We believe that there
is a need to develop expertise in power system software comparison (Keren Kaberere,
Mpumelelo Ntombela, Komla Folly and Alexander Petroianu).
23
For software comparison, we will discuss the following features using PSS/E,
DIGSILENT, EUROSTAG, PSCAD and Power System Toolbox (PST):
Model availability: Generators, transmission lines, and loads.
Solution methodology: Linearization and eigenvalue calculation
methods.
Software flexibility: Data input/output
The sixth order model has been found adequate for representation of round rotor
generators in stability studies (IEEE, 1991). This model has four rotor circuits: a field
winding, a damper winding on the d-axis, and two damper windings on the q-axis.
24
Salient pole generators are represented using a similar model but with only one damper
winding on the q-axis (5th order). The 6th order generator model is included in all
investigated tools.

Where,
r: rotor angular velocity
25
If the turbine/governor set is not modelled, the generator mechanical torque input Tm is
assumed to be constant. If a generator is modelled with mechanical power input Pm , and
rotor speed variations are ignored ( n r = 1 ), then Tm = Pm p.u.
However, if Pm input is chosen and rotor speed variations are taken into consideration,
Tm Pm p.u. The variation of Tm with machine speed is given by equation (2); the
assumption, Tm is constant does not hold (Kundur, 1994).
Tm =

Where, n and r are the synchronous speed and rotor angular speed respectively.
The swing equation, expressed in terms of torque, is given in (3) . If the turbine model
output is Pm , expression (2 ) for evaluating Tm is substituted in (3) . The resultant equation
is linearised around the equilibrium point (Kundur, 1994).

Where:
H : inertia constant

K D : damping constant representing friction
Generator models with Pm input give results that exhibit better damping than models that
use Tm (E. Johansson et al., 2002), (J.G Slootweg et al., 2002). PSS/E, DIGSILENT and
PST generator models have Pm input and the rotor speed variations are considered,
whereas EUROSTAG and PSCAD models use Tm as input.
3.2.1.1.4
If the system matrix is defined in terms of absolute rotor speed and angle deviations, one
or two zero eigenvalues result if the system has no infinite bus model. One of the zero
eigenvalues appears due to lack of uniqueness of absolute rotor angles.
The second zero eigenvalue appears if all generator torques are assumed to be
independent of speed deviations (Kundur, 1994), (N. Martin and L.T.G Lima, 1989), (G.
Rogers, 2000).
To eliminate the zero eigenvalues, one of the generators can be chosen as a reference and
the angle and speed deviations of all the other machines are measured with respect to the
reference. The relative values become the new state variables replacing the absolute ones.
27
In EUROSTAG, the rotor angle reference is a virtual centre of inertia that rotates at an
angular speed col given by equation (4) (EUROSTAG, 2002). The user may also choose
a reference rotating at the network nominal frequency n .
col =

MT
M
j =1
(4)
Where M T = M j and M j = H j S Nj
j =1
n : number of generators
H j : generator js inertia constant
S Nj : generator js apparent power rating
In PSS/E and PSCAD the reference rotates at nominal frequency n . In DIGSILENT, the
program automatically chooses one of the generators ( j ) to be the reference. In PST the
user may choose one of the generators as reference.
3.2.1.1.5
Magnetic saturation
The calculated initial values of flux linkages and field voltages are affected by the
modelling of machine saturation (PTI, PSS/E, 2002). Saturation may be assumed to affect
either:
(i)
d axis only or
(ii)
28
In (CIGRE Task Force, 1996) it is illustrated that the method of saturation modelling may
be an important factor in the determination of system damping performance.
In PSS/E, DIGSILENT, and PST the user specifies two saturation parameters S1.0 and
S1.2 corresponding to 1.0 and 1.2 p.u terminal voltage (flux linkage) respectively.
These saturation parameters are determined from the open circuit characteristic (OCC)
curve of the generator as described in (K.K Kabarere, K.A Folly and A.I Petroianu,
2004). The saturation characteristics may be represented using several functions e.g.
two-piece linear, exponential, quadratic.
The choice of the function has little effect on the accuracy of the model (CIGRE Task
Force, 1996). In PSS/E, the user may choose a generator model with quadratic or
exponential function. In EUROSTAG, saturation parameters are defined as m and n
calculated from S1.0 and S1.2 (5).
S1.2
S1.0
m = S1.0 and n =
ln (1.2 )

(5)
29
In PSCAD the OCC curve is defined through ten user defined points.
All the tools under investigation use a nominal model of transmission line. PSS/E and
PSCAD in addition have an equivalent model.
3.2.1.3 Load
The static load at a bus may be modelled by either exponential functions (6) and (7) or
polynomial functions (8) and (9) also known as ZIP model (Kundur, 1994). These models
account for both voltage and frequency dependency of loads.
P = P0 (V ) (1 + K pf f

(6)
Q = Q0 (V ) (1 + K qf f
(7 )
(8)
(9)
P = P0 p1V 2 + p 2V + p3 (1 + K pf f
Q = Q0 q1V 2 + q 2V + q3 (1 + K qf f
V =
V
and f = f f 0
V0
(10)
30
Where:
P, Q
The parameters of the exponential function are a and b . If these parameters are equal to
0, 1, or 2, the model represents constant power, constant current or constant impedance
characteristics respectively.
The coefficients p1 , p 2 and p3 ( q1 , q 2 and q3 ) in the ZIP model define the proportion of
constant impedance (Z), constant current (I) and constant power (P) components
respectively.
All the tools except PST can model the frequency dependency of loads.
3.2.2
Solution methodology
31
A vector x j in which all the elements except the j th one are equal to those of x0 is
evaluated. The j th element differs from the corresponding value in x0 by x j . If x j is
sufficiently small, the j th column of A matrix, A j is estimated from:
x j x 0 = x j = A j x j
(11)
The user has to specify the perturbation size xj . Its value affects the A matrix and hence
the eigenvalues. The perturbation size xj should be small enough to ensure correct linear
approximation but it should not be too small to cause a null column in A. A typical value
of xj is 0.0001.
Once a perturbation has been applied to a given state variable, the network solution has to
be re-converged prior to calculating the state variable derivatives. The value of network
solution tolerance affects the A matrix.
PST uses a similar linearization procedure as in PSS/E. The differences between the two
tools are:
- PSS/E user chooses perturbation size xj ; PST user does not choose the perturbation
size.
- In PSS/E xj is fixed; PST chooses xj to be the greater of 0.0001 and (0.001*state
variable).
32
The eigenvalues of the A matrix are calculated using the orthogonal upper triangular
(QR) method in all the simulation tools.
In PSS/E, the user can also introduce data in text format. The program reads load flow
data separately from the dynamic data. These are given as two distinct raw data files.
In PST, data can be introduced only in text format.
Accessibility to the system matrices is important for controller design and parameter
setting purposes e.g. design of PSS, TCSC, SVC and AVR. The B and C matrices are of
interest in the formulation of the mode controllability and observability matrices.
33
PSS/E and PST allow the user access to all four system matrices, EUROSTAG only
allows A matrix. DIGSILENT does not allow access to any of the matrices. The
eigenvectors and participation factors are important for placement of power system
support devices.
PSS/E gives the normalised complex right eigenvectors from which the user can deduce
local area and inter area electromechanical modes of oscillation. The program also gives
the normalised participation factors for all the system modes.
PST gives both the left and right eigenvectors and normalised complex participation
factors. DIGSILENT gives the normalised complex participation factors but only for the
machine state variables i.e. does not include state variables for controllers and other
devices.
In addition to the numerical values, the program gives a graphical representation of the
participation factors. Users can easily deduce local area and inter area electromechanical
modes of oscillations from the graphical representation.
EUROSTAG does not give eigenvectors and participation factors. Users have to use other
programs to determine the electromechanical modes of oscillations. Table 1 summarises
the comparison of simulation tools.

SUBSTATIONS

In this study, we consider a small part of the network, the Centurion Area (Southern part
of Tshwane Network), the model of which is depicted in Fig. 5. It consists of six
synchronous machines, four of which are synchronous compensators used only for
reactive power support. There are 38 buses in the system, with a total of 1319.9 MW and
587.7 MVAr.

CHAPTER 5
In this chapter, we will describe the power flow analysis of the Centurion network using
the Gauss-Seidel Method as it applies to the steady-state performance of the power
system.
The Gauss-Seidel technique is one of the methods of load-flow analysis. It shares with
the Jacobi method simplicity of programming for computer solution, but offers the
additional benefit of improved convergence performance.
Whereas the Jacobi method calculates new values for all busbar voltages before replacing
old values of voltage with those newly calculated; the Gauss-Seidel uses each busbar
voltage immediately after it is calculated. This leads to an improved convergence
performance.
The basic Centurion network equations presented here also apply to their representation
in the analysis of system stability. The Centurion network is assumed to be balanced;
which allows for a single-phase representation.

5.1 Introduction
Power flow studies, commonly known as load flow, form an important part of power
system analysis. They are necessary for planning, economic scheduling, and control of an
existing system as well as planning its future expansion. The problem consists of
determining the magnitudes and phase angle of voltages at each bus and active and
reactive power flow in each line.
In solving a power flow problem, the system is assumed to be operating under balanced
conditions. Four quantities are associated with each bus. These are voltage magnitude V,
phase angle , real power P, and reactive power Q. The system buses are generally
classified into three types:
Slack bus: one bus, known as slack or swing bus, is taken as reference where the
magnitude and phase angle of the voltage are specified. This bus makes up the
difference between the scheduled loads and generated power that are caused by the
losses in the network.
Load buses: At these buses the active and reactive powers are specified. The
magnitude and the phase angle of the bus voltages are unknown. These buses are
called P-Q buses.
Regulated buses: These buses are the generator buses. They are also known as
voltage-controlled buses. The phase angles of the voltages and reactive power are
41
to be determined. The limits on the value of the reactive power are also specified.
These buses are called P-V buses.
Consider i a typical bus of the Centurion network. Transmission lines are represented by
their equivalent models where impedances have been converted to per unit
admittances on a common MVA base. Application of KCL to this bus results in:
I i = y i 0 Vi + y i1 ( Vi V1 ) + y i 2 ( Vi V2 ) + + y in ( Vi Vn )
= ( y i 0 + y i1 + y i 2 + + y in ) Vi y i1 V1 y i 2 V2 y in Vn
(12)

From the above relation, the mathematical formulation of the power flow problem results
in a system of algebraic nonlinear equations which must be solved by iterative
techniques.
In the power flow study, it is necessary to solve the set of nonlinear equations represented
by (16 ) for two unknown variables at each node. In the Gauss-Seidel method, (16 ) is
solved for Vi , and the iterative sequence becomes:
Pi sch jQisch
Vi k +1 =
Vi *
y
j =0
ij
y V( )

Where, y ij is the actual admittance in per unit. Pi sch and Qisch are the net real and reactive
powers expressed in per unit. In writing the KCL, current entering bus i is assumed
positive.
Thus, for buses where real and reactive powers are injected into the bus, such as
generator buses, Pi sch and Qisch have positive values; for load buses where real and
reactive powers are flowing away from the bus, Pi sch and Qisch have negative values.

The power flow equation is usually expressed in terms of the elements of the bus
admittance matrix. Since the off-diagonal elements of the bus admittance matrix Ybus ,
Yij = y ij , and the diagonal elements are Yii = y ij , (17 ) becomes:
Pi sch jQisch

Yii includes the admittance to ground of line charging susceptance and any other fixed
admittance to ground. Since both components of voltage are specified for the slack bus,
there are 2(n 1) equations which must be solved by an iterative method.
Under normal operating conditions, the voltage magnitudes of the buses are in the
neighbourhood of 1.0 per unit or close to the voltage magnitude of the slack bus. Voltage
magnitudes at load buses are somewhat lower than the slack bus value, depending on the
reactive power demand, whereas the scheduled voltages at the generator buses are
somewhat higher.
Also, the phase angle of the load buses are below the reference angle in accordance with
the real power demand, whereas the phase angle of the generator buses may be above the
reference value depending on the amount of real power flowing into the bus.
Thus, for the Gauss-Seidel method, an initial voltage estimate of ( 1.0 + j 0.0 ) p.u for
unknown voltages is satisfactory, and the converged solution correlates with the actual
operating states.
For P Q buses, the real and reactive powers Pi sch and Qisch are known. Starting with an
initial estimate, (19 ) is solved for the real and imaginary components of voltage. For the
voltage-controlled buses ( P V buses) where Pi sch and Vi are specified, first (22 ) is
solved for Qi(k +1) , and then is used in (19 ) to solve for Vi (k +1) .
45
However, since Vi is specified, only the imaginary part of Vi (k +1) is retained, and its real
part is selected in order to satisfy:
(e i( k +1) ) 2 + ( f i (k +1) ) 2 = Vi 2
(23)
Or
ei(k +1) =
Vi 2 ( f i ( k +1) ) 2
(24)
Where, ei(k +1) and f i (k +1) are the real and imaginary components of the voltage Vi (k +1) in
the iterative sequence. The rate of convergence is increased by applying an acceleration
factor to the approximate solution obtained from each iteration.
k
Vi (k ) )
Vi (k +1) = Vi k + ( Vical
(25)
Where is the acceleration factor. Its value depends upon the system. The range of 1.3
to 1.7 is found to be satisfactory for typical systems.
The updated voltages immediately replace the previous values in the solution of the
subsequent equations. The process is continued until changes in the real and imaginary
components of bus voltages between successive iterations are within a specified
accuracy, i.e.
46
(26)
f i ( k +1) f i ( k )
For the power mismatch to be reasonably small and acceptable, a very tight tolerance
must be specified on both components of the voltage.
A voltage accuracy in the range of 0.00001 to 0.00005 p.u is satisfactory. In practice, the
method for determining the completion of a solution is based on an accuracy index set up
on the power mismatch.
The iteration continues until the magnitude of the largest element in the P and Q
columns is less than the specified value. A typical power mismatch accuracy is 0.001 p.u.
Once a solution is converged, the net real and reactive powers at the slack bus are
computed from (21) and (22 ) .
Several computer programs have been developed and Matlab Power 2 software is used in
this study for the power flow solution of the Centurion network. Each method of solution
consists of four programs. The program for the Gauss-Seidel method is Ifgauss, which is
preceded by Ifbus, and is followed by busout and lineflow.
47
Programs Ifbus, busout, and lineflow are designed to be used with two more power flow
programs. The following is a brief description of the programs used in the Gauss-Seidel
method.
Ifbus: This program requires the line and transformer parameters and transformer tap
setting specified in the input file named linedata. It converts impedances to admittances
and obtains the bus admittance matrix. The program is designed to handle parallel lines.
Ifgauss: This program obtains the power flow solution by the Gauss-Seidel method and
requires the files named busdata and load and generation in MW and Mvar, bus voltages
in per unit, and angle in degree. Loads and generation are converted to per unit quantities
on the base MVA selected.
Busout: This program produces the bus output result in a tabulated form. The bus output
result includes the voltage magnitude and angle, real and reactive power of generators
and loads, and the shunt capacitor/reactor Mvar.
48
Lineflow: This program prepares the line output data. It is designed to display the active
and reactive power flow entering the line terminals and line losses as well as the net
power at each bus. Also included are the total real and reactive losses in the system.
In order to perform the power flow analysis by Gauss-Seidel method in the MATLAB
environment, the following variables must be defined: power system base MVA, power
mismatch accuracy, acceleration factor, and maximum number of iterations. The name
(in lowercase letters) reserved for these variables are basemva, accuracy, accel, and
maxiter, respectively.
Basemva = 150;
Accel
= 1.6;
accuracy = 0.001;
maxiter = 80;
The initial step in the preparation of input file is the numbering of each bus. Buses are
numbered sequentially. Although the numbers are sequentially assigned, the buses need
not to be entered in sequence. In addition, the following data files are required.
49
BUS DATA FILE busdata: The format for the bus entry is chosen to facilitate the
required data for each bus in a single row. The information required must be included in a
matrix called busdata.
Column 1 is the bus number. Column 2 contains the bus code. Columns 3 and 4 are
voltage magnitudes in per unit and phase angle in degrees. Columns 5 and 6 are load MW
and Mvar.
Columns 7 through 10 are MW, Mvar, minimum Mvar and maximum Mvar of
generation, in that order. The last column is the injected Mvar of shunt capacitors. The
bus code entered in column 2 is used for identifying load, voltage-controlled, and slack
buses as outlined below:
This code is used for slack bus. The only necessary information for this bus is the
voltage magnitude and its phase angle.
This code is used for load buses. The loads are entered positive in megawatts and
megavars. For this bus, initial voltage estimate must be specified. This is usually 1
and 0 for voltage magnitude and phase angle, respectively. If voltage magnitude
and phase angle for this type of bus are specified, they will be taken as the initial
starting voltage for that bus instead of a flat start of 1 and 0.
50
This code is used for the voltage-controlled buses. For this bus, voltage
magnitude, real power generation in megawatts, and the minimum and maximum
limits of the megavars demand must be specified.
LINE DATA FILE linedata: Lines are identified by the node-pair method. The
information required must be included in a matrix called linedata. Columns 1 and 2 are
line bus numbers. Columns 3 through 5 contain the line resistance, reactance, and onehalf of the total line charging susceptance in per unit on the specified MVA base.
The last column is for the transformer tap setting; for lines, 1 must be entered in this
column. The lines may be entered in any sequence or order with the only restriction being
that if the entry is a transformer, the left bus number is assumed to be the tap side of the
transformer.

CHAPTER 6
In this chapter, we discuss the analysis of voltage stability for the power system. We have
considered only a small part of the Tshwane Municipality Network, Centurion. In the
same chapter, we will describe the power flow analysis of Centurion Network using the
Gauss-Seidel method, and compare the results with the Newton-Raphson method.
6.1 Introduction
A generator supplying real power into the network, and operating at either a
lagging power factor (supplying reactive power ) or a leading power factor
(absorbing reactive power).
A load absorbing real power from the network, and operating at either a lagging
power factor (absorbing reactive power) or a leading power factor (supplying
reactive power).
52
The power flow analysis involves the calculation of power flows and voltages of
transmission network for specified terminal or bus conditions. Such calculations are
required for the analysis of steady-state as well as dynamic performance of power
systems.
Voltage stability is a major problem in electric power systems that have long
transmission passages with big encumbering capacities.
53
Voltage stability studies may be limited to identify areas prone to voltage instability and
to obtain information regarding how the system voltage stability can be improved most
effectively. The main goal of voltage stability analysis is to find the point of possible
voltage collapse.
In this study, we have considered only a small part of the Tshwane Municipality
Network, Centurion. It consists of six synchronous machines, four of which are
synchronous compensators used only for reactive power support. There are 38 buses in
the system, with a total of 1319.9 MW and 587.7 Mvar.
Usually, the three-phase base volt-ampere S B and the line-to-line base voltage VB are
selected. Base current and base impedance are then dependent on S B and VB and must
obey the circuit laws.
Bus 1, NJALA is connected to the network at 450 MW as the real power at the point of
common coupling and is taken as the slack bus with its voltage adjusted to1.08 0 p.u.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the power system is said to be
stable when the voltage V = 1.0 10% in per unit at each bus. For maintaining voltage
stability, the power system is usually operated with small load angle .
From the results that we have obtained, we can see that at buses 19, 27 and 32, the
voltage V 1.0 10% .
59
The reactive sources (generators) are too far from load centres.
The reactive power supply cannot meet the reactive power demand of the system and the
reactive power cannot be moved very far in the network. Thus, this shows that our system
is unstable.
60
CHAPTER 7
This chapter discusses special methods used for enhancing power system stability. For a
given system, any one method of improving stability may not be adequate.
7.1 Introduction
Most of electric power supply systems in the world are widely interconnected, involving
connections inside utilities own territories which extend to inter-utility interconnections
and then to inter-regional and internal connections. This is done for economic reasons, to
reduce the cost of electricity, and to improve reliability of power supply.
Power system stability issues and thermal constraints limit transmission capacity. To
meet the increasing load demand and satisfy the stability and reliability criteria, either
existing transmission and generation facilities must be utilized more efficiently, or new
facilities should be added to the system.
61
The flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) has received much attention in the last 2
decades. It uses high current power electronic devices to control the voltage, power flow,
stability, etc. of a transmission system.
The relatively recent development and use of FACTS controllers in power transmission
systems has led to many applications of these controllers to improve the stability of
power networks (N.G. Hingorani, 1993), (IEEE, 1996).
Many studies have been carried out and reported in the literature on the use of these
controllers in a variety of voltage and angle stability applications, proposing diverse
control schemes and techniques for voltage and angle oscillation control (IEEE, 1996).
Several distinct models have been proposed to represent FACTS in static and dynamic
analyses (C. Terond, 1999).
Certain FACTS controllers have already been applied and others are under development.
In particular, SVC, TCSC, STATCOM, SSSC and UPFC (a combination of a SSSC and a
STATCOM) are the best known FACTS controllers (N. Yang, Q. Liu, and J.D. Calley,
1998), (M. J. Lautenberg, M.A. Pai, and K.R. Padiyar, 1997), (C.A Canizares and Z.T.
62
Faur, 1999), (L. Gyugyi, 1994), (L. Gyugyi et al., 1990), (E. Uzunovic, C.A Canizares,
and J. Reeve, 1997), (N.G. Hingorani, 2000).
With the advent of flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices (N.G. Hingorani,
2000), the unified model of single-machine infinite bus (SMIB) power system installed
with a TCSC, STATCOM and a UPFC have been developed (H.F. Wang and F.J. Swift,
1997), (H.F. Wang, 2000).
The linear methods cannot properly capture complex dynamics of the system, especially
during major disturbances. This presents difficulties for designing the FACTS controllers
in that, the controllers designed to provide desired performance at small signal conditions
do not guarantee acceptable performance in the event of major disturbances.
FACTS devices that have an integrated control function are known as the FACTS
controllers. These may consist of thyristor devices with only gate turn-on and no gate
turn-off, or with power devices with gate turn-off capability.
FACTS technology opens up new opportunities for controlling power and enhancing the
usable capacity of present, new, and upgraded lines. The possibility that current through a
line can be controlled at a reasonable cost creates a large potential of increasing the
63
capacity of existing lines with larger conductors and with the use of one under normal
and contingency conditions.
The placement of FACTS devices is based on angle stability and voltage stability. For
transient stability, the placement is based on how the devices can improve transient
stability based on the response of the devices. This can be achieved by introducing
FACTS in a bus and consider the angle improvement at that bus.
There are many placement techniques based on voltage stability. The shunt compensation
devices should be placed at the weakest bus or weakest area. The weakest bus
identification is addressed commonly based on contribution of modal analysis method or
tangent vector method (IEEE, 1996).
64
The philosophy of FACTS is to use power electronics for controlling power flow in a
transmission network, thereby allowing the transmission line to be loaded to its full
capability. Power electronic controlled devices, such as static Volt-Ampere Reactive
(VAR) compensators, have been used in transmission networks for many years.
65
The Centurion part of the power system has six synchronous generators, all of the same
kind. Instead of doing modelling and simulation for each one of them while they all have
the same characteristics, a simplified dynamic model of a power system is used in this
study, named SMIB power system.
The network under study may be reduced to the form of Fig. 8 by using Thevenins
equivalent of the transmission network, external to the machine and the adjacent
transmission system (K. R. Padiyar).
The SMIB power system is composed of a synchronous generator, which delivers power
to the infinite-bus through a double circuit transmission line. Vt and VB = Eb = V are the
generator terminal and infinite bus voltage respectively; X T , X L and X TH represent the
reactance of the transformer, transmission line per circuit and the Thevenins impedance
of the receiving end system respectively.
66
For any given system condition, the magnitude of the infinite bus voltage VB remains
constant when the machine is perturbed. However, as the systems steady state conditions
change, the magnitude of VB may change, representing a changed operating condition of
the external network. Fig. 9 shows a simplified dynamic model of SMIB using TCSC (B.
H. Li, Q. H. Wu, D. R Turner, P. Y. Wang and X. X Zhou, 2000).
The synchronous generator is represented by figure 8, with field circuit and one
equivalent damper on q-axis. The machine equations are (K.R. Padiyar, 2008):

The electrical Torque Te is expressed in terms of variables E d' , E q' , I d and I q as:

The notation for the variables and parameters described above are standard and defined in
the nomenclature (Kundur, 1994), (K.R. Padiyar, 2008), (Songklanakarin J. Sci, 2005).
70
The basic function of a Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is to add damping to the generator
rotor oscillations by controlling its excitation using auxiliary stabilizing signals. To
provide damping, the stabilizer must produce a component of electrical torque in phase
with the rotor speed deviation.
Since the purpose of a PSS is to introduce a damping torque component, a logical signal
to use for controlling generator excitation is the speed deviation r .
A PSS can be viewed as an additional control block used to enhance the system stability
(P.M. Anderson and A.A. Fouand, 1997). This block is added to the AVR, and uses
stabilizing feedback signals such as shaft speed, terminal frequency and power to change
the input signal of the AVR, and to represent the excitation control of generators as well.
Thus, the effect of the AVR is either to increase the synchronizing torque component and
decrease the damping torque component or to decrease the synchronizing torque
component and increase the damping torque component.
If the exciter transfer function and the generator transfer function between E fd and Te
were pure gains, a direct feedback of r would result in a damping torque component.
72
The purpose of a PSS is to add damping to these oscillations by modulating the excitation
of a generator such that an electrical torque in phase with the deviation of its rotor speed
is generated.
A widely used conventional lead-lag PSS is considered in this study. It consists of a gain
block with gain K p , a signal washout block, and two-stage phase compensation block
with time constants T1P , T2 P , and T3 P , T4 P . The three basic blocks of a PSS model, are
illustrated in Fig.12.
The function of a stabilizer Gain block is to determine the amount of damping. The
washout block serves as a high-pass filter, with a time constant that allows the signal
associated with oscillations in rotor speed to pass unchanged, but does not allow the
steady state changes to modify the terminal voltages.
In this structure, TWP is the washout time constant; is the speed deviation and VS is
the stabilizing signal output of PSS.
73
7.3.3.1 TCSC
Improvement of voltage and current limits on power electronics devices led to a fast
development of FACTS in the last decade. TCSC have been widely studied by many
researchers. Several TCSC devices also have been installed and operated by some
utilities (E.V. Larsen, K. Clark and et al., 1994), (J. Liang, J. Guo and X. Zhou, 1998).
TCSC is one of the most important and best known series FACTS controllers. A TCSC
controller consists of a fixed series capacitor (FC) in parallel with a thyristor controlled
reactor (TCR).
The TCR is formed by a reactor in series with a bi-directional thyristor valve that is fired
with a phase angle ranging between 90 and 180 with respect to the capacitor voltage
(CIGRE, 1996).
74
In a TCSC, two main operational controls can be clearly identified, an external control
and an internal control (N.G. Hingorani, 2000). The function of the external control is to
operate the controller to fulfil specified compensation objectives; this control directly
depends on measured system variables to define the reference for the internal control.
The function of the internal control is to provide the right gate drive signals for the
thyristor valve to produce the appropriate compensating reactance. The external control is
defined by the control objectives.
The typical steady state function of a TCSC is reactance control, but additional functions
for stability improvement such as damping controls, may be included in this control.
75
Another principal steady state function of a TCSC is power flow control, which is usually
accomplished either automatically with a slow PI controller or manual through direct
operator intervention (CIGRE, 1997), (N. Martin, H. Pinto, and J. Paserba, 2000).
The function of the internal control is to provide appropriate gate drive signals for the
thyristor valve to produce the desired compensating reactance. Thus, the external control
is the one that defines the operating function of the controller (N.G. Hingorani, 2000), (C.
Gama and R. Tenorio, 2000).
According to the variation of the conduction angle ( ) or the thyristor firing angle ( ),
this process can be modelled as a fast switch between corresponding reactance offered to
the power system. There is a steady-state relationship between and the reactance
76
X TCSC . This relationship can be described by the following equation (R.M. Marthur and
R.K. Verna, 2002):
X TCSC ( ) = X C
(38)
Where,
X C : Nominal reactance of the fixed capacitor C
X P : Inductive reactance of inductor L connected in parallel with C.
XC
XP
A TCSC is modelled here as a variable capacitive reactance within the operating region
defined by the limits imposed by .
(39)
With X TCSC min = X TCSC (180 ) = X C and X TCSC max = X TCSC ( min )
(40)
77
The structure consists of a gain block with gain K T , a signal washout block and two-stage
phase compensation blocks. The signal washout block serves as a high-pass filter, with
the time constant TWT , high enough to allow signals associated with oscillations in input
signal to pass unchanged.
78
The phase compensation block (Time constants T1T , T2T , and T3T , T4T ) provides the
appropriate phase-lead characteristics to compensate for the phase lag between input and
the output signals, 0 represents the initial conduction angle as desired by the power
flow control loop, 0 is assumed to be constant during large disturbance transient period.
7.3.3.2 SVC
Static Var Compensators (SVCs) are shunt-connected static generators and/or absorbers
whose outputs are varied so as to control specific parameters of the electric power
system.
The term static is used to indicate that SVCs, unlike synchronous compensators, have
no moving or rotating main components. Thus an SVC consists of Static Var Generator
(SVG) or absorber devices and a suitable control device.
Fig. 17 shows a simplified model of a SVC consisting of a TCR and a fixed capacitor.
The TCR is assumed to have a proportional type regulator. The parameters are in per unit
with TCR rating as base values.
79
In addition to the main function of the SVC controller, which is to control the SVC bus
voltage, the reactance of the SVC controller may be used to damp system oscillation
(C.A. Canizares, 2000).
80
The reactive elements of the compensator are connected to the transmission line through
a transformer to prevent the elements having to withstand full system voltage.
Generally, static VAR compensation is not done at line voltage; a bank of transformers
steps the transmission voltage down to a much lower level. This reduces the size and
number of components needed in the SVC, although the conductors must be very large to
handle the high currents associated with the lower voltage.
81
correction, they can rapidly provide when required. Typically, the power system control
variable controlled by SVC is the terminal bus voltage.
7.3.3.3 UPFC
The Unified Power Flow Controller is the most versatile and powerful power electronic
equipment that has emerged for the control and optimization of power flow in electrical
power transmission system, combining the features of the STATCOM and the SSSC.
The STATCOM is based on a solid state synchronous voltage source that is analogous to
an ideal synchronous machine without rotating mass. It generates a balanced set of
sinusoidal voltages at the fundamental frequency with rapidly controllable amplitude and
phase angle.
STATCOM has better characteristic over SVC; when the system voltage drops enough to
force the STATCOM output to ceiling, its maximum reactive power output will not be
affected by the voltage magnitude.
The main objective of the STATCOM is to convert a DC input voltage into AC output
voltage at fundamental frequency in order to compensate the active and reactive power
needed by the system. The basic structure of STATCOM is shown in Fig. 18.
82
The SSSC is similar to the STATCOM and it is based on a DC capacitor fed VSI that
generates a three-phase voltage at fundamental frequency, which is then injected in a
transmission line through a transformer connected in series with the system.
The main control objective of the SSSC is to directly control the current, and indirectly
the power, flowing through the line by controlling the reactive power exchange between
the SSSC and the AC system.
83
The main advantage of this controller over a TCSC is that it does not significantly affect
the impedance of the transmission system and, therefore, there is no danger of having
resonance problem. The basic structure of SSSC is shown in Fig. 19.
The UPFC can provide simultaneous control of all basic power system parameters,
transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle. It is recognized as the most
sophisticated power flow controller currently, and probably the most expensive one.
84
The rapid and almost instantaneous responses make it suitable for many applications
requiring effective steady-state power flow control and dynamic stability improvement.
A basic UPFC functional scheme is shown in Fig.20.
The UPFC consists of two identical voltage-source inverters: one in shunt and the other
one in series with the line, sharing a common DC storage capacitor, and connected to the
power system through coupling transformers.
The series inverter is controlled to inject a symmetrical three phase voltage system, of
controllable magnitude and phase angle in series with the line to control active and
reactive power flows on the transmission line.
85
In the present study, a washout time constant of TWP = TWT = 1.0 sec is used. The
controller gains K T and K P and the time constants T1T , T2T , T3T and T4T and T1P , T2 P ,
T3 P and T4 P are to be determined, the damping coefficient D = 0 .
In the case of PSS, the stabilizing signal output VS is zero during steady state conditions.
In the case of TCSC-based controller, and 0 are constant during steady state
conditions. During dynamic conditions, conduction angle ( ) and hence X TCSC ( ) is
modulated to improve power system stability.
The desired value of compensation is obtained through the change in the conduction
angle ( ), according to the variation in . The effective conduction angle during
dynamic conditions is given by: = 0 +
Here, Vs and Vr are assumed to be sending and receiving-end voltages. In the UPFC
model it is assumed that the sending end corresponds to a power plant while the receiving
end to an electric power network.
86
The receiving end voltage may not cause any phase angle change, because Vr is an
infinite bus voltage. The phase angle of Vs is adjusted according to the power demand for
the power plant. A phase difference of 10
voltages is simulated.
7.3.5
Based on the Siemens AG Database, the cost function for TCSC and UPFC are
developed. The cost function for UPFC and TCSC are:
Where C1UPFC and C1TCSC are in US $/kVAr and S is the operating range of the FACTS
Controllers in kVAr.
87
The cost function for TCSC and UPFC are shown in Fig. 21.
Figure 21: Cost function of the FACTS Controllers: TCSC and UPFC
88
CHAPTER 8
In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed models of power system stability
controllers, simulation studies are presented in this chapter. Various power system
controllers are used to control the oscillatory problem, namely a PSS including AVR and
a TCSC. On the other hand a SVC and a UPFC were added to the system to improve
stability performances.
To assess the performances and robustness of the PSS and the TCSC under a wide range
of fault disturbances, as well as in order to simultaneously tune their parameters, the
MATLAB/SIMULINK model of power system shown in Fig.8 is developed.
The model for calculation of id , iq , E d' , E q' , E fd and Pe is shown in Fig.22 and the
MATLAB/SIMULINK model of synchronous generator with PSS and TCSC controller is
shown in Fig.23.
89

Figure 23: SIMULINK model of synchronous generator with PSS and TCSC
To evaluate the performance of the proposed simultaneous design approach, the response
with the proposed PSS-AVR and UPFC controllers are compared with the response of the
simultaneously designed PSS including AVR, TCSC and SVC.
91
In the figures to follow, the response without the controllers is shown with dotted line,
the response with the simultaneously designed PSS including AVR, TCSC and SVC is
shown with thin solid line and the response with the simultaneously designed PSS
including AVR and UPFC controllers is shown with thick solid line. The following cases
are considered:
A. Before Disturbance
The system power angle response is shown in Fig. 24. From this figure, it is clear that,
without controllers even though the system is stable, power system oscillations are poorly
damped.
The PSS including AVR with TCSC and SVC controllers significantly suppresses the
oscillation in the power angle and provides good damping characteristics to low
frequency oscillations by stabilizing the system quickly.
Application of both PSS-AVR and UPFC controllers where the controllers are tuned by
the proposed simultaneous design approach gives the best response in terms of overshoot
and settling time. The settling time is greatly reduced with the simultaneous design
approach and the first swing in the power angle is also slightly suppressed.

Figs. 25-30 show the variation of speed deviation , currents I d , I q , electrical power

contingency.
From these figures, it is clear that, the simultaneous design of PSS including AVR and
UPFC controllers by the proposed approach significantly improves the stability
performance of the power system and power system oscillations are well damped out.
96
B. After Disturbance
Case 1: Three Phase Fault
At time T = 2 sec, a fault is applied at the generator terminal busbar by increasing the
mechanical power input in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed simultaneous
design approach under disturbance. The original system is restored upon the fault
clearance.
The system response under disturbance contingency is shown in Figs. 31-32. From these
figures, it is clear that PSS including AVR and UPFC controllers operate in a coordinated
manner and improves the stability performance of the power system compared to the case
where only PSS-AVR with TCSC and SVC are acting. The system has good damping
characteristics to low frequency oscillations.

Voltage instability could be minimized with the help of FACTS Controllers. From Fig.
35, we can see that according to the International Energy Agency, the use of FACTS
Controllers enhances power system performances, improves the quality of supply and
also provides an optimal utilization of the existing resources. Thus, the system is stable.

CHAPTER 9
CONCLUSION
In this study, operating principles and main benefits achievable with the use of power
electronic converters-based compensating devices have been introduced. FACTS devices
have been reviewed.
Their capability to provide reactive power support has been shown to increase power
flow and stability margins. It has been highlighted that FACTS devices can be augmented
with supplementary controllers which can provide additional benefits such as increased
damping of power system oscillations.
A systematic procedure for modelling and simulation of a power system installed with a
PSS and a FACTS-based controller and a series of results associated with stability issues
of Centurion network and the inclusion of some controllers is presented.
101
Power systems are exposed to various dynamic disturbances, which may cause a sudden
change in the real and reactive power balance of the system and consequent problems in
certain machines.
In order to address this problem, an effort is made in this dissertation to study technical
issues of FACTS controllers in terms of types, capacity and placement.
This dissertation has provided a review of the power system stability phenomena
and lays a foundation based on relatively simple physical reasoning.
Matlab/Simulink model of SMIB and its associated FACTS controllers and
Matlab Power 2 software are developed.
In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed models of power system
stability controllers, simulation studies are presented.
102
In power transmission system, the use of FACTS controllers has led to many applications
of these controllers not only to improve the stability of the existing power network
resources but also to provide operating flexibility to the power system.
Power system instability could be at least minimized or relieved with the help of the most
recently developed devices called FACTS controllers.
Although this dissertation has covered some of the interesting FACTS Controllers, it did
not investigate in detail the placement of FACTS Controllers. This is an area of future
research.
