Voltage profile enhancement by fuzzy controlled MLI UPFC

A fuzzy logic controlled multi-level inverter based unified power flow controller system is used in a transmission line to maintain voltage profile and protect/compensate against over-voltages, under-voltages, sags and swells. The controller is designed as a stand-alone module and tested in PSCAD-EMTDC environment. The results show that the controller is robust and can rapidly maintain voltage stability under different load conditions.     

Determination of Maximum Loadability by a Mixed Complementarity Formulation of the Adjusted Power Flow Problem

The ever-increasing demand for power leads to increased loading on the power system. It is necessary to determine the maximum loadability of power systems so that a sufficient margin can be maintained. Maximum loadability can be determined by solving the power flow equations successively while increasing the loading gradually; conventionally, the unadjusted power flow problem is solved. This also helps in determining the voltage profile with respect to loading. However, determination of loadability margin by the solution of adjusted power flow problem is challenging in the presence of certain limits such as the limits of tap-changing and phase-shifting transformers, and the operating limits of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers. In the course of determination of maximum loading, it is likely that these limits are encountered. A novel method for systematic handling of these limits is presented in this paper. A Mixed Complementarity Problem formulation is proposed for inclusion of the limits of tap-changing and phase-shifting transformers, and FACTS controllers. The proposed method is tested on the IEEE 300 bus system and the WSCC 9 bus system in the presence of FACTS controllers.     

统一潮流控制器与串补对线路保护影响的比较分析

统一潮流控制器(UPFC)通过串联变压器在输电线路注入幅值和相角均可控的电压矢量,等效串联接入电容或电感,从而提高电网输送效率。与此相似,输电线路通过接入串补可提升线路的输送能力。目前串补在超高压输电线路上有着广泛应用,串补对保护的影响有完备的处理措施,而UPFC这一全新电力电子设备接入系统后对周边系统及保护的影响尚无深入研究。本文通过比较分析UPFC与串补接入系统后电气特征、对保护的影响及相应的保护配置等方面的异同,明确UPFC在各种运行情况下的等效特性以及保护适应性解决策略,为UPFC接入后系统的稳定可靠运行奠定基础。     

遗传算法在UPFC的PID控制器参数优化中应用

阐述了统一潮流控制器(UPFC)的原理及其控制器设计,采用串联侧输出电压、并联侧输出电流的横向分量和纵向分量为控制量,建立了比例积分(PI)控制时的系统方程.以含UPFC的单机无穷大系统进行仿真,结果表明UPFC可提高系统暂态稳定性.利用遗传算法对PID控制器参数进行优化,采用偏差绝对值对时间的积分性能指标作为最小目标函数,同时加入控制输入的平方项并引入惩罚功能,以防止控制能量过大和超调.仿真结果显示,参数优化后系统暂态过程变短,相关量的波动降低,进一步提高了系统的暂态稳定性能.
