Abstract: | In recent years, electric power systems have become more and more complicated and large‐scale. As a result, transient stability problems and voltage problems in power systems are being taken more seriously. In this paper, switching techniques using serial and parallel resistors for power system stabilization are proposed, and computer simulations and experiments using a transmission simulator were performed. The effectiveness of the stabilization was shown because a system swing was damped off by the on–off control of the series and parallel resistors. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
