Open transmission access and the evolution of more socialised companies for generation, transmission and distribution affects the formulation of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) problem. So, the traditional three area system is modified to take into account the effect of bilateral contracts on the dynamics.

The combined system is used for power conditioning application to improve power quality in the distribution network. The photovoltaic supported CHBMLI makes attractive solution because this inverter need isolated dc source in the dc side of the each H-bridge. The SAPF is used to compensate both reactive and harmonic components of the current drawn by the non linear load. Additionally, it also balances the supply current for unbalanced load. In this paper it is shown that the PV based multilevel inverter configured SAPF not only compensates the harmonic current, reactive power and unbalancing but also injects real power whenever it is demanded in the distribution system. The compensation and power flow control in this paper is developed based on the instantaneous power theory. The simulation results presented in this paper evidently proves the compensation capabilities and real power injection. The simulation studies are carried out under power system computer aided design PSCAD/EMTDC 4.2 environment.","PeriodicalId":158903,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power and Energy Systems","volume":"494 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121954671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our focus will be on the impact time delayed feedback may have on the stability and performance of the single machine infinite bus (SMIB) power system model. For this model, we construct appropriate stability charts and bifurcation diagrams, which serve to exhibit the impact time delays may have on stability and performance.

The system can be applied to adjacent feeders to compensate for supply-voltage on the main feeder and full compensation of supply-voltage imperfections on the other feeders. In the proposed configuration, all converters are connected back to back on the dc side and share a common dc-link capacitor. Therefore, power can be transferred from one feeder to adjacent feeders to compensate for sag. The performance of the MC-DVR as well as the adopted control algorithm is illustrated by simulation.

The transient period and peak overshoot of DC bus voltage using a PI controller is observed to be higher in initial and load change conditions. The artificial neural network is a powerful tool used to generate the current signal with very low oscillation and faster settling time.
