These days' Kerala power system operate closer to their stability limits because of the economic considerations, making large amount of power transfer from long distance and an inadequate supply of reactive power which contribute to system voltage instability that eventually leads to voltage collapse. So the stability margin has to be estimated and to know the loadability of the power system is essential in the real time system for voltage stability assessment. This paper investigates the enhancement of voltage stability using Static Compensator (STATCOM) in a wind integrated Central Travancore wind integrated power system. Wind energy is gaining attention among a variety of renewable energy resources mainly because it is a clean source of energy, renewable and also its running cost and maintenance cost is very less compared to other energy sources. Wind generation requires some device to smoothen the output from a wind turbine and a STATCOM connected to the bus performs this operation along with the property of voltage stability enhancement. The studies made in this paper are done with power system analysis toolbox (PSAT), a powerful toolbox in MATLAB for power system analysis.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"312 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134427918","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}

Based on inverter configuration there are two types of STATCOM: Voltage source inverter (VSI) - based and current source inverter (CSI)-based STATCOM[2]. The closed loop feedback controller can be designed to meet different objectives. Conventional Proportional Integral (PI) controllers produce satisfactory response, provided the parameters kp and ki are well tuned.

In the power system, reliability and stability must be ensured to provide continuity of service. Transmission lines run over several kilometers will have the chance for occurrence of fault. In order to maintain stability, faults should be cleared at short span of time with recent advancements in signal processing. In this paper, a novel technique for the protection of transmission lines is proposed. The proposed system uses Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) which is widely used in recent times for power system protection. DWT is used here to extract the hidden factors from the fault signals by performing decomposition at different levels. Daubechies wavelet “dB6” is used with single level decomposition and adaptive threshold is calculated to discriminate and detect the faulty phase. The location of faults is carried out by obtaining the local fault information and remote location fault information along with the transmission line length. The system is independent of any statistical system data and has negligible fault resistance. Test system is modeled and fault signals are generated to test the reliability of the algorithm. The proposed system promises the result by detecting, classifying and locating all the ten faults possible in the transmission line of the power system.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":" 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114088414","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}

Photovoltaic (PV) module can generate direct current electricity without environmental impact and contamination when is exposed to solar radiation. Due to non linear characteristics of PV modules, which results in unique maximum power-voltage curve, it depends on the irradiation and temperature. So it needs to track the maximum power with help of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. Here the Incremental conductance (INC) algorithm is used to reduce the oscillations in steady state, improve the tracking accuracy, fast response speed. The DC link controller is used to sense the dc link voltage value and compares it with the reference value of capacitor voltage and changes the reference current correspondingly. Here DC link controller and MPPT controller are unified and produce a shoot through ratio and improve the response time of MPPT controller. Due to integrated controller the settling time is reduced. The pulses are generated for the switches of the T-source inverter. T-source inverter has advantages over Z-source inverter fewer reactive components, high voltage gain and reduces the voltage stress across the switches. The modified space vector pulse width modulation is used to reduce the harmonic distortion and to prevent unnecessary switching in the device. Integrated controller for T-source inverter based photovoltaic power conversion system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122963070","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}
