The controllable capacitive reactance can be used as the input variable for the external controller of a series capacitive reactance compensator (SCRC) to improve the damping of low-frequency oscillations of the rotor angle and active power in a power system. Conventional linear PI controllers are tuned for best performance at one specific operating point of the nonlinear power system. At other operating point its performance degrades. Nonlinear optimal neurocontrollers are able to overcome this degradation. In this work, the dual heuristic dynamic programming (DHP) optimization algorithm is applied to design an external nonlinear optimal neurocontroller for the SCRC. Simulation studies using PSCAD/EMTDCO software are presented.","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116713423","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}

Special interest is focused on the prediction of critical inter-area oscillatory modes of power systems based on neural networks. After selection of inputs for the neural network and proper training, the stability condition of the power system can be predicted with high accuracy. Hereby, the neural network outputs are assigned to activations of sampling points in the complex plain depending on the distances to the eigenvalues. This method depends highly on the reliability of the measured input data. Missing or bad input data will automatically lead to false prediction results. This paper proposes different methods, which improve the prediction robustness by detecting bad data inputs and outliers.

The interconnection lines were heavily loaded by the large power import and the coordination between the system operators was not sufficient to mitigate the overload. The consequent loss of those important branches caused cascading outages of the lines interconnecting the Italian system and the remaining part of the UCTE (Union for the Coordination of the Transmission of Electricity) system. This resulted in a very sudden loss of synchronism between the Italian system and the UCTE grids, causing the loss of the whole import. The consequent power unbalance caused the frequency in Italy to decline; the automatic load shedding procedure was not able to shed load enough to balance the generation and the load, and this resulted in the blackout. The paper provides a short description of the pre-fault system operation and of the main events that triggered the blackout, identifying some of the main causes that resulted in the separation of the Italian system and the blackout. In addition, issues related to the misoperation of the Italian automatic procedure to prevent the blackout are discussed.","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127314886","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}

The system operator generates a signal, area control error (ACE) signal at PJM, based on the difference between these two parameters. The expected goal is to keep the system near nominal 60 or 50 Hz. Traditionally, frequency regulation is managed by varying the output of fossil fuel or hydro generators connected to the electric grid. The authors present a new method in which electric energy is recycled. First, absorbing energy when it is in abundance, then discharging the same for the desired frequency regulation effect. The proposed system is based on kinetic energy storage technology in high-speed flywheels. Performance modeling results, based on actual ACE signals, indicate that a modular flywheel system matrix is effective in providing frequency regulation. The cost of this system is attractive compared with today's generator-based approach. The controlled injection or absorption of reactive power, inherent to the system, extents its capability to provide voltage support. Further, fast acting control electronics allow for the damping of grid oscillations. All the above functions, once deployed in moderate numbers, could help prevent frequency and voltage shifts that have been linked to significant blackouts in recent history","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122572714","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}
