Determination of optimal location of FACTS device to improve integration rate of wind energy in presence of MBPSS regulator

Abstract

This study aims to improve oscillation damping and the rate of integration of wind energy into the grid. To this end, this study focuses on selecting the optimal location of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices, such as the static synchronous series compensator, the static synchronous parallel compensator, and the unified power flow controller (UPFC). This study proposes new methods to determine the optimal locations of FACTS devices in the transmission system. To further improve power oscillation damping and the rate of integration of wind energy, FACTS devices were combined with a multiband power system stabiliser (MBPSS) at each synchronous machine. The MBPSS is an advanced power system damping controller that offers clear advantages over conventional power system stabilisers in the damping of low-frequency oscillatory modes. A comparative study was performed on the two-zone, four-machine (Kundur) multi-machine test network containing a wind farm to select the best combination of FACTS devices with the MBPSS. The results indicate that a combination of UPFC with MBPSS is favourable in terms of improving stability and increasing the rate of integration of wind energy into the grid.

A strategy for optimal and selective utilization of multiple interline DC power flow controllers in VSC-HVDC grids

“…For example, load management and re-dispatching of generators are done to enhance the steady-state security and voltage support in power systems [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Moreover, the optimal placement, determination of the number of required devices, and control reference specification of various FACTSs devices have been fairly studied to increase loadability, compensate the profile of voltage, enhance steadystate security, etc [21][22][23][24][25].…”

Implementation of Grid-Connected Wind Energy during Fault Analysis Using Moth Flame Optimization with Firebug Swarm Optimization

“…The energy issues presented by the use of wind turbines to generate electricity can be solved in a variety of ways. Utilizing digital-based FACTS devices, that have been proved to be quite helpful in terms of improved quality [11], [12], is one of the finest choices. If a fault develops on the grid that is connected to a wind turbine power plant, FACTS Devices are the best solution to ensure the stability of a big energy device network [13].…”

Grid interface control of wind–solar generator in Hail region of Saudi Arabia using FOPI controller

“…is a result of the world's rising energy needs, climate change, and desire for a better planet (Kumar et al, 2023b). However, these resources are only available during certain times of the year, and the load needs change over time (Zdiri et al, 2019;Bilel et al, 2020). Iov et al (2007) provided a comprehensive overview of the use of power electronic devices with renewable sources.…”
