This paper examines the impact of a thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) on power system reliability. In this application, the TCSC is employed to adjust the natural power sharing of two different parallel transmission lines and, therefore, enable the maximum transmission capacity to be utilized. The improvement is measured using the two reliability risk indices of loss of load expectation (LOLE) and loss of energy expectation (LOEE).

Summary form only given. This paper presents the adjustable speed hydro (ASH) machine concept as an alternative for obtaining better utilisation of power networks. Transmission lines appearing as bottlenecks with respect to power demand may increase their transfer capacity as ASH machines are introduced in the network. This is achieved by a quick and precise regulation of rotor currents and thereby active and reactive power out of the machine. During faults in the network, these properties map be utilised to maintain near constant power production and torque equilibrium. This in turn gives less speed deviation and better ability to control the network behaviour. Hence, the ASH machine can give a considerable contribution to the network both during and after serious conditions in the power system.

Voltage magnitude of a distribution system is usually controlled using an on-load tap changer transformer with AVC relay. However, the trend of integrating embedded generation such as wind farms into distribution networks makes it difficult for the AVC relay to maintain voltage magnitude within the statutory limits, particularly if the generator is connected at a long distance from the substation where the relay is located. This paper investigates the use of reactive power injected by a capacitor as a means for assisting the AVC relay for maintaining network voltage magnitude within the required limits. The paper also investigates the effect of the location of such a capacitor on the network voltage profile and network losses.

With an actual thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) in Northeast China's Yi-Feng 500 kV UHV transmission system as engineering background, this paper deals with the realization of such a compensation device in a dynamic simulation laboratory. Emphasis is laid on the TCSC controllers. Based on response time and different requirements of the power system, TCSC controllers are divided into three parts-bottom control for mitigating synchronous resonance (SSR), middle control for adjusting power flow and upper control for enhancing power system transient stability. The dynamic simulation results show that they work in a coordinated fashion. Finally, the ANN-based /spl alpha/-th order inverse system controller, used in upper control, is introduced and studied by dynamic simulation for the first time to enhance transient stability. Simulation results show that this new controller has much better operating features than conventional ones, such as of PID controllers, etc.

This paper presents the application of a rule-based expert system to the service restoration of distribution networks. The principal objective of the developed restoration plan is to minimize the number of switching operations without violating loading constraints in all elements of the network while retaining its open loop structure. The obtained results are encouraging.

This paper presents the analysis of the interaction between the damping and other control functions of a unified power flow controller (UPFC) installed in power systems. A case of negative interaction between the UPFC damping control and voltage control of the DC link capacitor is studied and then an algorithm for their co-ordinated design is suggested. An example is given in the paper to demonstrate the analytical results and the success of the co-ordinated design.

In this paper a methodology is presented for load management in industries, which are convenient for rescheduling of technological processes and inconvenient for load shedding or interruption. The proposed methodology determines an optimal scheduling (rescheduling) of individual technological processes with the aim of reducing system peak load. This methodology takes into consideration all technological and/or economical constraints (demands). The presented methodology is based on mixed integer programming and applied to system peak load reduction of Elektrovojvodina.
