Recent developments in transient stability margin (TSM) prediction using the energy-based direct method have included excitation controllers, power system stabilizers (PSSs) and/or static VAr compensators (SVCs). These devices can be represented in their detailed dynamic models to desired degrees of complexity while the proposed "extended" equal-area criterion can still be effectively applied. This paper describes further development of this technique to incorporate an HVDC transmission into the test network for TSM prediction. The method is examined with a practical 17-machine power network representing the South China/Hong Kong system. An SVC control scheme is also installed in a weak bus of the test network for transient stability improvement. The results obtained show that there is no sacrifice in accuracy, speed or reliability of the TSM method with SVC and HVDC realistically incorporated into the study.

This paper investigates the usefulness of a novel control method for a HVDC link system which suffers from a severe condition of low order harmonics. This control scheme uses the feedforward control method which is a directly controlled DC current at the DC link system. The studies of this paper are aimed at improving the dynamic response of a HVDC link system in disturbances such as faults. To achieve those objectives, digital time domain simulations are employed by the electromagnetic transient program for a DC system (EMTDC). This method results in stable recovery from faults at both rectifier and inverter terminal busbars for an inherently unstable HVDC system. It has been found to be robust and control performance has been enhanced.

A power system is a typical example of a nonlinear system. Its nonlinearity is amplified following a severe disturbance and it precludes the use of classical linear control techniques. In this paper, an adaptive nonlinear excitation and static phase shifter (SPS) controller is proposed to enhance the transient stability of a power system. The authors' simulation results demonstrate that the proposed controller can ensure the transient stability of a power system under a large sudden fault which may occur at the generator bus terminal.

The paper presents two new schemes of harmonic current reduction in distribution circuits. The first scheme aims at the reduction of harmonics generated by six pulse bridge rectifiers which are common nonlinear loads in industry. The new approach is based on injection of the third harmonic current into the transformer secondary. The current injected is generated in two passive filters connected between the outputs of the bridge and the common point of transformer secondary. The scheme is very effective, reducing harmonic distortion in the supply current from 27% to 4-5%. The second scheme presented aims at the reduction of harmonic distortion caused by fluorescent lamp systems. It assumes the installation of a series filter in the neutral conductor. A specially designed filter provides a low impedance path for the first harmonic current and high impedance for higher harmonics. Simulation and laboratory tests show significant reduction of harmonics in the neutral and phase conductors.

Modern power systems are so large that it is impossible to design a single central control system that would handle the overall control job. A development of techniques for the design of multivariable control systems is of considerable practical importance. The systems have a great variety of control methods, i.e., fuzzy control, neural control, multichannel control, etc. This paper reports the hierarchy power system's dynamic characteristics, accompanied by the synthesis of the interconnected power system and load frequency control method of weakly decoupling state feedback integrator.

This paper presents a physical simulation of the dynamic behaviour of voltage instability in an interconnected multimachine power system environment. The dynamic evolving process leading to eventual voltage collapse, the scenario of the progressive reactive support reduction resulting from the MXL protection relays, the OLTC operation, and the effect of switched-in capacitor banks are examined using physical facilities in the laboratory. The physical simulation results are also compared with digital simulation results. This physical investigation provides a reliable foundation for the effective development of assessment approaches and countermeasures.

A new constant switching frequency control method for single phase boost type AC-DC converters is presented. The duty cycle of operation of the converter switches in each switching period is determined such that the input average current tracks the reference template in a cycle by cycle fashion. The problems encountered in achieving smooth and stable operation and the modifications made to overcome them are discussed. The simulation studies done on the converter controlled with this method which is given the name Predicted (on-time) Equal Charge Criterion (PECC) indicate stable operation. The control complexity in this method is offset by advantages like simplified filter design, and the ability to operate under different power factors and input current levels. The proposed method is also expected to be applicable for three phase converters.
