Power system is often vulnerable to low frequency electromechanical oscillations due to the interconnected configuration. A common lead-lag controller is used for one of the FACTS devices known as Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) as supplementary controller for damping purpose in order to improve transient stability and power oscillation damping of the system. As Bees Algorithm (BA) optimized the parameters of the TCSC lead-lag controller, thus its named is TCSC-BALL. In this study, the optimization problem is formulated as a constrained optimization with the main objective is to move the system eigenvalues to the left as far as possible in order to improve the system stability. Then, the system is simulated in MATLAB by using The Phillips-Heffron model for single machine infinite bus (SMIB) with responses of increases in mechanical power at t=1 second. The performance is observed in terms of electromechanical eigenvalues position on s-plane and damping responses of low-frequency oscillations where the system implemented with the TCSC-BALL controller given better results as compared to the system without and with the inclusion of conventional Power System Stabilizer (CPSS).
This paper presents a new approach for designing the Power System Stabilizer. As in power system network, low frequency oscillation always occurs for a long period of time that will decrease the power transfer capability. Power System Stabilizer known as PSS is being installed as one of the control devices in a generating unit. The conventional PSS (CPSS) is the most commonly used in power system, which uses lead-lag compensation. The lack in CPSS has drawn an interest of designing the new approach of PSS to outperform the conventional one. Thus, Bees Algorithm (BA) which is known as one of the numerous intelligent optimization methods is proposed in this paper. It is appears to aid the system stability by optimizing the PSS parameters tuning. The PSS with the BA approach is labelled as BA-PSS and being tested on single machine infinite bus system (SMIB) in Matlab/Simulink environment. BA-PSS performance is compared with CPSS as to validate the ability of the proposed method to achieve great performance in power system stability enhancement. Different type of mechanical input is being injected into the system and the result shows that BA-PSS is capable to optimize the parameters tuning of PSS. BA-PSS also improved the unstable or poorly stable modes as the system achieve the stability with lower overshoot and less time settling. The superior response of BA-PSS controller proved the ability of BA approach in which is capable to solve the lack in CPSS with better performance in enhancing the system stability.
Datong area has abundant wind energy. Due to problem in large scale of wind power grid connection, this paper introduces virtual power plant concept. As for beginning, power source characteristics of the wind farm, pumped storage power station and the thermal power plant are taken for analysis. Three types of different power plants are chosen to represent the virtual power plant modeling as well as adopting the NSGA2 optimization. As a conclusion, this case study proved that virtual power plant can increase the benefits of each power plant and the wind power plant output power curve become smoother.
