Enhancing energy utilization efficiency of Pakistani system considering FACTS devices and distributed generation: Feasibility study

Abstract

In recent years, voltage stability issues have become a serious concern with regard to the safety of electrical systems, these issues are more evident and have wider consequences in vertical networks with an insufficient reactive power reserve. Pakistan is currently suffering from the worst energy crisis in its history. Owing to an increase in energy demand, the current transmission system is becoming increasingly inadequate. It has thus become necessary to reduce losses and enhance the system voltage profile for more efficient energy utilization. In this study, the main emphasis is on assessing the feasibility of using flexible AC transmission system devices and distributed generation to compensate power failures on the power lines of the Pakistani power transmission system. The load flow and contingency analyses are performed on a 132 kV transmission system that feeds power to the Quetta electric supply company. The region of Baluchistan is studied to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The system is simulated using NEPLAN, which accurately models the details of all system elements and the optimal power flow. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method helps reduce system losses, voltage deviation, and power flow congestion, with all system constraints within permissible limits.

Research on the output coordinated strategy of a DPFC considering device fault probability

“…The volatility and intermittency nature of renewable energy output and the insufficient transmission capacity of lines may lead to overload and bidirectional power flow problems of transmission lines (Kang and Yao, 2017;Huang et al, 2019a;Zhang et al, 2022). At the same time, uncontrolled power flow will cause problems such as insufficient power supply in some regions, large transmission loss of lines, and even reduced stability and reliability of the system (Rashed et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2021).…”

Robust Iteration-dependent Least Mean Square-based Distribution Static Compensator Using Optimized PI Gains

“…Current harmonics and reactive power compensation require active line compensation to improve the currentbased distortions [5] . The shunt active power filter can be operated in power factor and zero voltage regulation modes to mitigate current-based distortions [6] . DSTATCOM is a shunt active power filter whose performance relies on the control technique employed for gate signal pulse generation [7] .…”

System Integration and Method for High-Efficiency Utilization of Solar Energy and Biomass Energy Thermochemically Based on Deep Learning

“…It needs to be converted into liquid or solid fuel with high energy density in a certain way to be effectively utilized. Regarding the utilization form of biomass energy, high-temperature pyrolysis under the condition of isolating oxygen is the simplest and most efficient method to convert biomass into carbon-containing liquid fuel [1].…”
