The inability to quickly isolate the faulty sections of the direct current (DC) network damages the converters and the transmission system. Further delay in fault interruption can be escalated to the generation system thus ...

Grid connected PV systems continue to attract investors and electricity customers all over the world. Due to interconnection with the utility grid, the system can glean some benefits such as selling PV electricity surplus ...

Voltage collapse tends to occur due to the voltage instability created during large faults. As a last resort, under-voltage load shedding (UVLS) is performed after all the available power operation and control mechanisms ...

This paper investigates the impact of integrating large-scale Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based wind energy conversion system (WECS) on the voltage stability of the 52-bus, 330 kV Nigerian power grid. Indices ...

Electric power is substantially an important resource in the modern world. With the increase in demand for electric energy, there is a need to search for alternative energy sources because conventional resources are being ...

Dynamic Voltage stability analysis of any system is studied by considering load changes within the system and how voltage magnitudes at the load buses within the system are affected by the load changes. The analysis can ...

Tuning of the Voltage Source Converters, High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) controllers is a critical undertaking continuously carried out in power system operation to ensure system stability is kept under control ...

Shore to ship power connection for docked ship has recently been applied as one way of limiting pollution in ports. This paper studies the effect that a shore to ship connection at the port of Mombasa would have on the ...

Voltage stability challenge in power systems remains one of the major concerns in system planning and operation. The ability of a power system to maintain acceptable voltage levels at all buses in the system under normal ...

This paper proposes a new optimization technique that uses Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in residential grid connected photovoltaic systems. The optimization technique targets the sizing of the battery storage system. ...
