On the Dynamics and Statics of Power System Operation: Optimal Utilization of FACTS Devices and Management of Wind Power Uncertainty

Nowadays, power systems are dealing with some new challenges raised by the major changes that have been taken place since 80’s, e.g., deregulation in electricity markets, significant increase of electricity demands and more recently large-scale integration of renewable energy resources such as wind power. Therefore, system operators must make...

Transient stability analysis of a distribution network with distributed generators

This letter describes the transient stability analysis of a 10-kV distribution network with wind generators, microturbines, and CHP plants. The network being modeled in Matlab/Simulink takes into account detailed dynamic models of the generators. Fault simulations at various locations are investigated. For the studied cases, the critical...
