Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPower System Oscillations Damping Using Unified Power Flow Controller-Based StabilizerLokman H. Hassan, M. Moghavvemi, Haider A.F. MohamedProblem statement: The Phillips-Heffron model of a power system with UPFC published by AJAS, demonstrates the effect of the UPFC in improving power system oscillation stability. Unfortunately, some of the equations have not been correctly derived and so working with this model in its existing form is misleading. Approach: In this study, the model is revisited and the equations are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,936 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRobust Decentralized Control of Unified Power Flow ControllerHossein Shayeghi, Ali AbdolalipourA new approach based on structured singular value is proposed for the robust decentralized Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) design. To achieve decentralization, using the schauder fixed point theorem the synthesis and analysis of Multi-Input Multi-output (MIMO) control system is translated into set of equivalent Multi-Input Single-Output (MISO) control system. Power systems such as the other industrial plants contain different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,151 accessesView PDF Cite
