Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are systems based on power electronics using GTO or IGCT semiconductors [1] that allow a better use of the transfer capacities of the transmission lines and permit to satisfy the requirements due to the liberalizati ...
Steady operating conditions of an extra-high-voltage power line equipped with controlled shunting reactors are considered. The required control of the reactors is shown that enables the permissible levels of voltage at intermediate points of the power line ...
Many electric power generators use gas turbines as power sources. Typically they are connected to the turbines through a mechanical gearbox in order to adapt their synchronous speed to the optimal rotation speed of the turbine, which is very often much hig ...
Voltage stability imposes important limitations on the power systems operation. The system should be operated with an adequate voltage stability margin by the appropriate scheduling of reactive power resources and voltage profile. The main countermeasures ...
Increasing concerns regarding global warming caused by greenhouse gases, which are mainly generated by conventional energy resources, e.g., fossil fuels, have created significant interest for the research and development in the field of renewable energies. ...
The paper presents an automatic power management system (PMS) designed for the on-line operation of an experimental low voltage microgrid equipped with two power supplies, a kW-class fuel cell (FC) and a photovoltaic (PV) module emulator, along with a 100- ...
A highly interesting application field of the Modular Multilevel Converter is the interconnection of the European three-phase 50 Hz industrial grid with the single-phase 16 2/3 Hz railway supply. Contrary to existing technologies, the utilization of a bulk ...
This contribution presents control methods for the regulation of the voltage and the frequency on AC minigrids, fed by voltage source inverters (VSI). In order to avoid a complex communication network for the synchronization of the various VSI on a minigri ...
Variable speed pump-turbine units have become nowadays an interesting way to increase stability of electrical power networks due to their high level of operating flexibility. Different advantages offered by variable speed pump-turbine units for both pumpin ...
Growing demand for the solid state meters for power and energy measurement leads to the fully integrated Hall sensor based microsystem solutions. In this paper we describe fully integrated SOI Hall sensor based microsystem for power and energy measurements ...
