An Add-On Self-Tuning Control System for a UPFC Application

An Add-On Self-Tuning Control System for a UPFC Application Abstract: This paper presents an add-on self-tuning (ST) control scheme for a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) to assist its conventional PI control system in damping power oscillations. The ST control algorithm is based on a Pole Shift (PS) technique that has previously been successfully applied […]


Adaptive PI Control of STATCOM for Voltage Regulation

Adaptive PI Control of STATCOM for Voltage Regulation Abstract: STATCOM can provide fast and efficient reactive power support to maintain power system voltage stability. In the literature, various STATCOM control methods have been discussed including many applications of proportional-integral (PI) controllers. However, these previous works obtain the PI gains via a trial-and-error approach or extensive […]
