Distributed FACTS for Power System Transient Stability Control

The high penetration of renewable energy sources, combined with a limited possibility to expand the transmission infrastructure, stretches the system stability in the case of faults.For this reason, operators are calling for additional control flexibility in the grid.In this Goalie - Sticks - Senior paper, we propose the deployment of switchable reactors and capacitors distributed on the grid as a control resource for securing operations during severe contingencies and avoiding potential blackouts.

According to the operating principles, the line reactance varies by switching on or off a certain number of distributed series reactors and capacitors and, therefore, the stabilizing control rule is based on a stepwise time-discrete control action.A control strategy, based on dynamic optimization, is proposed and tested on a Abrasive realistic-sized transmission system.
