Item Fuzzy logic approach for reactive power coordination in grid connected wind farms to improve steady state voltage stability(Institution of Engineering and Technology journals@theiet.org, 2017) Moger, T.; Dhadbanjan, T.This study presents a fuzzy logic approach for reactive power coordination in grid connected wind farms with different types of wind generator units to improve steady state voltage stability of power systems. The load bus voltage deviation is minimised by changing the reactive power controllers according to their sensitivity using fuzzy set theory. The proposed approach uses only few controllers of high sensitivity to achieve the desired objectives. The 297-bus and 417-bus equivalent grid connected wind systems are considered to present the simulation results. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a comparative analysis is carried out with the conventional linear programming based reactive power optimisation technique. Results demonstrated that the proposed approach is more effective in improving the system performance as compared with the conventional existing technique. © 2016 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.Item Impact of Different PQ Models of Wind Turbine Generating Units (WTGUs) on System Voltage Performance(Walter de Gruyter GmbH info@degruyter.com, 2017) Moger, T.; Dhadbanjan, T.This paper presents the voltage performance analysis of the system with various types of wind turbine generating units (WTGUs). A detailed voltage performance analysis is carried out by considering the different PQ models used for computing the reactive power output of the WTGUs (fixed/semi-variable speed and variable speed WTGUs). The different PQ models of fixed/semi-variable speed WTGUs incorporated for the studies are voltage dependent model, voltage independent model, power factor based model, and PX model. In addition, the variable speed WTGUs are also considered in different fixed power factor mode of operation. Based on these models, a comparative analysis is presented. A modified 27-bus equivalent distribution test system with dispersed wind generation is considered for the studies. Further, the case studies have been carried out by considering the various wind power output levels of WTGUs to examine its impact on system voltage performance. From the comparative analysis, the power factor based model can be the best choice over the other models (which are based on voltages) for the system studies with fixed/semi-variable speed WTGUs. © 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2017.Item Evaluation of Reactive Power Support and Loss Allocation in a Pool Based Competitive Electricity Market(Walter de Gruyter GmbH info@degruyter.com, 2017) Moger, T.; Dhadbanjan, T.This paper presents a new approach using modified Y-bus matrix to compute the reactive power support and loss allocation in a pool based competitive electricity market. The inherent characteristic of the reactive power in system operation is properly addressed in the paper. A detailed case study on a 11-bus equivalent system is carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. It is also tested on a large 259-bus equivalent system of Indian western region power grid. A comparison is also made with other existing approaches in the literature to highlight the features of the proposed approach. Simulation results show that the reactive power support and loss allocation from the proposed approach is carried out in a systematic manner which takes into consideration the power demand and the relative location of the nodes in the network. © 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
