    Analytical design of static VAR compensator-based subsynchronous damping controller
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Kotian, S.M.; Shubhanga, K.N.
    In this paper, using a dynamic phasor model of static VAR compensator (SVC) a method to determine the phase response of a system analytically is presented. Then using the phase compensation method a subsynchronous damping controller (SSDC) for SVC is designed to mitigate subsynchronous resonance (SSR) in series capacitor compensated power systems. The designed SSDC is validated using detailed time-domain simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC. The case studies are carried out on the IEEE first benchmark system. © 2018 IEEE.

    Stability Analysis of a Grid-Connected DFIG Operating in Sub-synchronous and Super-synchronous Conditions
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Lazar, A.; Kotian, S.M.
    This paper examines the impact of power grid strength, power level, rotor side converter (RSC) controller parameters, and shaft parameters on the small-signal stability of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-integrated power system. In each of the parametric variations, both sub-and super-synchronous operating conditions of DFIG are considered. Using the eigenvalue technique the effects of parameter are analyzed and these eigen-inferences are further validated using time-domain simulations. From the analysis it is observed that the in sub-synchronous operating point, weak-grid conditions and RSC controller parameters may result in small-signal instability. © 2022 IEEE.

    A Novel Method for Calculating Steady-State Operating Conditions for DFIG-Based Wind Turbines
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Lazar, A.; Navaneeth, K.; Kotian, S.M.
    This paper utilizes a modified Newton-Raphson (MNR) iterative technique for steady-state initialization of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine (WT) connected to the grid. The MNR technique discussed in this paper is based on the Adomian decomposition method. The steady-state values obtained using the MNR method are compared with those obtained using the conventional Newton-Raphson (NR) method to check the accuracy of the MNR method. Further, the number of iterations taken for both methods to converge was compared. From the case studies, it is noted that the MNR method results in steady-state values, which are identical to those obtained using the NR method with lesser number of iterations. The steady-state values calculated using the MNR method are utilized to carry out the eigenvalue analysis and time-domain simulations of a DFIG-based WT power system. © 2024 IEEE.

    Performance of synchronous machine models in a series-capacitor compensated system
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Kotian, S.M.; Shubhanga, K.N.
    This paper compares the IEEE-specified generator models such as the equivalent circuit (EC) models and the operational inductance (OI) models to understand their damping performances in the IEEE first-benchmark system for subsynchronous resonance study. These models are found to differ from one another only to an extent they accurately represent the standard transfer functions. By carrying out different case studies an effort is made to analyze the influence of these differences among the models on the damping performance of swing-mode and torsional modes. Through a detailed eigenvalue analysis and time-domain simulations, it is demonstrated that these models offer differing results with respect to swing-mode, thereby strongly influencing the power system stabilizer (PSS) performances, especially when the system is series compensated. Even the torsional mode interactions are found to exhibit dependency on the models employed for the generators. Such a study is expected to provide better insight into the behavior of generator models and controller design/tuning in system analysis. © 1969-2012 IEEE.
