    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.

    Probabilistic Load Flow for Wind Integrated Power System Considering Node Power Uncertainties and Random Branch Outages
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Singh, V.; Moger, T.; Jena, D.
    This paper proposes an analytical probabilistic load flow (PLF) approach that considers conventional generator outages, load variability, and random branch outages. The branch outages are modeled as 0-1 distributions of fictitious power injections at the appropriate nodes. The distribution of state variables and line power flows is then obtained using a combined Cumulant and Gram-Charlier series expansion approach. The proposed PLF performs contingency sequencing with fuzzy logic to eliminate random line checking and avoid masking mistakes faced by performance index-based algorithms. The Jacobian inverse calculation in the traditional Cumulant method is eliminated to conserve storage space and speed up the computation using the Gauss-Jordan method. The correlations among loads and wind power generations has been modeled using the Nataf transformation process. Results of 24-bus and 259-bus equivalent systems of the Indian southern and western power grids are analyzed and validated with those obtained using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The suggested method's efficacy is justified by its accuracy and low computational burden. © 2010-2012 IEEE.
