    Large Power System Stability Analysis Using a FOSS-based tool: SciLab/Xcos
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Singh, V.; Navada, H.G.; Shubhanga, K.N.
    This paper describes the usage of an open-source tool namely Scilab-package for development of a multi-machine small-signal stability programme. It is shown that the package has enough computational capabilities to carry out large power system analysis. Analytical and time-domain simulation results obtained for a well-known 4-machine, 10-bus, 10-machine, 39-bus and 50-machine, l45-bus power systems demonstrate that Scilab/Xcos can be an alternate open-source tool to conventional proprietary software. © 2018 IEEE.

    Distributed load flow analysis using graph theory
    (2011) Sharma, D.P.; Chaturvedi, A.; Purohit, G.; Shivarudraswamy, R.
    In today scenario, to meet enhanced demand imposed by domestic, commercial and industrial consumers, various operational & control activities of Radial Distribution Network (RDN) requires a focused attention. Irrespective of sub-domains research aspects of RDN like network reconfiguration, reactive power compensation and economic load scheduling etc, network performance parameters are usually estimated by an iterative process and is commonly known as load (power) flow algorithm. In this paper, a simple mechanism is presented to implement the load flow analysis (LFA) algorithm. The reported algorithm utilizes graph theory principles and is tested on a 69- bus RDN.

    Faster load flow algorithm for radial distribution network using graph theory
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd vgorayska@wiley.com Southern Gate Chichester, West Sussex PO19 8SQ, 2019) Sharma, D.P.; Chaturvedi, A.; Saxena, R.; Raguru, J.
    Since last 3 decades, load flow solutions have enjoyed success on different fronts. Primarily, the importance and utility of these algorithms is assessed using performance measures, which usually include issue like implementation complicacy, optimized execution time, and memory storage. In this work, a graph-theoretical approach is used to facilitate load flow solutions for a static network topology. Algorithm is tested for 2 different radial distribution topologies, and its deployment for both of these network finally results in phenomenal saving on 2 important algorithm performance measures, ie, time and space complexity. Obtained phenomenal saving for both of these 2 parameters is compared with earlier reported work on statistical basis. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Control of Converter for a Solar PV-BESS Powered Telecom Load With Real, Reactive and Harmonic Power Exchange With Grid
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Sheeja, V.; Kalpana, R.; Subramaniam, U.; Almakhles, D.J.
    Due to safety considerations and the challenges involved in tracking the maximum output of series-connected cells, solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays are generally operated at lower voltage levels. A multiport converter can be used to interface telecom DC loads, typically rated at 48 V and powered by PV arrays and battery energy storage system (BESS). The grid integration of the system improves reliability while lowering the BESS rating. This work proposes a sliding mode control-based power flow management controller that maintains the load voltage of a telecom DC load, allows maximum power extraction from the PV module, and facilitates power sharing with AC grid. A voltage source converter and a high-gain bidirectional converter exchange power with the AC grid. A second-order generalized integral algorithm-based voltage source converter control is provided to inject/absorb active power, reactive power, and eliminate the harmonics of the telecom AC load. Detailed simulation studies employing MATLAB software are performed to validate the functionality of the converter as well as the power flow management control. Moreover, the system's performance is evaluated using a laboratory-developed experimental prototype. © 2013 IEEE.
