2. 1. On Power-system Benefits, Main-circuit Design, and Control of StatComs with Energy Storage

   Author : Hailian Xie; Hans-Peter Nee; Lennart Ängquist; Timothy Green; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy storage; Voltage source converter; VSC; Static synchronous compensation; StatCom; Active power compensation; Phase jump; Voltage dip; Weak network; Flux modulation; Deadbeat current control; Transformer saturation; Dual thyristor converter; dc interface; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

   Abstract : Static synchronous compensation (StatCom) is an application that utilizes a voltage source converter (VSC) to provide instantaneous reactive power support to the connected power system. Conventionally, StatComs are employed for reactive power support only. READ MORE

4. 2. Power System Stability Enhancement Using Shunt-connected Power Electronic Devices with Active Power Injection Capability

   Author : Mebtu Bihonegn Beza; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Power Oscillation Damping POD ; energy storage; Adaptive estimation; Static Synchronous Compensator STATCOM ; Recursive Least Square RLS ; Transient Stability Enhancement TSE ; FACTS; Static Var Compensator SVC ;

   Abstract : Power electronic devices such as Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), both in shunt and series configuration, are widely used in the power system for power flow control, to increase the loading capability of an existing line and to increase the security of the system by enhancing its transient stability. Among the shunt-connected FACTS controllers family, the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and the Static Var Compensator (SVC) are two key devices for reinforcing the stability of the AC power system.

5. 3. A Multichoice Control Strategy for a VSC-HVdc

   Author : Hector F. Latorre; Mehrdad Ghandhari; Lennart Söder; Kjetil Uhlen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Control Lyapunov Function; Modal Analysis; Power Oscillation Damping; Transient Stability; Voltage Stability; VSC-HVdc; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

   Abstract : Utilization of power electronics based controllable systems (or devices) in transmission systems has opened new opportunities for the power industry to optimize utilization of the existing transmission systems, and at the same time to keep high system reliability and security. As a member of these controllable systems, Voltage Source Converters-based High Voltage direct current (VSC-HVdc) systems have the ability to rapidly control the transmitted active power, and also to independently exchange reactive power with transmissions systems.

6. 4. Modeling and Control of VSC-HVDC Transmissions

   Author : Hector Latorre; Mehrdad Ghandhari; Luis Rouco; KTH; []
   Keywords : Control Lyapunov Functions; Energy Function; Modal Analysis; Transient Stability; Voltage Stability; VSC-HVDC Transmission.; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Presently power systems are being operated under high stress level conditions unforeseen at the moment they were designed. These operating conditions have negatively impacted reliability, controllability and security margins. FACTS devices and HVDC transmissions have emerged as solutions to help power systems to increase the stability margins. READ MORE

7. 5. Analysis, Control, and Design Optimization of Engineering Mechanics Systems

   Author : Esubalewe Lakie Yedeg; Martin Berggren; Eddie Wadbro; Anton Evgrafov; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Topology optimization; Helmholtz equation; acoustic impedance; anisotropic filter; thin structures; finite element method; Nitsche-type method; interface problem; Optimal control; adjoint method; business data processing; administrativ databehandling;

   Abstract : This thesis considers applications of gradient-based optimization algorithms to the design and control of some mechanics systems. The material distribution approach to topology optimization is applied to design two different acoustic devices, a reactive muffler and an acoustic horn, and optimization is used to control a ball pitching robot.
