Power Systems Fault Detection

The main aim of this paper is to identify optimal control laws and locations of series connected FACTS controllers (like TCSC and SSSC) in a unified framework to damp power swings. A circuit analogy of the electro-mechanical system is used to suggest the control laws and a location index is also proposed. The signals which are used can be synthesized using locally available measurements. The method is validated on a detailed model of a 3-machine and a 10-machine system.
