Enhancement of Power Systems Transient Stability with TCSC: A Case study of The Nigerian 330 kV, 48-Bus Network
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
A steady, safe, controllable, and high-quality power supply is necessary given the complexity of power systems, especially in the deregulated power sector seen in Nigeria. One of the main drawbacks of network expansion is the loss of the system's overall damping torque, which mitigates the system resulting to fluctuations and transient instability. Power system stability control difficulties have been addressed using flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers. This study examines the responses of the generator rotor angle, speed, Q-axis and D-axis voltage components behind transient reactance as well as the voltage magnitude profile under the influence of a three-phase fault for the purpose of enhancing transient stability. The Nigerian 48-bus power system network was modeled using commercial PSAT software in a MATLAB environment with a fault induced on Bus 33 (Geregu SubStation) and TCSC optimally positioned on line 21-28 using continuation power flow (CPF). According to simulation results with and without TCSC, a significant amount of oscillation in the power system was dampened, and the voltage profile was improved for power system transient stability.
