Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais / The purpose of this work is to present an active and reactive power flow controller applied to inverter paralelism with the stiff AC system. An additional loop is implemented into a conventional control loop based on the characteristic curves of active power versus frequency and reactive power versus voltage. This loop uses the active power variation as feedback to generate the load angle of the voltage reference of the inverter, when it is connected in parallel with the electric network. As a consequence, the active and reactive transitory power oscillations are atenuated, without producing undesirable colateral effects as significative voltage and reactive power variations presented in the utilization of PSS (Power System Stabilizer), another technique used to improve the system damping, [Martins, M. P., 2004]. A dynamic model of the system based on the small signal analysis is presented. The root locus graphics, showing the system poles under parametric variations are also presented, allowing the analysis of the system stability. The simulation results and the experimental ones using a laboratory prototype with and without the additional loop are showed, which validate the obtained small signal model. / Este trabalho apresenta um controlador de fluxos de potência ativa e reativa aplicado ao paralelismo de um inversor com a rede elétrica. Uma malha adicional de controle é inserida a um controlador convencional, o qual é baseado nas curvas características de potência ativa versus freqüência e potência reativa versus tensão. Essa malha utiliza a realimentação da própria variação da potência ativa para a geração do ângulo de carga da tensão de referência do inversor, quando o mesmo é conectado em paralelo com a rede elétrica. Como resultado as oscilações transitórias das potências ativa e reativa são melhor atenuadas, sem produzir efeitos colaterais indesejáveis tais como as variações de tensão e potência reativa presentes na utilização do PSS (Power System Stabilizer Estabilizador de Sistemas de Potência), outra técnica usada para melhorar o amortecimento do sistema, [Martins, M. P., 2004]. Um modelo dinâmico do sistema baseado na análise para pequenos sinais é apresentado. Gráficos do lugar das raízes, mostrando os pólos do sistema diante de variações paramétricas também são apresentados, permitindo a análise de estabilidade do sistema. Resultados de simulação e resultados experimentais utilizando-se um protótipo de laboratório, com e sem a malha de realimentação adicional são mostrados, os quais validam o modelo para pequenos sinais obtido. / Doutor em Ciências

Neste trabalho é proposta uma ferramenta que permite a avaliação de quatro diferentes critérios de estabilidade: margem de amortecimento, margem oscilatória, margem de estabilidade de tensão e o ponto de máximo carregamento. A metodologia baseia-se em um fluxo de carga expandido que incorpora as características de regime permanente de dispositivos dinâmicos, fornecendo pontos de equilíbrio precisos e mais condizentes com a resposta "real" dos sistemas elétricos quando sujeitos a perturbações. As margens são calculadas através da análise modal aplicada aos pontos de equilíbrio de curvas PV. Além disso, estudos preliminares são conduzidos objetivando a expansão da análise modal estática, fornecendo fatores de participação para todas as barras do sistema, dos pontos de vista das potências ativa e reativa. Portanto, a plataforma não só permite a identificação dos pontos onde ocorreria o colapso do sistema, como fornece a indicação das medidas corretivas mais efetivas para evitar problemas de instabilidade / Doutorado / Energia Eletrica / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

Power systems have been historically designed at a time when the production was<p>centralized and the electricity had to be transmitted to the loads from the closest power<p>plant. Nowadays, there is an increasing integration of decentralized and intermittent pro-<p>duction. Moreover, the energy market coupling has enabled the transfer of electric power<p>for economical purposes. Also, former isolated power systems are now interconnected for<p>reliability and financial reasons.<p>All of these changes make difficult to predict the future behavior of the grid. Studies<p>are done in order to plan for the future needs of the system. However, building new in-<p>frastructures takes time and it is expected that these needs will not be completely fulfilled<p>in all the parts of the grid. Therefore, transmission of active power could be limited by<p>the existing infrastructure. For example, the presence of inter-area oscillations is often<p>the limiting factor when a high active power is transmitted on a long transmission line<p>between two groups of generators. Since higher levels of active power are exchanged on<p>longer distances, problems of inter-area oscillations may arise in power systems previously<p>not affected by this phenomenon.<p>In this work, a measurement-based approach, able to predict in the short-term the<p>future behavior of oscillations, is presented. This approach is complementary to the<p>long-term planning of the grid.<p>The mandatory first step towards a measurement-based approach is to have the ability<p>to extract useful information among a huge quantity of data. To face this issue, some<p>comparisons of data mining algorithms are performed.

Two types of wide area measurements are<p>used, synchronized measurements from PMUs and traditional unsynchronized data from<p>the SCADA/EMS system. Oscillation monitoring using PMUs is especially of interest<p>and an approach is presented to post-process damping estimates.

Small signal oscillation has been always a major concern in the operation of power systems. In a generator, the electromechanical coupling between the rotor and the rest of the system causes it to behave in a manner similar to a spring mass damper system, which exhibits an oscillatory behaviour around the equilibrium state, following any disturbance, such as sudden change in loads, fluctuations in the output of turbine and faults etc. The use of fast acting high gain AVRs and evolution of large interconnected power systems with transfer of bulk power across weak transmission links have further aggravated the problem of these low frequency oscillations. Small oscillations in the range of about 0.1Hz to 3.5Hz can persist for long periods, limiting the power transfer capability of the transmission lines. Power System Stabilizers (PSS’s) were developed as auxiliary controllers on the generators excitation system to produce additional damping by modulating the generator excitation voltage. Designing effective PSS for all operating conditions specially in large interconnected power systems still remains a difficult and challenging task. The conventionally designed Power System Stabilizer (CPSS) is the most cost-effective electromechanical damping controller till date. However, continual changes in the operating condition and network parameters in large systems result in corresponding large changes in system dynamics. This constantly changing nature of power system makes the design of CPSS a difficult task. The design and tuning of PSS for robust operation is a laborious process. The existing PSS design techniques require considerable expertise, the complete system information and extensive eigenvalue calculations which increases the computational burden as the system size increases. This thesis proposes a method for designing robust power system damping controllers that ensures a minimum robustness under model uncertainties. The minimum performance required for the PSS is set a priori and accomplished over a range of operating conditions. A generalized robust controller design methodology has been first implemented on a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system model. The robust controller places the closed loop rotor modes of the system to the desire location while keeping the electrical modes intact. Unlike conventional lead/lag PSS design, the proposed PSS design is based on pole assignment technique which takes into account of various model uncertainties. For the proposed stabilizer design in a multi-machine systems a new decentralized method has been used which requires system data only upto secondary bus of the unit transformer in a generating station. The proposed robust controller design based on modified Nevanlinna-Pick theory has been designed and tested extensively on SMIB and multi-machine systems to establish the efficacy of the controller in damping small signal oscillations. The thesis is organized in four chapters as follows. The first chapter discusses the basic concepts related to the rotor angle stability in power system. The conventional and other methods of countering this instability by power system stabilizers have been described. The relative merits of the various stabilization techniques have been discussed. The scope of present work, i.e design of decentralized robust power system controllers has been defined. In second chapter a modified robust power system stabilizer for SMIB system is developed. It has been shown that under specific conditions the modified Nevanlinna-Pick theory can also be applied for designing damping controllers in system with lightly damped rotor modes. Third chapter proposes a decentralized approach based on modified Nevanlinna-Pick theory for designing a power system stabilizer for interconnected power systems. The performance of the controller which is not based on external system information has been investigated on three widely used multi-machine test systems to established its efficacy in damping out low frequency oscillations. The fourth chapter gives a brief summary of the work done and also includes a section on the scope of future work relating to design of power system stabilizers.

This Thesis addressed the challenge of ensuring balanced currents in the phases of a multi-kW, interleaved dc-dc converter by means of closed-loop digital control. The Thesis examines uniformly-sampled, valley-current, peak-current and average-current control for a dual interleaved boost converter with inter-phase transformer which might form part of the power train of an electric vehicle. Also, an enhancement of the average-current control is investigated in which the transistor duty-ratio is updated more rapidly, which allows an improvement of approximately ten times in the response speed of the system. Based on the theoretical analysis, the average-current control methodology was determined to be the most suitable technique for this type of converter as it ensures well-balanced phase currents over a wide range. To provide a basis for control system analysis and design for interleaved converters, a modelling methodology is developed based on a combination of multi-rate data-sampled theory and a small-signal averaged converter model. The model is shown to represent accurately the interaction between the interleaved phases, revealing a reduced stability range compared with a non-interleaved converter. The modelling and control methods are validated using switched and average value simulations obtained with the SABER software and by experimental results from a 25 kW, 30 kHz converter prototype. The control techniques were implemented on a Texas Instruments TMS320F28335 digital signal controller.
