Abstract

Recent wide-area blackouts throughout the world highlight the need of smart power networks that could eliminate catastrophic outages by having the ability to react fast and efficient to risky operating conditions. Decentralized voltage control using STATCOM based on partitioning algorithm is discussed in this chapter. The partitioning algorithm technique divides power system into partitions to eventually prevent the propagation of disturbances if interaction between partitions is minimized. The optimized number of partitions is found based on the bus voltage sensitivity to disturbances being applied to loads in each partition. Then, a number of representative buses are labelled as pilot (control) buses displaying the critical point for installation of STATCOM for voltage control in each partition. The control uses decentralized controllers to eliminate voltage violations resulting from load variations and disturbances in each partition of the power system. The decentralized controllers are implemented by fuzzy control which is trained via offline simulations. Required reactive power is injected into the partitions by STATCOMs to correct voltage violations.
