Distributed energy storage systems (ESSs) are becoming essential components for the
operation of the increasingly complex electricity grid, where dispersed generation is causing …

The scientific principle of “mechanical springs” was described by the British physicist Robert
Hooke in the 1660's. Since then, there has not been any further development of the Hooke's …

Global demand for power has significantly increased, but power generation and
transmission capacities have not increased proportionally with this demand. As a result …

Due to an increasing of demands of electricity in a world on regular basis, different
continents will initiate a step towards transforming their smart grids infrastructure into super …

The electric spring is an emerging technology proven to be effective in i) stabilizing smart
grid with substantial penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources and ii) enabling …

The use of the supplementary controllers of a unified power flow controller (UPFC) to damp
low frequency oscillations in a weakly connected system is investigated. The potential of the …

Distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is a shunt compensation device that is
generally used to solve power quality problems in distribution systems. In an all-electric ship …

In this paper, a modulation and control method for the new transformerless unified power
flow controller (UPFC) is presented. As is well known, the conventional UPFC that consists …

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is proposed to overcome the problems of the
existing unified power flow controllers (UPFCs) and to provide the dynamic power flow …

This paper proposes a new control approach for a unified power flow controller (UPFC) for
power system oscillation dam**. This control is simple to implement, yet is valid over a …
