Power system stability investigation through smart control of micro grid and GUPFC

Abstract

System stability is the utmost requirement for a power system. In order to provide quality power to consumers while maintaining power system stability, Microgrid and FACTS devices are introduced. A smart control strategy is essential for a Microgrid system that automatically controls the MG's operation from non-autonomous to autonomous and vice versa. This research work proposes a similar smart connection between the Grid and the Micro Grid along with GUPFC for system stability and voltage quality after analysing On-Grid and Off-Grid performance of the power system having microgrid under various operating conditions. The MATLAB simulation results for such combination are presented.
