A comprehensive approach for preventive and corrective control to mitigate voltage collapse ABSTRACT This paper deals with

determination of preventive and corrective control strategies to contain voltage collapse in stressed power systems. For cases with insufficient voltage stability margin, the margin sensitivity is first computed to identify the most effective preventive controls, then a linear optimization with the objective of minimizing the control cost is performed to coordinate the control actions. For cases when no steadystate equilibrium point exists, mostly resulting from severe contingencies, a parameterized control strategy is first utilized to restore the system solvability. Then, the continuation method is applied to compute the corresponding minimum corrective control actions. The control measures consist of rescheduling real power generations, implementing generator secondary voltage controls, switching on shunt capacitors and shedding loads. Case studies with the New-England 39-bus system are presented to illustrate the approach An Adaptive Variable Window Algorithm for Transformer Differential Protection Relay

ABSTRACT The large-scale transformer protection is one of the most important devices in the protection system of substation and the requiring operating time is limited to 20ms or even less, i. e. A short data window orthogonal filter design method was presented through solving linear matrix equation after analyzing the physical concepts of sampling value phasor in fault signal. It could filter integer or fractional harmonic and guarantee cosine and sine filter possess the same amplitude versus frequency response characteristics. Then the design principle was put forward after analyzing the relationship between frequency property and data window transient responding performance. As an example, the design method was used as the adaptive digital filters for the transformer differential digital transformer differential protection device. The simulation of the algorithm was put forward in the MATLAB software platform. The dynamic test result of the algorithm shows the design method has the good ability for the transformer differential protection especial in transient performance. If it has appropriate settings, it won't be mal-operation on the condition of TA saturation or energizing inrush. The digital transformer differential protection will be improved greatly if this digital filter is used.
