A New Evolutionary Approach to Power Fluctuations and Voltage Permanence Using SMES

The paper focuses on the power system oscillations, which has been recognized as one of the major concern in power system operation. Low frequency electromechanical oscillations are inevitable characteristics of power systems and they greatly affect the transmission line transfer capability and power system stability. Traditionally, power system stabilizers are being used to damp these oscillations. Unified power flow controller is a well-known FACTS device that can control power flow in transmission lines. Facts controller mainly used for solving various power system stability control problems. The energy storage devices are much helpful in supplying the instantaneous real power requirement of the system. Amongst the energy storage systems, the Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system is recent and more research works are carried out to commercialise the same. The analysis is achieved through developing of software program using MATLAB.
