TL;DR: The proposed technique uses the data-mining technology to extract information from the large data sets of these indices after they are screened off-line via massive event analyses using network simulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) on the impedance-based protection relays in a power system containing a flexible alternating current transmission (FACTS) controller is investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out that the ability to double the power transfer of the uncompensated line applies also to the flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), such as the STATCOM, the unified power flow controller (UPFC), the PWM asynchronous DC link, the thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC), and the pWM series static VAr compensator have stabilized AC voltage support.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that when load centers require Static VAR Systems (SVS) for regulated voltage control, the strategy of using many, small, distributed SVS located at distribution buses is more advantageous than a few large bulk SVSs located at the transmission or sub-transmission bus.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for a predetermined location within an electrical power system having therein distributed resources (DR), the model based on known system conditions, the model indicative of first sensed characteristics of the electrical power systems at the predetermined location, sensing at at least some of the first sensed characteristic, determining a status of an islanding event in dependence upon sensing and other than in dependence on other sensed data sensed remotely from the predetermined position.
