TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss techniques for improving the system security with respect to the minimum singular value index (SVI) and present a continuation technique that redistributes the system generation to the optimal operating condition.
Abstract: The problem of system collapse or blackout characterized by a local severe voltage depression is generally believed to be associated with inadequate VAR support at key busses. The authors discuss techniques for improving the system security with respect to this index. The effect of adding capacitors are examined. They also present a continuation technique that redistributes the system generation to the optimal operating condition with respect to the minimum singular value index. >

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical expression for estimating the distribution of balancing power which accounts for dc line voltage drops is derived for a five-terminal VSC-HVDC system.
Abstract: This paper discusses the impact of dc transmission voltage drops on the distribution of dc grid balancing power when dc voltage droop control is applied. DC line voltage drops in a multiterminal VSC-HVDC (MTDC) system result in nonuniform variations of dc bus voltages when changes in dc grid power flow occur. This in turn affects the distribution of instantaneous balancing power in a MTDC that uses dc voltage droop control. The values of dc voltage droop constants determine the degree of impact that dc voltage drops will have on the sharing of balancing power in the dc grid. In this paper, an analytical expression for estimating the distribution of balancing power which accounts for dc line voltage drops is derived. A five-terminal MTDC was modelled in PSCAD for demonstrating the effects of dc line voltage drops as well as for validating the proposed analytical expression which estimates balancing power distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the transient stability and voltage regulation of a single-machine-infinite-bus power system under the effects of a symmetrical three-phase short-circuit fault is detailed.
Abstract: Improvement of the transient stability and voltage regulation of a single-machine-infinite-bus power system under the effects of a symmetrical three-phase short-circuit fault is detailed. The dynamical model of the system is described. A design strategy for nonlinear controllers is considered, and the design of a nonlinear variable-structure excitation controller is described. Simulation results obtained using the nonlinear excitation controller are given, and a new nonlinear coordinated controller is proposed. Simulation results obtained by using the nonlinear coordinated controller are presented. >

TL;DR: In this article, the application of a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) connected to a wind-turbine-driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is investigated.
Abstract: The application of a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) connected to a wind-turbine-driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is investigated. The setup allows the wind turbine system an uninterruptible fault ride-through of voltage dips. The DVR can compensate the faulty line voltage, while the DFIG wind turbine can continue its nominal operation as demanded in actual grid codes. Simulation results for a 2 MW wind turbine and measurement results on a 22 kW laboratory setup are presented, especially for asymmetrical grid faults. They show the effectiveness of the DVR in comparison to the low-voltage ride-through of the DFIG using a crowbar that does not allow continuous reactive power production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a deep understanding of the charge pumps behavior, to present useful models and key parameters and to organically and in details discuss the optimized design strategies, and an overview of the main different topologies is also included.
Abstract: Due to the continuous power supply reduction, charge pumps circuits are widely used in integrated circuits (ICs) devoted to several kind of applications such as smart power, nonvolatile memories, switched capacitor circuits, operational amplifiers, voltage regulators, SRAMs, LCD drivers, piezoelectric actuators, RF antenna switch controllers, etc. The main focus of this tutorial manuscript is to provide a deep understanding of the charge pumps behavior, to present useful models and key parameters and to organically and in details discuss the optimized design strategies. Finally, an overview of the main different topologies is also included.
