    Abstract: A closed cycle ocean thermal energy conversion basically involves a working fluid which has a boiling point just low below ambient temperature. This fluid is then evaporated using warm sea water and then used to run turbines. This evaporated gas is then condensed using cold seawater. In this paper a study is being made to install a super heater bet... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, use of the additional supplementary damping controller for unified power flow controller (UPFC) to damp out low frequency oscillations in a heavily loaded power system is investigated. Normal damping controllers are inferior when the power system is subjected to large and fast changing loads. In order to handle the situation, an addi... Show More

    Abstract: Physical processes the damping of the synchronous machine electromechanical oscillations without excitation control, with proportional automatic voltage regulator (AVR-P), and magnitude-phase excitation controller (MPH-EC), which is responsive to the deviations of the magnitude and phase of the terminal voltage phasor are considered. The advantages... Show More

    Abstract: An online auxiliary control was designed for Static Var Compensator (SVC) to improve the poorly damped oscillations in multi-machine power system subjected to small and large disturbances. This paper presents auxiliary control based on Adaptive NeuroFuzzy (ANF) control using triangular membership function. Such a model free based control does not r... Show More
