Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project aims to develop analytical models for thyristor controlled reactor and thyristor controlled series capacitor, which belong to the group of novel devices called Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). This applied research uses latest theories from control systems, non-linear systems, power electronics, identification and other to develop analytical representation for the systems studies and design, primarily in the frequency range f>5Hz. The primary modelling objectives are the convenient model form for the application of modern control system design tools and the model accuracy. To achieve these goals the central research focus is on properly representing the non-linear system segments and on representing the model in a convenient form. These models will advance the present level of the knowledge in the FACTS modelling area. Since convenient and accurate analytical FACTS models are not available, and most present studies at the above frequencies rely only on time domain simulations, the developments of adequate models will improve current system stability studies, network strategic planning and also design of particular elements. The engaged personnel works at the edge of present FACTS technologies, with latest simulation software, thus providing the scientific personnel and knowledge base for future developments in this field in the UK.
