Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS)technology has been developed to control voltage and reactive power in power systems by incorporating high speed power electronic devices.The FACTS device presentedin this research work is Thyristor Controlled Voltage Regulator (TCVR) which is a novel FACTS devicethat aims to control system voltage and hence improvesvoltage regulation. This paper studies the effect of voltages injected by TCVR, whether positive or negative, on short-circuit calculations. The type of fault considered is a ground faultthat occurs at the end of a high voltage line compensated at its mid point by TCVR while maintaining a fixed fault resistance.A case study is selected for a high voltage power line in the Algerian transmission network.In this research work, the illustrated simulation results show perfect agreement with the presented theoretical analysiswhich is based on the method of symmetrical components.

This paper describes a power flow method for distribution systems, applying the method of symmetrical component to back/forward sweep method. The proposed algorithm is effective for unbalanced radial distribution system, with process of distributed resource(PQ & PV node), AVR(Auto Voltage Regulator), shunt capacitor. This proposed method compared conventional back/forward sweep method with the using three phase unbalanced distribution systems with 34 nodes.

This paper proposes a novel approach to determine symmetrical components of power system by applying method of least squares in time domain. For the modern power system stability, clearance of faults on high voltage transmission lines in zero response time is crucial and important. Symmetrical components have a great attention since last century. They have been found an effective tool for the analysis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults in power system. Moreover, magnitude of symmetrical components are also used as a caution about faults in system. With rapid changes in technology, Microprocessor assumed to be fastest machine of the modern era. Hence microprocessor based techniques were developed and implemented for last few decades. The proposed technique apply least square method in the computation of symmetrical components which is suitable as an application in microprocessor based monitoring and controlling power system in order to avoid cascading failures. Simulation of proposed model is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK and all results exploit the validity of model.

This paper presents a fault phase selection algorithm for transmission line protection by means of the symmetrical components. Accurate fault phase selection is necessary for collect functioning of transmission line relaying, particularly in Extra High Voltage (EHV) networks. The conventional phase selection algorithm used the phase difference between positive and negative sequence current excluding load current. But, it is difficult to abstract only fault current since we can not know the time which a fault occurs. The proposed algorithm can select the accurately fault phase using fault current contained pre-fault current.

비대칭 부하 전류를 평형 상태로 만들기 위한 보상장치는 3상변수를 대칭좌표로 분리해야한다. 통상 전대역필터를 이용한 정상분, 역상분 분리 방식이 사용되는데 제어기 최하위단에서 동작하는 전대역필터의 대역폭이 전체 제어시스템의 대역폭을 제한한다. 따라서 보상장치의 제어성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 정역분리에 사용하는 필터의 대역폭을 넓혀야 한다. 본 논문에서는 대역폭이 조절가능한 고속화된 대칭좌표 분리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 MATLAB/SIMULINK를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 진행하였으며, TMS320F28335를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였다.
