Summary: This paper introduces a new algorithm for optimal placement of UPFC based on the Grey Wolf Optimization (GW-PUE) algorithm. By considering different objective functions, the algorithm minimizes power loss, voltage profile deviation, and UPFC cost. Experimental results show that the GW-PUE method outperforms existing methods in terms of computation time on different bus systems.

Summary: In this paper, a novel online purely data-driven wide-area damping control (WADC) method using phasor measurement unit (PMU) data is proposed. It can damp multiple inter-area modes simultaneously and adjust the closed-loop characteristics under the constraints of the communication network. This method does not require offline training, is adaptive to the applied PMU dataset, and can be mapped to the actual grid physics.

Summary: This paper proposes an intelligent type II fuzzy PID controller optimized using a water cycle algorithm for regulating frequency and power flow variations in an interconnected power system during load disturbances. The controller's dynamic behavior is analyzed on a multi-area system, considering practical constraints and further system enhancements through additional energy storage and power flow control installations. Testing on a dual-area hydro-thermal power system model shows the superiority of the proposed controller compared to other recent approaches, with sensitivity analysis conducted to discuss robustness of secondary and territorial regulation schemes.

Summary: This study investigates the delay-dependent stability of a multi-area Load Frequency Control (LFC) system with Electric Vehicle (EV) aggregators using the Advanced Clustering with Frequency Sweeping (ACFS) method. Both Integer-Order (IO) and Fractional-Order Proportional Integral (FOPI) controllers are utilized. Time delays induced by the communication infrastructure in LFC systems can lead to deteriorations in system stability. The ACFS method is employed to study the impacts of time delays and improve controller performance objectives. The results show that the participation of EV aggregators in traditional LFC systems improves frequency regulation and tie-line power-sharing.

Summary: This paper presents the utilization of a static var compensator in coordination with an intelligent online controller to improve the oscillation damping of the power system under various operating conditions and communication delays. A linear identifier is used for system identification, ensuring low computational burden and real-time implementation. The location of the controller is selected based on controllability and bus voltage participation factors, and an empirical expression is proposed to offset the effects of communication time delays. Time-domain simulations on single- and multi-machine power systems validate the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent controller, compared to conventional and wide-area damping controllers.

Summary: This paper presents an online scheme of an intelligent wide area damping controller based on decision tree technique using wide area measuring system. The proposed scheme utilizes a central damping controller that uses the speed and angle deviations of the oscillating areas as global signals, and estimates the controlling gains for direct presentation to exciter systems through the online gain estimator, which acts as a decision tree. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated in a modified IEEE 39-bus test system, showing positive effects in damping inter-area oscillations.
