1 Introduction

Motivation When the social political and technologicalaspects develop the demand of electric power grows rapidlyresulting in the increase in the scale and complexity ofpower systems Some characteristics such as long transmis-sion distances over weak grids highly variable generationpatterns and heavy load tend to increase the wide-area elec-tromechanical oscillations These oscillations threaten thesecure operation of the power systems and if not controlledefficiently can lead to generator outages line tripping andeven large-scale blackouts

the measured and simulated power swings of this event Themeasured data show that the standard planningmodels couldbe unreliable predictors of oscillatory behavior

In recent years the economic tempo in the Vietnamhas been developed rapidly the total load has increasedcontinuously Accordingly the Vietnamese power system hasbeen faced with the serious power system blackouts such ason Dec 27 2006 July 20 2007 Apr 09 2007 and the latestevent on May 22 2013 All of the technical problems that theVietnamese power system identified after these events hadalready been reported [7 8]

The power system oscillations occur in the power systemsbecause of the contingencies such as the grid faults andsudden load changes the dampening of these oscillationsis necessary for a secure system operation If the controlledsystems react quickly against faults the power system stabilitywill enhance significantly The advanced power electronicshas led to a new design called flexible alternating-currenttransmission systems (FACTS) by Electrical Power ResearchInstitute (EPRI) The FACTS devices make more use of theexiting capacities in the power system and enhance thepower system stability For example the parameters in thepower system are controlled and the load flow is modifiedto preclude the overload of transmission lines after the gridfaults The FACTS devices are widely used to improve theefficiency of power system operation However the benefitsderived from FACTS controllers such as the small-signalstability and transient stability that depend greatly on theiroptimal placement in the power systems [9 10] Thereforelooking for the optimal placement of FACTS devices inthe large-scale power systems is an interesting researchtopic

State of the Science The damping of electromechanical oscil-lations in the power systems is a matter to belong with powerengineers and become one of the most interesting researchtopics [11 12] The PSSs are a profound influence solutionon improving the power system stability This solution isbased on the excitation system and the generator speeddeviation signals in which the speed deviation is used asthe supplementary control signals in order to provide to the

automatic voltage regulators The fast progress in the fieldof power electronics had contributed to the developmentof the electrical power industry based on the controllableutilization of FACTS [13] This device can dampen both thelocal- and interarea oscillations [10] whereas PSSs could onlydampen the local-area oscillations [14] Thus FACTS is thebest choice to enhance the stability margin of the existingpower systems [9 15] and especially to TCSC This deviceis considered as one of the most effective FACTS and iswidely used to regulate the power flow in transmission linesdampen the power oscillations mitigate subsynchronousresonance (SSR) enhance power system stability and so forthby changing the reactance of transmission line [16] There ishard sledding for the researchers regarding how to determineoptimal location of FACTS

The methods for solving location problems can be clas-sified into two categories (i) analytical techniques and (ii)heuristic optimization approaches [17ndash19] Among heuristicsParticle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has some advantages asless control parameters no require preconditions (continuityor differentiability of objective functions) and slow com-putational burden which make it popular to solve optimallocation and design problems of FACTS [20ndash24] HoweverPSO had drawback as slow convergence in search stage andlimit of local search ability furthermore the algorithm willnot work out the problems of scattering and optimization[15] Genetic algorithm (GA) has been proposed to solveoptimal location and design problems of FACTS [9 15 19 25]This method has been applied to obtain promising resultsHowever downside of GA is that the requested run timeis very long when studying the large-scale systems [26] In[24] optimal location of TCSC is determined via PSO whoseobjective is to maximize small-signal stability In [9 23] amathematical objective function is used to derive objectivefunction for GA and PSO by considering the load-ability inthe system security margins respectively In [27] the authorsused a method based on hybrid between PSO and GA foroptimal allocation of TCSC to enhance voltage stability andreduce power system losses The brainstorm optimizationalgorithm (BSOA) is new heuristic optimization algorithmproposed by the authors in [28] to seek the optimal location of

Complexity 3

TCSC for enhancing the voltage profile The obtained resultsare better than PSO and GA

For the analytical approaches the modal controllabilityindex has been developed by the authors in [29] to findsuitable location of TCSC for dampening interarea modelof oscillations However the authors consider the simulationwith or without FACTS placed in the power system to calcu-late the maximum controllability index values correspondingto critical mode Particularly their main interest is in theinput signals that do not know what is occurring at outputof FACTS through observability index values In [30] Vaidyaand Rajderkar used the sensitivity-based method and theauthors in [31] applied real power flow performance indexsensitivity to determine the optimal location of TCSC toenhance the power system stability In [32] the eigenvaluesensitivity method is utilized to find optimal location ofcontrollable series capacitors for dampening power systemlocation The eigenvalue sensitivity values are calculatedbased on the modal controllability and observability indicesof series reactance modulation In [33] the suitable locationof series compensators is determined based on trajectorysensitivity analysis The objective is to maximize the benefitof series compensators in order to improve the generatorrotor angle stability The energy method based on Gramianmatrices is another technique developed by the authors in[34 35] to determine the optimal setting of TCSC and staticVAR compensator (SVC) obtained with promising resultHowever the difficult of this method is when calculating thetoo large-scale power systems

It is observed that most of existing methods in theprevious literatures have been proposed recently for thelocation of FACTS These methods have several drawbacksfirstly the computation of critical modesmay be questionablein case of large-scale power system since they may not beunique Moreover the computation of them also depends onthe local or interarea modes Secondly the computation ofparticipation factors is only based on the state variables andneglects the input-output behavior Thirdly it just focuses onanalyzing the small-scale power systems Therefore in orderto overcome these drawbacks this paper is a continuation of[34] and combines the Hankel-norm approximation methodto determine the best location for installing TCSCwith objec-tive for damping power system oscillation of the practicalpower system to wit Vietnamese power system It indicatesthat using the Gramian matrix-based method to calculatethe complexity and large-scale power systems takes a lot oftime since the system state matrix is very large Thereforethe Hankel-norm approximation method [36] is proposedto solve such problem The selection of the input signal forTCSC controller is an important consideration for seekingthe optimal location to dampen the interarea oscillationsin which the line reactive and active power line currentand bus voltage are all good selections In this study theactive power in transmission line is considered as an effectiveinput signal for TCSC controller The contingency cases areconsidered based on the active power perturbation signalsin the transmission lines that were selected on the basis ofthe real power line flow performance index (PI) introducedin [37] In addition in order to determine the parameters

of the TCSC controller the optimal method in [38] is alsoconsidered in this paper

Contribution In this paper a relevant method for determin-ing the optimal placement of TCSC controller is proposedto enhance the stability of large-scale power systems Thisproposed method is developed from the energy approachbased on the controllability Gramian matrix of the linearizedsystem The multimachine power system with TCSC con-troller is expressed in the form of a differential algebraicequation (DAE) model The controllability Gramian matrixis obtained from the unique positive definite solutions ofthe Lyapunov equation and it depends on the control input-output and state matrixes of system The optimal locationis selected based on the maximum total Gramian energycalculated from the contingency outage cases (disturbancein lines) on the small-signal stability analysis that meansthe control input must insure the smallest control energyIn line with this purpose the Hankel-norm approximationmethod is applied to reduce the number of state variableswhen dealing with large-scale power systems

Themain new contributions of this paper are summarizedas follows

(i) To develop a relevant method to determine the opti-mal location of FACTS on the small-signal stabilityanalysis

(ii) To propose an association between proposed methodand the Hankel-norm approximationmethod to limitthe time calculation so that the proposedmethod canbe easily implemented for complexity and large-scalepower systems

The remainder of this paper is organized as followsSection 2 addresses the principle of characteristics of theVietnamese power system and the differential algebraic equa-tion (DAE) model of the power system with and withoutTCSC controller The proposed method for optimal locationof TCSC controller based on the Gramian matrices andthe Hankel-norm approximation method are introduced inSection 3 The case studies and conclusions are given inSections 4 and 5 respectively Finally the algorithm for thetransformation matrix can be found in the Appendix

231 TCSC Controller The main role of TCSC is to controlfast the active power flow increase the power transfer ontransmission line and enhance the stability of the powersystem The basic structure TCSC consists of a fixed seriescapacitor bank C in parallel with a thyristor-controlledreactor (TCR) as shown in Figure 3(a) It can controlthe continuous power flow on the alternating-current (AC)line with a variable series capacitive reactance This seriesreactance is adjusted through variation of firing angle 120572the effective reactance 119883tcsc depends on three regions (i)inductive region which starts increasing from 119883119871119883119862 valueto infinity (119883119871(120572) = 119883119862) (ii) capacitive region which startsincreasing from infinity to capacitive reactance 119883119862 and (iii)resonance region which occurs between these two regionsIn order to avoid the resonance region the steady state limitsof the firing angle are chosen to be 90∘ le 120572 le 180∘ withthe resonant point 120572119903 = 1284∘ In this paper for investigatingpower system stability after a fault TCSC should operate incapacitive region and the limit of the steady state to the firingangle is chosen to be 120572119903 le 120572 le 180∘ as shown in Figure 3(c)

The variable 119883tcsc can be obtained by using some of thecontrol strategies and the feedback signal of the TCSC con-troller This feedback signal can be the signal of active powerreactive power current of transmission line or transmissionangle [41] In this paper the main objective is to dampen thepower oscillations The active power signal in transmissionline is chosen [42] and the control strategy for TCSC is shownin Figure 4 [34]

The new equivalent impedance of the line when placedTCSC as shown in Figure 3(b) can be obtained as [43]

119883new line = 119883line + 119883tcsc (8)

in which the relationship between the firing angle 120572 and theimpedance of the TCSC at fundamental frequency can bederived as follows [44]

3 The Proposed Approach

31 Gramian-Based Controllability and Observability Thesystem often has two properties controllability and observ-ability which play an important role regarding the determi-nation of the optimal location of TCSC in the power systemFrom that the input and output variables need to be used inorder to observe and control the system Therefore (16) canbe redescribed in a state-space form as follows

(119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119909 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (17)

where

119909(119905) is the state vector119910(119905) is the output vector119906(119905) is the input vector119860 is the state matrix119861 is the control matrix119862 is the output matrix119863 is the feed-forward matrix

311 Controllability

Definition 1 System (17) is controllable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states (1199090 1199091 isin R) there exists the input 119906(119905)[1199050 1199051] rarrR that drives the system from 1199090(1199050) to 1199091(1199051) thisis true the system is completely controllable despite the initialtime and state

Every actuator in the power systems is the energy thatcan be limited such that controllability matrix has been usedfor the purpose of dealing with the amount of input energyThis input energy is required to reach a given state fromthe origin The property of controllability of the system canbe described in a quantitative manner by the controllabilityfunction Typically it is defined for dynamic system as theminimum input energy that necessary drives the system fromstate 119909(minus119879) = 0 to state 119909(0) = 1199090 and can be given as [46]

119871119888 (1199090) = minimize119906isin1198712(minus1198790)

int0minus119879119906 (119905)2 119889119905

subject to (119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119909 (minus119879) = 0119909 (0) = 1199090

(18)

It can be proven that the above system (17) has thetransient controllability function which is given as follows

119871119888 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119888 (119879) 1199090 (19)

Remark 2 For the real dynamic system 119871119888(1199090) is largeand the state 1199090 is difficult to reach Thus the system isuncontrollable

Remark 3 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable in the time range (1199050 1199051) if and only if thecontrollability matrix Δ defined as (20) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the controllabilitymatrixhas dimension 119899times119899119898 where119898 is the dimension of the inputvector 119906

312 Observability The system states are the internal vari-ables which are hard to directly measure but the outputscan be measured easily at the same time The observabilityproperty plays an important role in the analysis of optimallocation

Definition 5 System (17) is observable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states 1199090 1199091 isin R there exists the output 119910(119905)1199050 le 119905 le 1199051 lt infin assuming that the input 119906(119905) is known thisis true the system is observable despite the initial time andstate

The observability property of the system can be character-ized in a quantitative manner by the observability function Itis defined for dynamic system as output energy generated bythe state 119909(0) = 1199090 (when 119906 = 0) and is given as [46]

It can be proven that system (17) has the transientobservability function which is given as follows

119871119900 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119900 1199090 (23)

Remark 6 For the real dynamic system 119871119900(1199090)measures theeffect of the initial condition on the output if 119871119900(1199090) is smallthe effect of1199090 in the output is confined such that it is difficultto reach state 1199090 Thus the system is unobservable

Remark 7 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17)are observable in the interval [1199050 1199051] if and only if theobservability matrix nabla defined as (24) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the observability matrixhas dimension 119899119901times119899 where 119901 is the dimension of the outputvector 119910

Remark 8 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17) areobservable if and only if the observability Gramian matrix119866119900(119879) on horizon T defined as (25) has full rank 1198991015840 and ispositive definite

Formal remarks for controllability and observability arewhite and black In reality some states are very calamitousto control or have little effect on the outputs The degree ofobservability and controllability can be evaluated by the sizesof 119866119888 and 119866119900 with infinite time horizon

(27)

Notice that 119866119888 and 119866119900 satisfy the following differentialexpression

119889119866119888 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860119866119888 (0 119905) + 119866119888 (0 119905) 119860T + 119861119861T119889119866119900 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860T119866119900 (0 119905) + 119866119900 (0 119905) 119860 + 119862T119862

(28)

It is hard to directly calculate the Gramian matrices fromexpression (27) because they consist of an exponential matrixand an integral If all the eigenvalues of 119860 have strictlynegative real parts as 119879 rarr infin there exists an easier way tocalculate these matrices by solving the Lyapunov expression(29) below [47] which can be solved using MATLAB viagramThe obtained solutions are the unique positive definite

119860119866119888 + 119866119888119860T + 119861119861T = 0119860119879119866119900 + 119866119900119860 + 119862T119862 = 0 (29)

Obviously expression (29) shows that (i) the property ofobservability Gramian matrix depends on the output matrix119860 and state matrix 119862 accordingly the output energy can beaffected by properly choosing this matrix (ii) The propertyof controllability Gramian matrix depends on the controlmatrix 119860 and state matrix 119861 accordingly the control energycan be affected by properly choosing this matrix (iii) Whenthe system is only detectable the Gramian matrices will beonly some nonnegative definite matrices

In particular we can pose the problem seeking theminimum input energy (ie the control energy) that mustderive system (17) from the initial state 1199090 to a final state 119909119905119891at time 119905 = 119905119891 and this energy is defined by [34]

119869 = (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)Tsdot (119866119888 minus exp (119860119905119891)119866119888 exp (119860T119905119891))Tsdot (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

119866119888 = 119866119900 =[[[[[[[

with 1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 ge 0

(33)

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119896 ge 120590119896+1 = 120590119896+2 = sdot sdot sdot = 120590119896+119903gt 120590119896+119903+1 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 gt 0 (37)

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

1 (119905) = 119860111198911 (119905) + 119860121198912 (119905) + 1198611119906 (119905)2 (119905) = 119860211198911 (119905) + 119860221198912 (119905) + 1198612119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 11986211198911 (119905) + 11986221198912 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905)

119866119888 = 119866119900 = Σ(38)

where Σ = [(diag1205901 120590119896 120590119896+119903+1 120590119899 )2 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903] =(Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903) is the nonsingular and diagonal matrix The

10 Complexity

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

Finally End

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

500220 kV system at maximum andor minimum load isconsidered For maximum load the transferred power onthe 500 kV system from the North and Central to the Southis very high Thus when the three-phase fault occurs onthe lines such as Vungang (VA)-Danang (DN) and PLeiku(PLei)-DiLinh (DL) the system lost serious stability The

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Scenario Number 1 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kVDN-VA of circuit 1 close to the bus 500 kVDN and is cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

Figure 1 The event of the small-signal instability during the blackout WSCC system on Aug 10 1996 (a) the observed California OregonInterconnections power (Dittmer control center) (b) the simulated California Oregon Interconnections power (initial base case)

the measured and simulated power swings of this event Themeasured data show that the standard planningmodels couldbe unreliable predictors of oscillatory behavior

In recent years the economic tempo in the Vietnamhas been developed rapidly the total load has increasedcontinuously Accordingly the Vietnamese power system hasbeen faced with the serious power system blackouts such ason Dec 27 2006 July 20 2007 Apr 09 2007 and the latestevent on May 22 2013 All of the technical problems that theVietnamese power system identified after these events hadalready been reported [7 8]

The power system oscillations occur in the power systemsbecause of the contingencies such as the grid faults andsudden load changes the dampening of these oscillationsis necessary for a secure system operation If the controlledsystems react quickly against faults the power system stabilitywill enhance significantly The advanced power electronicshas led to a new design called flexible alternating-currenttransmission systems (FACTS) by Electrical Power ResearchInstitute (EPRI) The FACTS devices make more use of theexiting capacities in the power system and enhance thepower system stability For example the parameters in thepower system are controlled and the load flow is modifiedto preclude the overload of transmission lines after the gridfaults The FACTS devices are widely used to improve theefficiency of power system operation However the benefitsderived from FACTS controllers such as the small-signalstability and transient stability that depend greatly on theiroptimal placement in the power systems [9 10] Thereforelooking for the optimal placement of FACTS devices inthe large-scale power systems is an interesting researchtopic

State of the Science The damping of electromechanical oscil-lations in the power systems is a matter to belong with powerengineers and become one of the most interesting researchtopics [11 12] The PSSs are a profound influence solutionon improving the power system stability This solution isbased on the excitation system and the generator speeddeviation signals in which the speed deviation is used asthe supplementary control signals in order to provide to the

automatic voltage regulators The fast progress in the fieldof power electronics had contributed to the developmentof the electrical power industry based on the controllableutilization of FACTS [13] This device can dampen both thelocal- and interarea oscillations [10] whereas PSSs could onlydampen the local-area oscillations [14] Thus FACTS is thebest choice to enhance the stability margin of the existingpower systems [9 15] and especially to TCSC This deviceis considered as one of the most effective FACTS and iswidely used to regulate the power flow in transmission linesdampen the power oscillations mitigate subsynchronousresonance (SSR) enhance power system stability and so forthby changing the reactance of transmission line [16] There ishard sledding for the researchers regarding how to determineoptimal location of FACTS

The methods for solving location problems can be clas-sified into two categories (i) analytical techniques and (ii)heuristic optimization approaches [17ndash19] Among heuristicsParticle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has some advantages asless control parameters no require preconditions (continuityor differentiability of objective functions) and slow com-putational burden which make it popular to solve optimallocation and design problems of FACTS [20ndash24] HoweverPSO had drawback as slow convergence in search stage andlimit of local search ability furthermore the algorithm willnot work out the problems of scattering and optimization[15] Genetic algorithm (GA) has been proposed to solveoptimal location and design problems of FACTS [9 15 19 25]This method has been applied to obtain promising resultsHowever downside of GA is that the requested run timeis very long when studying the large-scale systems [26] In[24] optimal location of TCSC is determined via PSO whoseobjective is to maximize small-signal stability In [9 23] amathematical objective function is used to derive objectivefunction for GA and PSO by considering the load-ability inthe system security margins respectively In [27] the authorsused a method based on hybrid between PSO and GA foroptimal allocation of TCSC to enhance voltage stability andreduce power system losses The brainstorm optimizationalgorithm (BSOA) is new heuristic optimization algorithmproposed by the authors in [28] to seek the optimal location of

Complexity 3

TCSC for enhancing the voltage profile The obtained resultsare better than PSO and GA

For the analytical approaches the modal controllabilityindex has been developed by the authors in [29] to findsuitable location of TCSC for dampening interarea modelof oscillations However the authors consider the simulationwith or without FACTS placed in the power system to calcu-late the maximum controllability index values correspondingto critical mode Particularly their main interest is in theinput signals that do not know what is occurring at outputof FACTS through observability index values In [30] Vaidyaand Rajderkar used the sensitivity-based method and theauthors in [31] applied real power flow performance indexsensitivity to determine the optimal location of TCSC toenhance the power system stability In [32] the eigenvaluesensitivity method is utilized to find optimal location ofcontrollable series capacitors for dampening power systemlocation The eigenvalue sensitivity values are calculatedbased on the modal controllability and observability indicesof series reactance modulation In [33] the suitable locationof series compensators is determined based on trajectorysensitivity analysis The objective is to maximize the benefitof series compensators in order to improve the generatorrotor angle stability The energy method based on Gramianmatrices is another technique developed by the authors in[34 35] to determine the optimal setting of TCSC and staticVAR compensator (SVC) obtained with promising resultHowever the difficult of this method is when calculating thetoo large-scale power systems

It is observed that most of existing methods in theprevious literatures have been proposed recently for thelocation of FACTS These methods have several drawbacksfirstly the computation of critical modesmay be questionablein case of large-scale power system since they may not beunique Moreover the computation of them also depends onthe local or interarea modes Secondly the computation ofparticipation factors is only based on the state variables andneglects the input-output behavior Thirdly it just focuses onanalyzing the small-scale power systems Therefore in orderto overcome these drawbacks this paper is a continuation of[34] and combines the Hankel-norm approximation methodto determine the best location for installing TCSCwith objec-tive for damping power system oscillation of the practicalpower system to wit Vietnamese power system It indicatesthat using the Gramian matrix-based method to calculatethe complexity and large-scale power systems takes a lot oftime since the system state matrix is very large Thereforethe Hankel-norm approximation method [36] is proposedto solve such problem The selection of the input signal forTCSC controller is an important consideration for seekingthe optimal location to dampen the interarea oscillationsin which the line reactive and active power line currentand bus voltage are all good selections In this study theactive power in transmission line is considered as an effectiveinput signal for TCSC controller The contingency cases areconsidered based on the active power perturbation signalsin the transmission lines that were selected on the basis ofthe real power line flow performance index (PI) introducedin [37] In addition in order to determine the parameters

of the TCSC controller the optimal method in [38] is alsoconsidered in this paper

Contribution In this paper a relevant method for determin-ing the optimal placement of TCSC controller is proposedto enhance the stability of large-scale power systems Thisproposed method is developed from the energy approachbased on the controllability Gramian matrix of the linearizedsystem The multimachine power system with TCSC con-troller is expressed in the form of a differential algebraicequation (DAE) model The controllability Gramian matrixis obtained from the unique positive definite solutions ofthe Lyapunov equation and it depends on the control input-output and state matrixes of system The optimal locationis selected based on the maximum total Gramian energycalculated from the contingency outage cases (disturbancein lines) on the small-signal stability analysis that meansthe control input must insure the smallest control energyIn line with this purpose the Hankel-norm approximationmethod is applied to reduce the number of state variableswhen dealing with large-scale power systems

Themain new contributions of this paper are summarizedas follows

(i) To develop a relevant method to determine the opti-mal location of FACTS on the small-signal stabilityanalysis

(ii) To propose an association between proposed methodand the Hankel-norm approximationmethod to limitthe time calculation so that the proposedmethod canbe easily implemented for complexity and large-scalepower systems

The remainder of this paper is organized as followsSection 2 addresses the principle of characteristics of theVietnamese power system and the differential algebraic equa-tion (DAE) model of the power system with and withoutTCSC controller The proposed method for optimal locationof TCSC controller based on the Gramian matrices andthe Hankel-norm approximation method are introduced inSection 3 The case studies and conclusions are given inSections 4 and 5 respectively Finally the algorithm for thetransformation matrix can be found in the Appendix

231 TCSC Controller The main role of TCSC is to controlfast the active power flow increase the power transfer ontransmission line and enhance the stability of the powersystem The basic structure TCSC consists of a fixed seriescapacitor bank C in parallel with a thyristor-controlledreactor (TCR) as shown in Figure 3(a) It can controlthe continuous power flow on the alternating-current (AC)line with a variable series capacitive reactance This seriesreactance is adjusted through variation of firing angle 120572the effective reactance 119883tcsc depends on three regions (i)inductive region which starts increasing from 119883119871119883119862 valueto infinity (119883119871(120572) = 119883119862) (ii) capacitive region which startsincreasing from infinity to capacitive reactance 119883119862 and (iii)resonance region which occurs between these two regionsIn order to avoid the resonance region the steady state limitsof the firing angle are chosen to be 90∘ le 120572 le 180∘ withthe resonant point 120572119903 = 1284∘ In this paper for investigatingpower system stability after a fault TCSC should operate incapacitive region and the limit of the steady state to the firingangle is chosen to be 120572119903 le 120572 le 180∘ as shown in Figure 3(c)

The variable 119883tcsc can be obtained by using some of thecontrol strategies and the feedback signal of the TCSC con-troller This feedback signal can be the signal of active powerreactive power current of transmission line or transmissionangle [41] In this paper the main objective is to dampen thepower oscillations The active power signal in transmissionline is chosen [42] and the control strategy for TCSC is shownin Figure 4 [34]

The new equivalent impedance of the line when placedTCSC as shown in Figure 3(b) can be obtained as [43]

119883new line = 119883line + 119883tcsc (8)

in which the relationship between the firing angle 120572 and theimpedance of the TCSC at fundamental frequency can bederived as follows [44]

3 The Proposed Approach

31 Gramian-Based Controllability and Observability Thesystem often has two properties controllability and observ-ability which play an important role regarding the determi-nation of the optimal location of TCSC in the power systemFrom that the input and output variables need to be used inorder to observe and control the system Therefore (16) canbe redescribed in a state-space form as follows

(119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119909 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (17)

where

119909(119905) is the state vector119910(119905) is the output vector119906(119905) is the input vector119860 is the state matrix119861 is the control matrix119862 is the output matrix119863 is the feed-forward matrix

311 Controllability

Definition 1 System (17) is controllable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states (1199090 1199091 isin R) there exists the input 119906(119905)[1199050 1199051] rarrR that drives the system from 1199090(1199050) to 1199091(1199051) thisis true the system is completely controllable despite the initialtime and state

Every actuator in the power systems is the energy thatcan be limited such that controllability matrix has been usedfor the purpose of dealing with the amount of input energyThis input energy is required to reach a given state fromthe origin The property of controllability of the system canbe described in a quantitative manner by the controllabilityfunction Typically it is defined for dynamic system as theminimum input energy that necessary drives the system fromstate 119909(minus119879) = 0 to state 119909(0) = 1199090 and can be given as [46]

119871119888 (1199090) = minimize119906isin1198712(minus1198790)

int0minus119879119906 (119905)2 119889119905

subject to (119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119909 (minus119879) = 0119909 (0) = 1199090

(18)

It can be proven that the above system (17) has thetransient controllability function which is given as follows

119871119888 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119888 (119879) 1199090 (19)

Remark 2 For the real dynamic system 119871119888(1199090) is largeand the state 1199090 is difficult to reach Thus the system isuncontrollable

Remark 3 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable in the time range (1199050 1199051) if and only if thecontrollability matrix Δ defined as (20) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the controllabilitymatrixhas dimension 119899times119899119898 where119898 is the dimension of the inputvector 119906

312 Observability The system states are the internal vari-ables which are hard to directly measure but the outputscan be measured easily at the same time The observabilityproperty plays an important role in the analysis of optimallocation

Definition 5 System (17) is observable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states 1199090 1199091 isin R there exists the output 119910(119905)1199050 le 119905 le 1199051 lt infin assuming that the input 119906(119905) is known thisis true the system is observable despite the initial time andstate

The observability property of the system can be character-ized in a quantitative manner by the observability function Itis defined for dynamic system as output energy generated bythe state 119909(0) = 1199090 (when 119906 = 0) and is given as [46]

It can be proven that system (17) has the transientobservability function which is given as follows

119871119900 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119900 1199090 (23)

Remark 6 For the real dynamic system 119871119900(1199090)measures theeffect of the initial condition on the output if 119871119900(1199090) is smallthe effect of1199090 in the output is confined such that it is difficultto reach state 1199090 Thus the system is unobservable

Remark 7 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17)are observable in the interval [1199050 1199051] if and only if theobservability matrix nabla defined as (24) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the observability matrixhas dimension 119899119901times119899 where 119901 is the dimension of the outputvector 119910

Remark 8 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17) areobservable if and only if the observability Gramian matrix119866119900(119879) on horizon T defined as (25) has full rank 1198991015840 and ispositive definite

Formal remarks for controllability and observability arewhite and black In reality some states are very calamitousto control or have little effect on the outputs The degree ofobservability and controllability can be evaluated by the sizesof 119866119888 and 119866119900 with infinite time horizon

(27)

Notice that 119866119888 and 119866119900 satisfy the following differentialexpression

119889119866119888 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860119866119888 (0 119905) + 119866119888 (0 119905) 119860T + 119861119861T119889119866119900 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860T119866119900 (0 119905) + 119866119900 (0 119905) 119860 + 119862T119862

(28)

It is hard to directly calculate the Gramian matrices fromexpression (27) because they consist of an exponential matrixand an integral If all the eigenvalues of 119860 have strictlynegative real parts as 119879 rarr infin there exists an easier way tocalculate these matrices by solving the Lyapunov expression(29) below [47] which can be solved using MATLAB viagramThe obtained solutions are the unique positive definite

119860119866119888 + 119866119888119860T + 119861119861T = 0119860119879119866119900 + 119866119900119860 + 119862T119862 = 0 (29)

Obviously expression (29) shows that (i) the property ofobservability Gramian matrix depends on the output matrix119860 and state matrix 119862 accordingly the output energy can beaffected by properly choosing this matrix (ii) The propertyof controllability Gramian matrix depends on the controlmatrix 119860 and state matrix 119861 accordingly the control energycan be affected by properly choosing this matrix (iii) Whenthe system is only detectable the Gramian matrices will beonly some nonnegative definite matrices

In particular we can pose the problem seeking theminimum input energy (ie the control energy) that mustderive system (17) from the initial state 1199090 to a final state 119909119905119891at time 119905 = 119905119891 and this energy is defined by [34]

119869 = (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)Tsdot (119866119888 minus exp (119860119905119891)119866119888 exp (119860T119905119891))Tsdot (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

119866119888 = 119866119900 =[[[[[[[

with 1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 ge 0

(33)

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119896 ge 120590119896+1 = 120590119896+2 = sdot sdot sdot = 120590119896+119903gt 120590119896+119903+1 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 gt 0 (37)

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

1 (119905) = 119860111198911 (119905) + 119860121198912 (119905) + 1198611119906 (119905)2 (119905) = 119860211198911 (119905) + 119860221198912 (119905) + 1198612119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 11986211198911 (119905) + 11986221198912 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905)

119866119888 = 119866119900 = Σ(38)

where Σ = [(diag1205901 120590119896 120590119896+119903+1 120590119899 )2 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903] =(Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903) is the nonsingular and diagonal matrix The

10 Complexity

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

Finally End

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

500220 kV system at maximum andor minimum load isconsidered For maximum load the transferred power onthe 500 kV system from the North and Central to the Southis very high Thus when the three-phase fault occurs onthe lines such as Vungang (VA)-Danang (DN) and PLeiku(PLei)-DiLinh (DL) the system lost serious stability The

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Scenario Number 1 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kVDN-VA of circuit 1 close to the bus 500 kVDN and is cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

TCSC for enhancing the voltage profile The obtained resultsare better than PSO and GA

For the analytical approaches the modal controllabilityindex has been developed by the authors in [29] to findsuitable location of TCSC for dampening interarea modelof oscillations However the authors consider the simulationwith or without FACTS placed in the power system to calcu-late the maximum controllability index values correspondingto critical mode Particularly their main interest is in theinput signals that do not know what is occurring at outputof FACTS through observability index values In [30] Vaidyaand Rajderkar used the sensitivity-based method and theauthors in [31] applied real power flow performance indexsensitivity to determine the optimal location of TCSC toenhance the power system stability In [32] the eigenvaluesensitivity method is utilized to find optimal location ofcontrollable series capacitors for dampening power systemlocation The eigenvalue sensitivity values are calculatedbased on the modal controllability and observability indicesof series reactance modulation In [33] the suitable locationof series compensators is determined based on trajectorysensitivity analysis The objective is to maximize the benefitof series compensators in order to improve the generatorrotor angle stability The energy method based on Gramianmatrices is another technique developed by the authors in[34 35] to determine the optimal setting of TCSC and staticVAR compensator (SVC) obtained with promising resultHowever the difficult of this method is when calculating thetoo large-scale power systems

It is observed that most of existing methods in theprevious literatures have been proposed recently for thelocation of FACTS These methods have several drawbacksfirstly the computation of critical modesmay be questionablein case of large-scale power system since they may not beunique Moreover the computation of them also depends onthe local or interarea modes Secondly the computation ofparticipation factors is only based on the state variables andneglects the input-output behavior Thirdly it just focuses onanalyzing the small-scale power systems Therefore in orderto overcome these drawbacks this paper is a continuation of[34] and combines the Hankel-norm approximation methodto determine the best location for installing TCSCwith objec-tive for damping power system oscillation of the practicalpower system to wit Vietnamese power system It indicatesthat using the Gramian matrix-based method to calculatethe complexity and large-scale power systems takes a lot oftime since the system state matrix is very large Thereforethe Hankel-norm approximation method [36] is proposedto solve such problem The selection of the input signal forTCSC controller is an important consideration for seekingthe optimal location to dampen the interarea oscillationsin which the line reactive and active power line currentand bus voltage are all good selections In this study theactive power in transmission line is considered as an effectiveinput signal for TCSC controller The contingency cases areconsidered based on the active power perturbation signalsin the transmission lines that were selected on the basis ofthe real power line flow performance index (PI) introducedin [37] In addition in order to determine the parameters

of the TCSC controller the optimal method in [38] is alsoconsidered in this paper

Contribution In this paper a relevant method for determin-ing the optimal placement of TCSC controller is proposedto enhance the stability of large-scale power systems Thisproposed method is developed from the energy approachbased on the controllability Gramian matrix of the linearizedsystem The multimachine power system with TCSC con-troller is expressed in the form of a differential algebraicequation (DAE) model The controllability Gramian matrixis obtained from the unique positive definite solutions ofthe Lyapunov equation and it depends on the control input-output and state matrixes of system The optimal locationis selected based on the maximum total Gramian energycalculated from the contingency outage cases (disturbancein lines) on the small-signal stability analysis that meansthe control input must insure the smallest control energyIn line with this purpose the Hankel-norm approximationmethod is applied to reduce the number of state variableswhen dealing with large-scale power systems

Themain new contributions of this paper are summarizedas follows

(i) To develop a relevant method to determine the opti-mal location of FACTS on the small-signal stabilityanalysis

(ii) To propose an association between proposed methodand the Hankel-norm approximationmethod to limitthe time calculation so that the proposedmethod canbe easily implemented for complexity and large-scalepower systems

The remainder of this paper is organized as followsSection 2 addresses the principle of characteristics of theVietnamese power system and the differential algebraic equa-tion (DAE) model of the power system with and withoutTCSC controller The proposed method for optimal locationof TCSC controller based on the Gramian matrices andthe Hankel-norm approximation method are introduced inSection 3 The case studies and conclusions are given inSections 4 and 5 respectively Finally the algorithm for thetransformation matrix can be found in the Appendix

The variable 119883tcsc can be obtained by using some of thecontrol strategies and the feedback signal of the TCSC con-troller This feedback signal can be the signal of active powerreactive power current of transmission line or transmissionangle [41] In this paper the main objective is to dampen thepower oscillations The active power signal in transmissionline is chosen [42] and the control strategy for TCSC is shownin Figure 4 [34]

3 The Proposed Approach

31 Gramian-Based Controllability and Observability Thesystem often has two properties controllability and observ-ability which play an important role regarding the determi-nation of the optimal location of TCSC in the power systemFrom that the input and output variables need to be used inorder to observe and control the system Therefore (16) canbe redescribed in a state-space form as follows

(119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119909 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (17)

where

119909(119905) is the state vector119910(119905) is the output vector119906(119905) is the input vector119860 is the state matrix119861 is the control matrix119862 is the output matrix119863 is the feed-forward matrix

311 Controllability

Definition 1 System (17) is controllable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states (1199090 1199091 isin R) there exists the input 119906(119905)[1199050 1199051] rarrR that drives the system from 1199090(1199050) to 1199091(1199051) thisis true the system is completely controllable despite the initialtime and state

Every actuator in the power systems is the energy thatcan be limited such that controllability matrix has been usedfor the purpose of dealing with the amount of input energyThis input energy is required to reach a given state fromthe origin The property of controllability of the system canbe described in a quantitative manner by the controllabilityfunction Typically it is defined for dynamic system as theminimum input energy that necessary drives the system fromstate 119909(minus119879) = 0 to state 119909(0) = 1199090 and can be given as [46]

119871119888 (1199090) = minimize119906isin1198712(minus1198790)

int0minus119879119906 (119905)2 119889119905

subject to (119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119909 (minus119879) = 0119909 (0) = 1199090

(18)

It can be proven that the above system (17) has thetransient controllability function which is given as follows

119871119888 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119888 (119879) 1199090 (19)

Remark 2 For the real dynamic system 119871119888(1199090) is largeand the state 1199090 is difficult to reach Thus the system isuncontrollable

Remark 3 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable in the time range (1199050 1199051) if and only if thecontrollability matrix Δ defined as (20) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the controllabilitymatrixhas dimension 119899times119899119898 where119898 is the dimension of the inputvector 119906

312 Observability The system states are the internal vari-ables which are hard to directly measure but the outputscan be measured easily at the same time The observabilityproperty plays an important role in the analysis of optimallocation

Definition 5 System (17) is observable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states 1199090 1199091 isin R there exists the output 119910(119905)1199050 le 119905 le 1199051 lt infin assuming that the input 119906(119905) is known thisis true the system is observable despite the initial time andstate

The observability property of the system can be character-ized in a quantitative manner by the observability function Itis defined for dynamic system as output energy generated bythe state 119909(0) = 1199090 (when 119906 = 0) and is given as [46]

It can be proven that system (17) has the transientobservability function which is given as follows

119871119900 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119900 1199090 (23)

Remark 6 For the real dynamic system 119871119900(1199090)measures theeffect of the initial condition on the output if 119871119900(1199090) is smallthe effect of1199090 in the output is confined such that it is difficultto reach state 1199090 Thus the system is unobservable

Remark 7 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17)are observable in the interval [1199050 1199051] if and only if theobservability matrix nabla defined as (24) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the observability matrixhas dimension 119899119901times119899 where 119901 is the dimension of the outputvector 119910

Remark 8 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17) areobservable if and only if the observability Gramian matrix119866119900(119879) on horizon T defined as (25) has full rank 1198991015840 and ispositive definite

Formal remarks for controllability and observability arewhite and black In reality some states are very calamitousto control or have little effect on the outputs The degree ofobservability and controllability can be evaluated by the sizesof 119866119888 and 119866119900 with infinite time horizon

(27)

Notice that 119866119888 and 119866119900 satisfy the following differentialexpression

119889119866119888 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860119866119888 (0 119905) + 119866119888 (0 119905) 119860T + 119861119861T119889119866119900 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860T119866119900 (0 119905) + 119866119900 (0 119905) 119860 + 119862T119862

(28)

It is hard to directly calculate the Gramian matrices fromexpression (27) because they consist of an exponential matrixand an integral If all the eigenvalues of 119860 have strictlynegative real parts as 119879 rarr infin there exists an easier way tocalculate these matrices by solving the Lyapunov expression(29) below [47] which can be solved using MATLAB viagramThe obtained solutions are the unique positive definite

119860119866119888 + 119866119888119860T + 119861119861T = 0119860119879119866119900 + 119866119900119860 + 119862T119862 = 0 (29)

Obviously expression (29) shows that (i) the property ofobservability Gramian matrix depends on the output matrix119860 and state matrix 119862 accordingly the output energy can beaffected by properly choosing this matrix (ii) The propertyof controllability Gramian matrix depends on the controlmatrix 119860 and state matrix 119861 accordingly the control energycan be affected by properly choosing this matrix (iii) Whenthe system is only detectable the Gramian matrices will beonly some nonnegative definite matrices

In particular we can pose the problem seeking theminimum input energy (ie the control energy) that mustderive system (17) from the initial state 1199090 to a final state 119909119905119891at time 119905 = 119905119891 and this energy is defined by [34]

119869 = (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)Tsdot (119866119888 minus exp (119860119905119891)119866119888 exp (119860T119905119891))Tsdot (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)

Complexity 9

Clearly expression (30) shows that minimizing 119869 is thesame as maximizing the Gramian matrix 119866119888 Furthermoremaximizing the transmitted total energy (potential andkinetic energy) from the actuators to the structure for a giveninput energy it can be obtained as follows

119864 = intinfin0(119864119901 (119905) + 119864119896 (119905)) 119889119905 = intinfin

0119909 (119905) 119909T (119905) 119889119905 (31)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119896 ge 120590119896+1 = 120590119896+2 = sdot sdot sdot = 120590119896+119903gt 120590119896+119903+1 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 gt 0 (37)

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

1 (119905) = 119860111198911 (119905) + 119860121198912 (119905) + 1198611119906 (119905)2 (119905) = 119860211198911 (119905) + 119860221198912 (119905) + 1198612119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 11986211198911 (119905) + 11986221198912 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905)

119866119888 = 119866119900 = Σ(38)

where Σ = [(diag1205901 120590119896 120590119896+119903+1 120590119899 )2 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903] =(Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903) is the nonsingular and diagonal matrix The

10 Complexity

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

Finally End

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

500220 kV system at maximum andor minimum load isconsidered For maximum load the transferred power onthe 500 kV system from the North and Central to the Southis very high Thus when the three-phase fault occurs onthe lines such as Vungang (VA)-Danang (DN) and PLeiku(PLei)-DiLinh (DL) the system lost serious stability The

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Scenario Number 1 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kVDN-VA of circuit 1 close to the bus 500 kVDN and is cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

3 The Proposed Approach

31 Gramian-Based Controllability and Observability Thesystem often has two properties controllability and observ-ability which play an important role regarding the determi-nation of the optimal location of TCSC in the power systemFrom that the input and output variables need to be used inorder to observe and control the system Therefore (16) canbe redescribed in a state-space form as follows

(119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119909 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (17)

where

119909(119905) is the state vector119910(119905) is the output vector119906(119905) is the input vector119860 is the state matrix119861 is the control matrix119862 is the output matrix119863 is the feed-forward matrix

311 Controllability

Definition 1 System (17) is controllable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states (1199090 1199091 isin R) there exists the input 119906(119905)[1199050 1199051] rarrR that drives the system from 1199090(1199050) to 1199091(1199051) thisis true the system is completely controllable despite the initialtime and state

Every actuator in the power systems is the energy thatcan be limited such that controllability matrix has been usedfor the purpose of dealing with the amount of input energyThis input energy is required to reach a given state fromthe origin The property of controllability of the system canbe described in a quantitative manner by the controllabilityfunction Typically it is defined for dynamic system as theminimum input energy that necessary drives the system fromstate 119909(minus119879) = 0 to state 119909(0) = 1199090 and can be given as [46]

119871119888 (1199090) = minimize119906isin1198712(minus1198790)

int0minus119879119906 (119905)2 119889119905

subject to (119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119909 (minus119879) = 0119909 (0) = 1199090

(18)

It can be proven that the above system (17) has thetransient controllability function which is given as follows

119871119888 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119888 (119879) 1199090 (19)

Remark 2 For the real dynamic system 119871119888(1199090) is largeand the state 1199090 is difficult to reach Thus the system isuncontrollable

Remark 3 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable in the time range (1199050 1199051) if and only if thecontrollability matrix Δ defined as (20) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the controllabilitymatrixhas dimension 119899times119899119898 where119898 is the dimension of the inputvector 119906

312 Observability The system states are the internal vari-ables which are hard to directly measure but the outputscan be measured easily at the same time The observabilityproperty plays an important role in the analysis of optimallocation

Definition 5 System (17) is observable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states 1199090 1199091 isin R there exists the output 119910(119905)1199050 le 119905 le 1199051 lt infin assuming that the input 119906(119905) is known thisis true the system is observable despite the initial time andstate

The observability property of the system can be character-ized in a quantitative manner by the observability function Itis defined for dynamic system as output energy generated bythe state 119909(0) = 1199090 (when 119906 = 0) and is given as [46]

It can be proven that system (17) has the transientobservability function which is given as follows

119871119900 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119900 1199090 (23)

Remark 6 For the real dynamic system 119871119900(1199090)measures theeffect of the initial condition on the output if 119871119900(1199090) is smallthe effect of1199090 in the output is confined such that it is difficultto reach state 1199090 Thus the system is unobservable

Remark 7 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17)are observable in the interval [1199050 1199051] if and only if theobservability matrix nabla defined as (24) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the observability matrixhas dimension 119899119901times119899 where 119901 is the dimension of the outputvector 119910

Remark 8 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17) areobservable if and only if the observability Gramian matrix119866119900(119879) on horizon T defined as (25) has full rank 1198991015840 and ispositive definite

Formal remarks for controllability and observability arewhite and black In reality some states are very calamitousto control or have little effect on the outputs The degree ofobservability and controllability can be evaluated by the sizesof 119866119888 and 119866119900 with infinite time horizon

(27)

Notice that 119866119888 and 119866119900 satisfy the following differentialexpression

119889119866119888 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860119866119888 (0 119905) + 119866119888 (0 119905) 119860T + 119861119861T119889119866119900 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860T119866119900 (0 119905) + 119866119900 (0 119905) 119860 + 119862T119862

(28)

It is hard to directly calculate the Gramian matrices fromexpression (27) because they consist of an exponential matrixand an integral If all the eigenvalues of 119860 have strictlynegative real parts as 119879 rarr infin there exists an easier way tocalculate these matrices by solving the Lyapunov expression(29) below [47] which can be solved using MATLAB viagramThe obtained solutions are the unique positive definite

119860119866119888 + 119866119888119860T + 119861119861T = 0119860119879119866119900 + 119866119900119860 + 119862T119862 = 0 (29)

Obviously expression (29) shows that (i) the property ofobservability Gramian matrix depends on the output matrix119860 and state matrix 119862 accordingly the output energy can beaffected by properly choosing this matrix (ii) The propertyof controllability Gramian matrix depends on the controlmatrix 119860 and state matrix 119861 accordingly the control energycan be affected by properly choosing this matrix (iii) Whenthe system is only detectable the Gramian matrices will beonly some nonnegative definite matrices

In particular we can pose the problem seeking theminimum input energy (ie the control energy) that mustderive system (17) from the initial state 1199090 to a final state 119909119905119891at time 119905 = 119905119891 and this energy is defined by [34]

119869 = (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)Tsdot (119866119888 minus exp (119860119905119891)119866119888 exp (119860T119905119891))Tsdot (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)

(30)

Complexity 9

Clearly expression (30) shows that minimizing 119869 is thesame as maximizing the Gramian matrix 119866119888 Furthermoremaximizing the transmitted total energy (potential andkinetic energy) from the actuators to the structure for a giveninput energy it can be obtained as follows

119864 = intinfin0(119864119901 (119905) + 119864119896 (119905)) 119889119905 = intinfin

0119909 (119905) 119909T (119905) 119889119905 (31)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

with 1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 ge 0

(33)

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119896 ge 120590119896+1 = 120590119896+2 = sdot sdot sdot = 120590119896+119903gt 120590119896+119903+1 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 gt 0 (37)

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

In addition the existing series compensation ratio on theVietnamese 500 kV power system is considered to calculateand listed out in Table 1

41 Determine Feasible Locations The correctness of the pro-posed method for the optimal location of TCSC is verifiedon the small-signal analysis the dynamic model of TCSCis chosen as shown in Figure 4 [34] We suppose thecompensation capacity of TCSC is set to the range [075 12]of the uncompensated line The active power perturbationsignal in the line is considered as the input signal for theTCSC controller [51]The optimalmethod in [38] was used todetermine the parameters for the TCSC controller and theseparameters are listed in Table 2 [34]

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Scenario Number 1 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kVDN-VA of circuit 1 close to the bus 500 kVDN and is cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

23 DAE Model of Power System with TCSC Controller

231 TCSC Controller The main role of TCSC is to controlfast the active power flow increase the power transfer ontransmission line and enhance the stability of the powersystem The basic structure TCSC consists of a fixed seriescapacitor bank C in parallel with a thyristor-controlledreactor (TCR) as shown in Figure 3(a) It can controlthe continuous power flow on the alternating-current (AC)line with a variable series capacitive reactance This seriesreactance is adjusted through variation of firing angle 120572the effective reactance 119883tcsc depends on three regions (i)inductive region which starts increasing from 119883119871119883119862 valueto infinity (119883119871(120572) = 119883119862) (ii) capacitive region which startsincreasing from infinity to capacitive reactance 119883119862 and (iii)resonance region which occurs between these two regionsIn order to avoid the resonance region the steady state limitsof the firing angle are chosen to be 90∘ le 120572 le 180∘ withthe resonant point 120572119903 = 1284∘ In this paper for investigatingpower system stability after a fault TCSC should operate incapacitive region and the limit of the steady state to the firingangle is chosen to be 120572119903 le 120572 le 180∘ as shown in Figure 3(c)

Figure 4 The transfer function mode of TCSC controller

The variable 119883tcsc can be obtained by using some of thecontrol strategies and the feedback signal of the TCSC con-troller This feedback signal can be the signal of active powerreactive power current of transmission line or transmissionangle [41] In this paper the main objective is to dampen thepower oscillations The active power signal in transmissionline is chosen [42] and the control strategy for TCSC is shownin Figure 4 [34]

The new equivalent impedance of the line when placedTCSC as shown in Figure 3(b) can be obtained as [43]

119883new line = 119883line + 119883tcsc (8)

in which the relationship between the firing angle 120572 and theimpedance of the TCSC at fundamental frequency can bederived as follows [44]

3 The Proposed Approach

31 Gramian-Based Controllability and Observability Thesystem often has two properties controllability and observ-ability which play an important role regarding the determi-nation of the optimal location of TCSC in the power systemFrom that the input and output variables need to be used inorder to observe and control the system Therefore (16) canbe redescribed in a state-space form as follows

(119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119909 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (17)

where

119909(119905) is the state vector119910(119905) is the output vector119906(119905) is the input vector119860 is the state matrix119861 is the control matrix119862 is the output matrix119863 is the feed-forward matrix

311 Controllability

Definition 1 System (17) is controllable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states (1199090 1199091 isin R) there exists the input 119906(119905)[1199050 1199051] rarrR that drives the system from 1199090(1199050) to 1199091(1199051) thisis true the system is completely controllable despite the initialtime and state

Every actuator in the power systems is the energy thatcan be limited such that controllability matrix has been usedfor the purpose of dealing with the amount of input energyThis input energy is required to reach a given state fromthe origin The property of controllability of the system canbe described in a quantitative manner by the controllabilityfunction Typically it is defined for dynamic system as theminimum input energy that necessary drives the system fromstate 119909(minus119879) = 0 to state 119909(0) = 1199090 and can be given as [46]

119871119888 (1199090) = minimize119906isin1198712(minus1198790)

int0minus119879119906 (119905)2 119889119905

subject to (119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119909 (minus119879) = 0119909 (0) = 1199090

(18)

It can be proven that the above system (17) has thetransient controllability function which is given as follows

119871119888 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119888 (119879) 1199090 (19)

Remark 2 For the real dynamic system 119871119888(1199090) is largeand the state 1199090 is difficult to reach Thus the system isuncontrollable

Remark 3 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable in the time range (1199050 1199051) if and only if thecontrollability matrix Δ defined as (20) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the controllabilitymatrixhas dimension 119899times119899119898 where119898 is the dimension of the inputvector 119906

Remark 4 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable if and only if the controllability Gramian matrix

8 Complexity

312 Observability The system states are the internal vari-ables which are hard to directly measure but the outputscan be measured easily at the same time The observabilityproperty plays an important role in the analysis of optimallocation

Definition 5 System (17) is observable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states 1199090 1199091 isin R there exists the output 119910(119905)1199050 le 119905 le 1199051 lt infin assuming that the input 119906(119905) is known thisis true the system is observable despite the initial time andstate

The observability property of the system can be character-ized in a quantitative manner by the observability function Itis defined for dynamic system as output energy generated bythe state 119909(0) = 1199090 (when 119906 = 0) and is given as [46]

Remark 6 For the real dynamic system 119871119900(1199090)measures theeffect of the initial condition on the output if 119871119900(1199090) is smallthe effect of1199090 in the output is confined such that it is difficultto reach state 1199090 Thus the system is unobservable

Remark 7 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17)are observable in the interval [1199050 1199051] if and only if theobservability matrix nabla defined as (24) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the observability matrixhas dimension 119899119901times119899 where 119901 is the dimension of the outputvector 119910

Remark 8 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17) areobservable if and only if the observability Gramian matrix119866119900(119879) on horizon T defined as (25) has full rank 1198991015840 and ispositive definite

Formal remarks for controllability and observability arewhite and black In reality some states are very calamitousto control or have little effect on the outputs The degree ofobservability and controllability can be evaluated by the sizesof 119866119888 and 119866119900 with infinite time horizon

(27)

Notice that 119866119888 and 119866119900 satisfy the following differentialexpression

119889119866119888 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860119866119888 (0 119905) + 119866119888 (0 119905) 119860T + 119861119861T119889119866119900 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860T119866119900 (0 119905) + 119866119900 (0 119905) 119860 + 119862T119862

(28)

It is hard to directly calculate the Gramian matrices fromexpression (27) because they consist of an exponential matrixand an integral If all the eigenvalues of 119860 have strictlynegative real parts as 119879 rarr infin there exists an easier way tocalculate these matrices by solving the Lyapunov expression(29) below [47] which can be solved using MATLAB viagramThe obtained solutions are the unique positive definite

119860119866119888 + 119866119888119860T + 119861119861T = 0119860119879119866119900 + 119866119900119860 + 119862T119862 = 0 (29)

Obviously expression (29) shows that (i) the property ofobservability Gramian matrix depends on the output matrix119860 and state matrix 119862 accordingly the output energy can beaffected by properly choosing this matrix (ii) The propertyof controllability Gramian matrix depends on the controlmatrix 119860 and state matrix 119861 accordingly the control energycan be affected by properly choosing this matrix (iii) Whenthe system is only detectable the Gramian matrices will beonly some nonnegative definite matrices

In particular we can pose the problem seeking theminimum input energy (ie the control energy) that mustderive system (17) from the initial state 1199090 to a final state 119909119905119891at time 119905 = 119905119891 and this energy is defined by [34]

119869 = (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)Tsdot (119866119888 minus exp (119860119905119891)119866119888 exp (119860T119905119891))Tsdot (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)

Complexity 9

Clearly expression (30) shows that minimizing 119869 is thesame as maximizing the Gramian matrix 119866119888 Furthermoremaximizing the transmitted total energy (potential andkinetic energy) from the actuators to the structure for a giveninput energy it can be obtained as follows

119864 = intinfin0(119864119901 (119905) + 119864119896 (119905)) 119889119905 = intinfin

0119909 (119905) 119909T (119905) 119889119905 (31)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

(33)

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119896 ge 120590119896+1 = 120590119896+2 = sdot sdot sdot = 120590119896+119903gt 120590119896+119903+1 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 gt 0 (37)

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

1 (119905) = 119860111198911 (119905) + 119860121198912 (119905) + 1198611119906 (119905)2 (119905) = 119860211198911 (119905) + 119860221198912 (119905) + 1198612119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 11986211198911 (119905) + 11986221198912 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905)

119866119888 = 119866119900 = Σ(38)

where Σ = [(diag1205901 120590119896 120590119896+119903+1 120590119899 )2 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903] =(Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903) is the nonsingular and diagonal matrix The

10 Complexity

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

3 The Proposed Approach

31 Gramian-Based Controllability and Observability Thesystem often has two properties controllability and observ-ability which play an important role regarding the determi-nation of the optimal location of TCSC in the power systemFrom that the input and output variables need to be used inorder to observe and control the system Therefore (16) canbe redescribed in a state-space form as follows

(119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119909 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (17)

where

119909(119905) is the state vector119910(119905) is the output vector119906(119905) is the input vector119860 is the state matrix119861 is the control matrix119862 is the output matrix119863 is the feed-forward matrix

311 Controllability

Definition 1 System (17) is controllable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states (1199090 1199091 isin R) there exists the input 119906(119905)[1199050 1199051] rarrR that drives the system from 1199090(1199050) to 1199091(1199051) thisis true the system is completely controllable despite the initialtime and state

Every actuator in the power systems is the energy thatcan be limited such that controllability matrix has been usedfor the purpose of dealing with the amount of input energyThis input energy is required to reach a given state fromthe origin The property of controllability of the system canbe described in a quantitative manner by the controllabilityfunction Typically it is defined for dynamic system as theminimum input energy that necessary drives the system fromstate 119909(minus119879) = 0 to state 119909(0) = 1199090 and can be given as [46]

It can be proven that the above system (17) has thetransient controllability function which is given as follows

119871119888 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119888 (119879) 1199090 (19)

Remark 2 For the real dynamic system 119871119888(1199090) is largeand the state 1199090 is difficult to reach Thus the system isuncontrollable

Remark 3 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable in the time range (1199050 1199051) if and only if thecontrollability matrix Δ defined as (20) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the controllabilitymatrixhas dimension 119899times119899119898 where119898 is the dimension of the inputvector 119906

312 Observability The system states are the internal vari-ables which are hard to directly measure but the outputscan be measured easily at the same time The observabilityproperty plays an important role in the analysis of optimallocation

Definition 5 System (17) is observable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states 1199090 1199091 isin R there exists the output 119910(119905)1199050 le 119905 le 1199051 lt infin assuming that the input 119906(119905) is known thisis true the system is observable despite the initial time andstate

The observability property of the system can be character-ized in a quantitative manner by the observability function Itis defined for dynamic system as output energy generated bythe state 119909(0) = 1199090 (when 119906 = 0) and is given as [46]

It can be proven that system (17) has the transientobservability function which is given as follows

119871119900 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119900 1199090 (23)

Remark 6 For the real dynamic system 119871119900(1199090)measures theeffect of the initial condition on the output if 119871119900(1199090) is smallthe effect of1199090 in the output is confined such that it is difficultto reach state 1199090 Thus the system is unobservable

Remark 7 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17)are observable in the interval [1199050 1199051] if and only if theobservability matrix nabla defined as (24) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the observability matrixhas dimension 119899119901times119899 where 119901 is the dimension of the outputvector 119910

Remark 8 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17) areobservable if and only if the observability Gramian matrix119866119900(119879) on horizon T defined as (25) has full rank 1198991015840 and ispositive definite

119866119900 (119879) = int1198790exp (119860T119905) 119862T119862 exp (119860119905) 119889119905 (25)

If system (17) is asymptotically stability around the originthe controllability and observability functions can be given by

Formal remarks for controllability and observability arewhite and black In reality some states are very calamitousto control or have little effect on the outputs The degree ofobservability and controllability can be evaluated by the sizesof 119866119888 and 119866119900 with infinite time horizon

(27)

Notice that 119866119888 and 119866119900 satisfy the following differentialexpression

119889119866119888 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860119866119888 (0 119905) + 119866119888 (0 119905) 119860T + 119861119861T119889119866119900 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860T119866119900 (0 119905) + 119866119900 (0 119905) 119860 + 119862T119862

(28)

It is hard to directly calculate the Gramian matrices fromexpression (27) because they consist of an exponential matrixand an integral If all the eigenvalues of 119860 have strictlynegative real parts as 119879 rarr infin there exists an easier way tocalculate these matrices by solving the Lyapunov expression(29) below [47] which can be solved using MATLAB viagramThe obtained solutions are the unique positive definite

119860119866119888 + 119866119888119860T + 119861119861T = 0119860119879119866119900 + 119866119900119860 + 119862T119862 = 0 (29)

Obviously expression (29) shows that (i) the property ofobservability Gramian matrix depends on the output matrix119860 and state matrix 119862 accordingly the output energy can beaffected by properly choosing this matrix (ii) The propertyof controllability Gramian matrix depends on the controlmatrix 119860 and state matrix 119861 accordingly the control energycan be affected by properly choosing this matrix (iii) Whenthe system is only detectable the Gramian matrices will beonly some nonnegative definite matrices

In particular we can pose the problem seeking theminimum input energy (ie the control energy) that mustderive system (17) from the initial state 1199090 to a final state 119909119905119891at time 119905 = 119905119891 and this energy is defined by [34]

119869 = (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)Tsdot (119866119888 minus exp (119860119905119891)119866119888 exp (119860T119905119891))Tsdot (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)

(30)

Complexity 9

Clearly expression (30) shows that minimizing 119869 is thesame as maximizing the Gramian matrix 119866119888 Furthermoremaximizing the transmitted total energy (potential andkinetic energy) from the actuators to the structure for a giveninput energy it can be obtained as follows

119864 = intinfin0(119864119901 (119905) + 119864119896 (119905)) 119889119905 = intinfin

0119909 (119905) 119909T (119905) 119889119905 (31)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

with 1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 ge 0

(33)

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119896 ge 120590119896+1 = 120590119896+2 = sdot sdot sdot = 120590119896+119903gt 120590119896+119903+1 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 gt 0 (37)

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

1 (119905) = 119860111198911 (119905) + 119860121198912 (119905) + 1198611119906 (119905)2 (119905) = 119860211198911 (119905) + 119860221198912 (119905) + 1198612119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 11986211198911 (119905) + 11986221198912 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905)

119866119888 = 119866119900 = Σ(38)

where Σ = [(diag1205901 120590119896 120590119896+119903+1 120590119899 )2 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903] =(Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903) is the nonsingular and diagonal matrix The

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

In addition the existing series compensation ratio on theVietnamese 500 kV power system is considered to calculateand listed out in Table 1

41 Determine Feasible Locations The correctness of the pro-posed method for the optimal location of TCSC is verifiedon the small-signal analysis the dynamic model of TCSCis chosen as shown in Figure 4 [34] We suppose thecompensation capacity of TCSC is set to the range [075 12]of the uncompensated line The active power perturbationsignal in the line is considered as the input signal for theTCSC controller [51]The optimalmethod in [38] was used todetermine the parameters for the TCSC controller and theseparameters are listed in Table 2 [34]

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

PI = 119899119897sum119894=1

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

eigenvalues distribution of the system before and after usingbalanced reduction is plotted in Figure 8 Therefore thereduced system has 45 state variables which can fully meeteffects of the network to calculate the Gramian matrices

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

500220 kV system at maximum andor minimum load isconsidered For maximum load the transferred power onthe 500 kV system from the North and Central to the Southis very high Thus when the three-phase fault occurs onthe lines such as Vungang (VA)-Danang (DN) and PLeiku(PLei)-DiLinh (DL) the system lost serious stability The

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

3 The Proposed Approach

31 Gramian-Based Controllability and Observability Thesystem often has two properties controllability and observ-ability which play an important role regarding the determi-nation of the optimal location of TCSC in the power systemFrom that the input and output variables need to be used inorder to observe and control the system Therefore (16) canbe redescribed in a state-space form as follows

(119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119909 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (17)

where

119909(119905) is the state vector119910(119905) is the output vector119906(119905) is the input vector119860 is the state matrix119861 is the control matrix119862 is the output matrix119863 is the feed-forward matrix

311 Controllability

Definition 1 System (17) is controllable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states (1199090 1199091 isin R) there exists the input 119906(119905)[1199050 1199051] rarrR that drives the system from 1199090(1199050) to 1199091(1199051) thisis true the system is completely controllable despite the initialtime and state

Every actuator in the power systems is the energy thatcan be limited such that controllability matrix has been usedfor the purpose of dealing with the amount of input energyThis input energy is required to reach a given state fromthe origin The property of controllability of the system canbe described in a quantitative manner by the controllabilityfunction Typically it is defined for dynamic system as theminimum input energy that necessary drives the system fromstate 119909(minus119879) = 0 to state 119909(0) = 1199090 and can be given as [46]

119871119888 (1199090) = minimize119906isin1198712(minus1198790)

int0minus119879119906 (119905)2 119889119905

subject to (119905) = 119860119909 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119909 (minus119879) = 0119909 (0) = 1199090

(18)

It can be proven that the above system (17) has thetransient controllability function which is given as follows

119871119888 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119888 (119879) 1199090 (19)

Remark 2 For the real dynamic system 119871119888(1199090) is largeand the state 1199090 is difficult to reach Thus the system isuncontrollable

Remark 3 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable in the time range (1199050 1199051) if and only if thecontrollability matrix Δ defined as (20) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the controllabilitymatrixhas dimension 119899times119899119898 where119898 is the dimension of the inputvector 119906

Remark 4 Matrices 119860 and 119861 of the above system (17) arecontrollable if and only if the controllability Gramian matrix

312 Observability The system states are the internal vari-ables which are hard to directly measure but the outputscan be measured easily at the same time The observabilityproperty plays an important role in the analysis of optimallocation

Definition 5 System (17) is observable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states 1199090 1199091 isin R there exists the output 119910(119905)1199050 le 119905 le 1199051 lt infin assuming that the input 119906(119905) is known thisis true the system is observable despite the initial time andstate

The observability property of the system can be character-ized in a quantitative manner by the observability function Itis defined for dynamic system as output energy generated bythe state 119909(0) = 1199090 (when 119906 = 0) and is given as [46]

119906 equiv 0(22)

It can be proven that system (17) has the transientobservability function which is given as follows

119871119900 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119900 1199090 (23)

Remark 6 For the real dynamic system 119871119900(1199090)measures theeffect of the initial condition on the output if 119871119900(1199090) is smallthe effect of1199090 in the output is confined such that it is difficultto reach state 1199090 Thus the system is unobservable

Remark 7 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17)are observable in the interval [1199050 1199051] if and only if theobservability matrix nabla defined as (24) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the observability matrixhas dimension 119899119901times119899 where 119901 is the dimension of the outputvector 119910

Remark 8 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17) areobservable if and only if the observability Gramian matrix119866119900(119879) on horizon T defined as (25) has full rank 1198991015840 and ispositive definite

Formal remarks for controllability and observability arewhite and black In reality some states are very calamitousto control or have little effect on the outputs The degree ofobservability and controllability can be evaluated by the sizesof 119866119888 and 119866119900 with infinite time horizon

(27)

Notice that 119866119888 and 119866119900 satisfy the following differentialexpression

119889119866119888 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860119866119888 (0 119905) + 119866119888 (0 119905) 119860T + 119861119861T119889119866119900 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860T119866119900 (0 119905) + 119866119900 (0 119905) 119860 + 119862T119862

(28)

It is hard to directly calculate the Gramian matrices fromexpression (27) because they consist of an exponential matrixand an integral If all the eigenvalues of 119860 have strictlynegative real parts as 119879 rarr infin there exists an easier way tocalculate these matrices by solving the Lyapunov expression(29) below [47] which can be solved using MATLAB viagramThe obtained solutions are the unique positive definite

119860119866119888 + 119866119888119860T + 119861119861T = 0119860119879119866119900 + 119866119900119860 + 119862T119862 = 0 (29)

Obviously expression (29) shows that (i) the property ofobservability Gramian matrix depends on the output matrix119860 and state matrix 119862 accordingly the output energy can beaffected by properly choosing this matrix (ii) The propertyof controllability Gramian matrix depends on the controlmatrix 119860 and state matrix 119861 accordingly the control energycan be affected by properly choosing this matrix (iii) Whenthe system is only detectable the Gramian matrices will beonly some nonnegative definite matrices

In particular we can pose the problem seeking theminimum input energy (ie the control energy) that mustderive system (17) from the initial state 1199090 to a final state 119909119905119891at time 119905 = 119905119891 and this energy is defined by [34]

119869 = (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)Tsdot (119866119888 minus exp (119860119905119891)119866119888 exp (119860T119905119891))Tsdot (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)

Complexity 9

Clearly expression (30) shows that minimizing 119869 is thesame as maximizing the Gramian matrix 119866119888 Furthermoremaximizing the transmitted total energy (potential andkinetic energy) from the actuators to the structure for a giveninput energy it can be obtained as follows

119864 = intinfin0(119864119901 (119905) + 119864119896 (119905)) 119889119905 = intinfin

0119909 (119905) 119909T (119905) 119889119905 (31)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

119866119888 = 119866119900 =[[[[[[[

]]]]]]]

with 1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 ge 0

(33)

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119896 ge 120590119896+1 = 120590119896+2 = sdot sdot sdot = 120590119896+119903gt 120590119896+119903+1 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 gt 0 (37)

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

1 (119905) = 119860111198911 (119905) + 119860121198912 (119905) + 1198611119906 (119905)2 (119905) = 119860211198911 (119905) + 119860221198912 (119905) + 1198612119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 11986211198911 (119905) + 11986221198912 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905)

119866119888 = 119866119900 = Σ(38)

where Σ = [(diag1205901 120590119896 120590119896+119903+1 120590119899 )2 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903] =(Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903) is the nonsingular and diagonal matrix The

10 Complexity

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

eigenvalues distribution of the system before and after usingbalanced reduction is plotted in Figure 8 Therefore thereduced system has 45 state variables which can fully meeteffects of the network to calculate the Gramian matrices

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

312 Observability The system states are the internal vari-ables which are hard to directly measure but the outputscan be measured easily at the same time The observabilityproperty plays an important role in the analysis of optimallocation

Definition 5 System (17) is observable over the interval[1199050 1199051] if any states 1199090 1199091 isin R there exists the output 119910(119905)1199050 le 119905 le 1199051 lt infin assuming that the input 119906(119905) is known thisis true the system is observable despite the initial time andstate

The observability property of the system can be character-ized in a quantitative manner by the observability function Itis defined for dynamic system as output energy generated bythe state 119909(0) = 1199090 (when 119906 = 0) and is given as [46]

119871119900 (1199090) = 12 int0

119906 equiv 0(22)

It can be proven that system (17) has the transientobservability function which is given as follows

119871119900 (1199090) = 12119909T0119866minus1119900 1199090 (23)

Remark 6 For the real dynamic system 119871119900(1199090)measures theeffect of the initial condition on the output if 119871119900(1199090) is smallthe effect of1199090 in the output is confined such that it is difficultto reach state 1199090 Thus the system is unobservable

Remark 7 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17)are observable in the interval [1199050 1199051] if and only if theobservability matrix nabla defined as (24) has full rank 119899 where119899 is the number of states Notice that the observability matrixhas dimension 119899119901times119899 where 119901 is the dimension of the outputvector 119910

Remark 8 Matrices 119860 and 119862 of the above system (17) areobservable if and only if the observability Gramian matrix119866119900(119879) on horizon T defined as (25) has full rank 1198991015840 and ispositive definite

119866119900 (119879) = int1198790exp (119860T119905) 119862T119862 exp (119860119905) 119889119905 (25)

If system (17) is asymptotically stability around the originthe controllability and observability functions can be given by

119871119888 = minimize119906isin1198712(minusinfin0)119909(0)=1199090119909(minusinfin)=0

Formal remarks for controllability and observability arewhite and black In reality some states are very calamitousto control or have little effect on the outputs The degree ofobservability and controllability can be evaluated by the sizesof 119866119888 and 119866119900 with infinite time horizon

119866119888 (0infin) = lim119879rarrinfin

int1198790exp (119860119905) 119861119861T exp (119860T119905) 119889119905

(27)

Notice that 119866119888 and 119866119900 satisfy the following differentialexpression

119889119866119888 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860119866119888 (0 119905) + 119866119888 (0 119905) 119860T + 119861119861T119889119866119900 (0 119905)119889119905 = 119860T119866119900 (0 119905) + 119866119900 (0 119905) 119860 + 119862T119862

(28)

It is hard to directly calculate the Gramian matrices fromexpression (27) because they consist of an exponential matrixand an integral If all the eigenvalues of 119860 have strictlynegative real parts as 119879 rarr infin there exists an easier way tocalculate these matrices by solving the Lyapunov expression(29) below [47] which can be solved using MATLAB viagramThe obtained solutions are the unique positive definite

119860119866119888 + 119866119888119860T + 119861119861T = 0119860119879119866119900 + 119866119900119860 + 119862T119862 = 0 (29)

Obviously expression (29) shows that (i) the property ofobservability Gramian matrix depends on the output matrix119860 and state matrix 119862 accordingly the output energy can beaffected by properly choosing this matrix (ii) The propertyof controllability Gramian matrix depends on the controlmatrix 119860 and state matrix 119861 accordingly the control energycan be affected by properly choosing this matrix (iii) Whenthe system is only detectable the Gramian matrices will beonly some nonnegative definite matrices

In particular we can pose the problem seeking theminimum input energy (ie the control energy) that mustderive system (17) from the initial state 1199090 to a final state 119909119905119891at time 119905 = 119905119891 and this energy is defined by [34]

119869 = (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)Tsdot (119866119888 minus exp (119860119905119891)119866119888 exp (119860T119905119891))Tsdot (exp (119860119905119891) 1199090 minus 119909119905119891)

Complexity 9

Clearly expression (30) shows that minimizing 119869 is thesame as maximizing the Gramian matrix 119866119888 Furthermoremaximizing the transmitted total energy (potential andkinetic energy) from the actuators to the structure for a giveninput energy it can be obtained as follows

119864 = intinfin0(119864119901 (119905) + 119864119896 (119905)) 119889119905 = intinfin

0119909 (119905) 119909T (119905) 119889119905 (31)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

119866119888 = 119866119900 =[[[[[[[

with 1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 ge 0

(33)

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

1 (119905) = 119860111198911 (119905) + 119860121198912 (119905) + 1198611119906 (119905)2 (119905) = 119860211198911 (119905) + 119860221198912 (119905) + 1198612119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 11986211198911 (119905) + 11986221198912 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905)

119866119888 = 119866119900 = Σ(38)

where Σ = [(diag1205901 120590119896 120590119896+119903+1 120590119899 )2 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903] =(Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903) is the nonsingular and diagonal matrix The

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

Finally End

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

In addition the existing series compensation ratio on theVietnamese 500 kV power system is considered to calculateand listed out in Table 1

41 Determine Feasible Locations The correctness of the pro-posed method for the optimal location of TCSC is verifiedon the small-signal analysis the dynamic model of TCSCis chosen as shown in Figure 4 [34] We suppose thecompensation capacity of TCSC is set to the range [075 12]of the uncompensated line The active power perturbationsignal in the line is considered as the input signal for theTCSC controller [51]The optimalmethod in [38] was used todetermine the parameters for the TCSC controller and theseparameters are listed in Table 2 [34]

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

500220 kV system at maximum andor minimum load isconsidered For maximum load the transferred power onthe 500 kV system from the North and Central to the Southis very high Thus when the three-phase fault occurs onthe lines such as Vungang (VA)-Danang (DN) and PLeiku(PLei)-DiLinh (DL) the system lost serious stability The

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Scenario Number 1 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kVDN-VA of circuit 1 close to the bus 500 kVDN and is cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

Page 9: Improving Power System Stability with Gramian Matrix-Based

Complexity 9

Clearly expression (30) shows that minimizing 119869 is thesame as maximizing the Gramian matrix 119866119888 Furthermoremaximizing the transmitted total energy (potential andkinetic energy) from the actuators to the structure for a giveninput energy it can be obtained as follows

119864 = intinfin0(119864119901 (119905) + 119864119896 (119905)) 119889119905 = intinfin

0119909 (119905) 119909T (119905) 119889119905 (31)

where 119864119896 is the kinetic energy and 119864119901 is the potential energyIn this paper we suppose that the input is aDirac impulse thatexcites all frequencies and 119909(119905) = exp(119860119905)119861 is the impulsematrix Hence the obtained energy is the weighted trace ofcontrollability Gramian [34 48]

119864 = trace (119866119888) = 119899sum119894=1

120590119894 (32)

where 120590119894 is the 119894th Hankel singular value The decompositionof this value denotes spatial energy decomposition containedin the impulse response The sum of the singular valuesdenotes the energy total in which each of the singular valuerepresents the energy in a particular direction The optimallocation is determined based on themaximization of the totalenergy of the system at the fault clearing timeTherefore (32)is a basis for selecting optimal control input

32 Hankel-Norm Method In order to compute easilywe focus on analyzing the infinite horizon Gramian TheGramian matrices are computed by using expression (29)rather than solving expressions (21) and (25) However it maybe more difficult for analyzing the Vietnamese power systembecause that is a large-scale networkWith such networks thenumber of state variables could be big leading to lost timefor computing In reality determining the optimal locationwe just need the number of major state variables that playan important role in order to analyze the linear system onthe small-signal stability Therefore in order to solve thisproblem the order reduction method is applied based onthe computation of controllability and observability Gramianmatrices introduced in [36]

321 Balanced Realization Considering system (17) in orderto make effect for this study the so-called similarity trans-formation 119872 must need to modify the state variables andmatrices of the system but the output and input behaviorsremain unchanged such that the controllability and observ-ability Gramian matrices satisfy the following

119866119888 = 119866119900 =[[[[[[[

1205901 0 0 sdot sdot sdot 00 1205902 0 sdot sdot sdot 0 d

]]]]]]]

with 1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 ge 0

(33)

The so-called similarity transformation transforms thecontrollability and observability Gramian matrices in thefollowing way

119866119888 = 119872119866119888119872T119866119900 = (119872minus1)T 119866119888119872minus1 (34)

However the result turns out to be the invariant outputand input behaviors that is119872119866119888119872T = (119872minus1)T119866119888119872minus1 (ieit relates to the Gramian of the original system by119872)

Expression (34) constructs a state-space transformationthat is considered with the form 119891(119905) = 119872119909(119905) substitutingthis state-space transformation into (17) the new system canbe obtained

(119905) = 119860119891 (119905) + 119861119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 119862119891 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905) (35)

where 119860 = 119872119860119872minus1 119861 = 119872119861 119862 = 119862119872minus1 119863 = 119863Therefore system (35) is a balanced form according to thegiven nonsingular transformation matrix 119872 to change thesystem in such a way that the controllability and observabilityGramian matrices satisfy the following condition

119866119888 = 119866119900 = diag 1205901 1205901 120590119899 1205901 ge 1205901 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 (36)

in which 1205901 1205902 120590119899 are real and positive numberscalled the Hankel singular values and the transformationmatrix is determined by using the algorithm [47] as shownin the Appendix

322 Order Reduction Realization After obtaining the newsystem in a balanced form as shown in (35) the orderreduction can be performed The first step is to choose theorder of 119896 based on the purposes of reduction The author in[36] has considered general situation that theHankel singularvalues satisfy the condition that is

1205901 ge 1205902 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119896 ge 120590119896+1 = 120590119896+2 = sdot sdot sdot = 120590119896+119903gt 120590119896+119903+1 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120590119899 gt 0 (37)

In this study the system reduction is performed byeliminating all state variables corresponding to the Hankelsingular values that are smaller than 10minus3 Therefore thesystem can be converted to the following order reductionform

1 (119905) = 119860111198911 (119905) + 119860121198912 (119905) + 1198611119906 (119905)2 (119905) = 119860211198911 (119905) + 119860221198912 (119905) + 1198612119906 (119905) 119910 (119905) = 11986211198911 (119905) + 11986221198912 (119905) + 119863119906 (119905)

119866119888 = 119866119900 = Σ(38)

where Σ = [(diag1205901 120590119896 120590119896+119903+1 120590119899 )2 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903] =(Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903) is the nonsingular and diagonal matrix The

10 Complexity

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

33 Algorithm The main objective is to dampen the activepower and generator angle oscillations in the power system

when the active power perturbation occurs in the transmis-sion line The proposed algorithm is used to determine theoptimal location of TCSC based on the Gramian criticalenergy and the flowchart of the algorithm is shown inFigure 5 The principles and details have been presented inSections 31 and 32 and below is the interpretation

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

Finally End

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

In addition the existing series compensation ratio on theVietnamese 500 kV power system is considered to calculateand listed out in Table 1

41 Determine Feasible Locations The correctness of the pro-posed method for the optimal location of TCSC is verifiedon the small-signal analysis the dynamic model of TCSCis chosen as shown in Figure 4 [34] We suppose thecompensation capacity of TCSC is set to the range [075 12]of the uncompensated line The active power perturbationsignal in the line is considered as the input signal for theTCSC controller [51]The optimalmethod in [38] was used todetermine the parameters for the TCSC controller and theseparameters are listed in Table 2 [34]

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

10 Complexity

vectors 1198911(119905) and 1198912(119905) are obtained by decomposing the statevariable 119891(119905) (ie 119891(119905) = [1198911(119905)1198912(119905)]T) and have dimensions119899 minus 119903 and 119903 respectively Ψ119903 is the identity matrix and hasdimension 119903Thematrices (11986011 11986012 11986021 11986022)2times2 (1198611 1198612)1times2and (1198621 1198622)2times1 are respectively partitioned from matrices119860 119861 and 119862 in balanced system (35) corresponding to thepartitioned Gramian

If the number of inputs is more than that of outputs (theso-called all-pass dilation of the system) then 119860 119861 119862 and119863 are replaced by 119860T 119861T 119862T and 119863T respectively [49]Thus the components for the so-called all-pass dilation of thesystem are defined as follows

= Σminus1 (1205902119896+1119860T11 + Σ111986011Σ1 minus 120590119896+1119862T

1119880119861T1) = Σminus1 (Σ11198611 + 120590119896+1119862T

1119880) = 1198621Σ1 + 120590119896+1119880119861T1 = 119863 minus 120590119896+1119880

Σ = Σ21 minus 1205902119896+1Ψ119903

(39)

where 119880 is a unitary matrix and is solution of the followingexpression

1198612 + 119862T2119880 = 0 (40)

According to the conclusion in [49] the all-pass dilationof the system might be unstable The final step is to computethe stable part of the all-pass dilation of the systems 10158401015840 1015840 and 1015840 based on the Hankel-norm method As weconsider a system that the number of inputs is more thanthe number of outputs matrices 1015840 1015840 1015840 and 1015840 can bereplaced by 1015840T 1015840T 1015840T and 1015840T based on the followingerror of approximation

1003817100381710038171003817119879 (119904) minus 119879119896 (119904)1003817100381710038171003817infin = 120590119896+1 (41)

where119879(119904) and119879119896(119904) are the transfer functions of the originaland the 119896th-order reduced systems

Clearly expression (41) shows that the largest error for allfrequencies is equal to theHankel singular value 119896+1 It allowsus to select a suitable value of 119896Therefore the matrices of thereduced system are obtained as follows

119860119896 = 1015840119861119896 = 1015840119862119896 = 1015840119863119896 = 1015840

33 Algorithm The main objective is to dampen the activepower and generator angle oscillations in the power system

when the active power perturbation occurs in the transmis-sion line The proposed algorithm is used to determine theoptimal location of TCSC based on the Gramian criticalenergy and the flowchart of the algorithm is shown inFigure 5 The principles and details have been presented inSections 31 and 32 and below is the interpretation

First Start

Step 1 Place the TCSC controller in the line 119894th (119894 = 1 23 119899)Step 2 Run steady state

Step 3 Generate the active power perturbation signal inthe transmission line 119895th (119895 = 1 2 3 119898) in which 119898is large enough For each contingency of the active powerperturbation 119895 the observed output 120592119895 and control input 120585119895were analyzed

Step 4 Compute the matrices 119860 119861 and 119862 corresponding tothe placement 119894 and the active power perturbation signal 119895Step 5 Perform the order reduction for system based on theHankel-norm method

Step 6 Estimate the stable condition based on the statematrix (119860119896)119894119895 to exclude the unstable cases If the conditionis satisfied Step 6 will be performed and vice versa Step 1will be iterated

Step 7 Compute the controllability Gramian matrix of thenew system (after performing the order reduction) corre-sponding to the active power perturbation signal 119895thStep 8 Iterate the steps from 2 to 7 for computing a set of theactive power perturbations (119895 = 1 2 3 119898)Step 9 Compute the energy for each placement corre-sponding to a set of the active power perturbations (119895 =1 2 3 119898)Step 10 Iterate the steps from 1 to 7 to calculate all thelocations (119894 = 1 2 3 119899)Step 11 Compare the maximum total energy to evaluate theoptimal placement for TCSC controller

Finally End

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

In addition the existing series compensation ratio on theVietnamese 500 kV power system is considered to calculateand listed out in Table 1

41 Determine Feasible Locations The correctness of the pro-posed method for the optimal location of TCSC is verifiedon the small-signal analysis the dynamic model of TCSCis chosen as shown in Figure 4 [34] We suppose thecompensation capacity of TCSC is set to the range [075 12]of the uncompensated line The active power perturbationsignal in the line is considered as the input signal for theTCSC controller [51]The optimalmethod in [38] was used todetermine the parameters for the TCSC controller and theseparameters are listed in Table 2 [34]

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

PI = 119899119897sum119894=1

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

eigenvalues distribution of the system before and after usingbalanced reduction is plotted in Figure 8 Therefore thereduced system has 45 state variables which can fully meeteffects of the network to calculate the Gramian matrices

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

In addition the existing series compensation ratio on theVietnamese 500 kV power system is considered to calculateand listed out in Table 1

41 Determine Feasible Locations The correctness of the pro-posed method for the optimal location of TCSC is verifiedon the small-signal analysis the dynamic model of TCSCis chosen as shown in Figure 4 [34] We suppose thecompensation capacity of TCSC is set to the range [075 12]of the uncompensated line The active power perturbationsignal in the line is considered as the input signal for theTCSC controller [51]The optimalmethod in [38] was used todetermine the parameters for the TCSC controller and theseparameters are listed in Table 2 [34]

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

PI = 119899119897sum119894=1

)2120599 (43)

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

eigenvalues distribution of the system before and after usingbalanced reduction is plotted in Figure 8 Therefore thereduced system has 45 state variables which can fully meeteffects of the network to calculate the Gramian matrices

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

500220 kV system at maximum andor minimum load isconsidered For maximum load the transferred power onthe 500 kV system from the North and Central to the Southis very high Thus when the three-phase fault occurs onthe lines such as Vungang (VA)-Danang (DN) and PLeiku(PLei)-DiLinh (DL) the system lost serious stability The

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Scenario Number 1 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kVDN-VA of circuit 1 close to the bus 500 kVDN and is cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

about 40703MWThe power system simulation engineering(PSSE) program is used to analyze the transient and small-signal stability and MATLAB is used to calculate Gramianmatrices and perform order reduction All dynamic modelssuch as generators excitation systems transmission linesand loads are modeled by using PSSE (from dynamic modellibrary) [50] and all dynamic parameters are taken from [2]and the Vietnamese national load dispatch center (NLDC)The single-line diagram and the result of load flow calculationof the 500 kV voltage level are given in Figure 2

The optimal placement of TCSC in the Vietnamesenetwork is determined based on (i) a combination of the con-trollability Gramian critical energy with the order reductionmethod on the small-signal stability analysis applied to searchfor several feasible locations (ii) the transient stability anal-ysis performed to compare and determine optimal locationsthrough various simulation cases

In addition the existing series compensation ratio on theVietnamese 500 kV power system is considered to calculateand listed out in Table 1

41 Determine Feasible Locations The correctness of the pro-posed method for the optimal location of TCSC is verifiedon the small-signal analysis the dynamic model of TCSCis chosen as shown in Figure 4 [34] We suppose thecompensation capacity of TCSC is set to the range [075 12]of the uncompensated line The active power perturbationsignal in the line is considered as the input signal for theTCSC controller [51]The optimalmethod in [38] was used todetermine the parameters for the TCSC controller and theseparameters are listed in Table 2 [34]

The studied contingency cases of active power perturba-tion were selected from single-line outage cases on the basisof the real power flow performance index (PI) introduced in[36] as follows

PI = 119899119897sum119894=1

where 119875119897119894 and 119875max119897119894 are the real power and rated power flow

of the line 119894 respectively 120599 is the exponent and 120592119894 is a the realnonnegative weighting factor for line 119894 In this study the valueof the exponent was selected as 20 and 10 is the value of 120592119894

Observing from (43) that all the power flows in the linesare within their limits PI is small and vice versa it reachesout a high value when there are overloads The studiedcontingency cases are listed in Table 3 by using (43) thiscorresponds to the active power perturbation signal in theline of the Vietnamese network

The Vietnamese 500220 kV power system created thestate matrix (119860) having dimension [2371 times 2371] that corre-sponds with 179 generator units By performing the equiv-alence of 179 generator units into 45 equivalent generatorunits the state matrix now has dimension [515 times 515] ATCSC controller has three states as the transducer washoutand leadlag added in the system Therefore the state matrixdimension of the equivalent power system model is [518 times518]

Once again the state matrix of the system is reduced thedimension by applying the balanced order reduction methodto eliminate the singular values that are smaller than 10minus3Figure 6 shows the eigenvalue of the system state matrixbefore and after using balanced reductionTherefore the statematrix (11986011) of the new system has the dimension [45 times 45]

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

eigenvalues distribution of the system before and after usingbalanced reduction is plotted in Figure 8 Therefore thereduced system has 45 state variables which can fully meeteffects of the network to calculate the Gramian matrices

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

Scenario Number 2 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV PLei-DL close to the bus 500 kV Plei andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Scenario Number 3 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV TD-CB close to the bus 500 kV TD andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Scenario Number 4 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV TT-NQ close to the bus 500 kV NQ andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the systembefore and after using balanced reduction Obviously theinput-output behaviors of the system in both cases at thebandwidth range from 10minusinfin to 105 are the same with thesame control signal The bandwidth has a range from 105 to10infin the frequency response of the reduced system is flat(a straight line) since its order is smaller than the originalsystem Therefore we can conclude that two systems areequivalent in terms of the input-output behaviors

Figure 8 shows the Hankel singular values after perform-ing the balanced realization reduction technique It can beobserved from this figure that the 45 Hankel singular valueshave been finally retained in comparison with the 2374 statevariables of the original system (including state variables ofTCSC controller) This acquired singular values are smallerthan the chosen threshold 10minus3 (choice of this study) The

The controllability Gramian energy indices were deter-mined based on the proposed algorithm as shown in Sec-tion 33 and the active power perturbation signals in the lineas listed in Table 3 when the transient horizon is equal toinfinity (119879 = infin) are given in Table 4 in which we onlygive several feasible locations having the high total energyvalue From this table it can be seen that the line PLei-CBis the suitable location for TCSC controller because it hasthe maximum total energy value it means that the energyneeded to drive the controllable state variables is smaller thanother cases Therefore the line between buses PLei and CB isconsidered as the best location to install the TCSC controller

42 Retest Transient Stability To verify the effectiveness ofthe proposed method several dynamic cases are analyzedbased on the transient stability to compare the suitablelocation (the line between buses PLei and CB) and otherfeasible ones (as shown in Table 4) The optimal locationof the TCSC controller is determined based on the rotorangle oscillation damping of the generator units having thelarge output power and the active power damping of thetransmission line In addition the power distribution on

500220 kV system at maximum andor minimum load isconsidered For maximum load the transferred power onthe 500 kV system from the North and Central to the Southis very high Thus when the three-phase fault occurs onthe lines such as Vungang (VA)-Danang (DN) and PLeiku(PLei)-DiLinh (DL) the system lost serious stability The

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Scenario Number 1 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kVDN-VA of circuit 1 close to the bus 500 kVDN and is cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

500220 kV system at maximum andor minimum load isconsidered For maximum load the transferred power onthe 500 kV system from the North and Central to the Southis very high Thus when the three-phase fault occurs onthe lines such as Vungang (VA)-Danang (DN) and PLeiku(PLei)-DiLinh (DL) the system lost serious stability The

three-phase fault scenarios are considered in this study aslisted in Table 5 and can be summarized briefly as follows

Scenario Number 1 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kVDN-VA of circuit 1 close to the bus 500 kVDN and is cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Scenario Number 2 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV PLei-DL close to the bus 500 kV Plei andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Scenario Number 3 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV TD-CB close to the bus 500 kV TD andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Scenario Number 4 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV TT-NQ close to the bus 500 kV NQ andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

improved compared with that in the two another locationsThis could easily be construed from Table 4 the total energyvalue when TCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB is thelarger

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

Case 5 Also for comparison of the other locations thesimulation for this case was done on scenario number 2

supposing that the system has been operating at minimumload Figure 13 plots the transient response of the systemFor maximum load the transferred power on the 500 kVsystem from theNorth region to the South region is very highConsequently the amplitude deviation of the generator rotor

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

Case number Fault is nearly bus Line outage(1) 500 kV DN 500 kV DN-VA(2) 500 kV Plei 500 kV PLei-DL(3) 500 kV CB 500 kV TD-CB(4) 500 kV NQ 500 kV NQ-TT

Scenario Number 2 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV PLei-DL close to the bus 500 kV Plei andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Scenario Number 3 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV TD-CB close to the bus 500 kV TD andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Scenario Number 4 A solid three-phase fault occurs at 1 secon the line 500 kV TT-NQ close to the bus 500 kV NQ andis cleared after 015 sec by tripping the faulted line

Case 1 The simulation was done on scenario number 1 basedon the relative angle oscillations of generator supposingthat the system has been operating at maximum load inorder to compare the difference locations of TCSC (thatare on the lines PLei-CB and PLei-TM) and without TCSCFigure 9 plots the relative angle oscillations of generatorsof Yaly PhuMy-3 VinhTan and QuangNinh Figures 9(a)ndash9(c) show the TCSC placed in the line PLei-CB the angleoscillations of generators Yaly PhuMy-3 and VinhTan aredamped out in about 6 sec compared to that in the line PLei-TM and without TCSC controller In particular it can beobserved from Figure 9(d) that the oscillations of generatorQuangNinh are damped out faster than the case when theTCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 2 The simulation of this case was done on scenarionumber 2 based on the active power of the line and the relativeangle oscillations of generators to compare the suitablelocation of TCSC and other feasible locations as NQ-HTand DN-VA In this case the system has been operating atmaximum load Observing from Figure 10 TCSC is placedin the line PLei-CB the transient response is significantly

improved compared with that in the two another locationsThis could easily be construed from Table 4 the total energyvalue when TCSC is placed in the line PLei-CB is thelarger

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

value Figure 11(e) shows the response of TCSC controllerit can be observed in this figure that the TCSC has injectedthe reactance to the grid during the period of fault and thatthe best influence is obtained in terms of reactive power flowoutput of TCSC when it is placed in the line PLei-CB

Case 4 Observing from Table 4 the highest total energyvalue was obtained on the electric power supply system inthe Northern region corresponding to the TCSC controllerplaced in the line NQ-HT Contrarily in this controllerplaced in the line Plei-CB the highest total energy valuewas obtained on the electric power supply system in theSouthern region This simulation case was done on scenarionumber 4 to compare two locations having the highest totalenergy value at two regions In this case we suppose that thesystem has been operating at maximum load Figure 12 plotsthe relative angle oscillations of generators QuangNinh andVinhTan Evidently it can be observed from this figure thatTCSC is placed in line PLei-CB oscillations are damped fastercompared to placement in the line NQ-HT despite the far

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

Case 3 From Table 4 it can be seen that the other feasiblelocations (DakN-CB and PLei-DL) have the second and thirdhighest total energy values respectivelyThe third simulationwas carried out for scenario number 3 to compare thesefeasible locations with the suitable location (PLei-CB) Inthis case the system is considered as operating at maximumload Figure 11 plots the system response as the relative angleoscillations of generators (VinhTan and DuyenHai) and theactive power oscillations in the lines (HaTinh-VungAng andPLeilu-ThanhMy) It can be observed from Figures 11(a)ndash11(d) that with TCSC placed in the line between PLei andCB the oscillations are damped faster compared with twoother instances Evidently the effect is obtained in terms ofoscillation damping from other two feasible locations to bethe same because they have the same value of total energy

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

Case 5 Also for comparison of the other locations thesimulation for this case was done on scenario number 2

supposing that the system has been operating at minimumload Figure 13 plots the transient response of the systemFor maximum load the transferred power on the 500 kVsystem from theNorth region to the South region is very highConsequently the amplitude deviation of the generator rotor

Complexity 19

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems

angle and active power oscillations is very large Howeverfor minimum load this deviation is negligible but it is stillaccordant with the proposed method It could be seen fromFigure 13 that the best effect is obtained in terms of oscillationdamping of the generator rotor angle of SonLa and theactive power in the lines of NhoQuan-SonLa and HaTinh-VungAng

5 Conclusions

In this paper a relevant stochastic method for the optimalplacement of TCSC controller has been presented to enhancethe rotor angle stability and dampen the power systemoscillations in the multimachine systems This proposedmethod is developed from the energy approach based onthe controllability and observability Gramian matrices ofthe linearized multimachine systemsThe optimal placementdepends on the trace indices of the Gramian matrices thathave been calculated on the active power perturbation in theline of the network (for this study the applied network is theVietnamese 500220 kV power system)

Theoptimal placement for TCSC controller is determinedbased on the Gramian critical energy values that have beencalculated on the small-signal stability analysis However theacquired results showed that the power system could operateperfectly under the influence of the transient conditions

The time-domain simulation results on the transientstability analysis show that the rotor angle oscillations of gen-erator and the power oscillations in the line are significantlydampened when the TCSC is placed in the line betweenPLeiku and CauBong which has the maximum total energyvalue

The Gramian-based reduction method has been alsointroduced for the purpose of reducing the calculation timeof the Gramian critical energy when dealing with the large-scale power systems
