Analysis of Voltage Stability of Electrical Power Network and its

improvement using Distributed Generation

Abstract

The voltage instability phenomenon is generally predicted to occur when a system is operating with a
large load. The voltage stability problem can be mitigated by increasing the use of distributed generation
and connecting them to the distribution or sub-transmission networks. The aim of this research work will
be an overall investigation of how the penetration of distributed generation in low-voltage secondary
distribution networks or sub-transmission networks affects voltage stability. It is very much important
that the voltage collapse point be carefully calculated under different operating state of the network to
avoid degradation of service. System components can be sophisticatedly modeled with the help of some
application software. DGs will be allocated in a probabilistic manner to account for uncertainties in
future allocation. Soft computing analysis will also be applied for the allocation of DGs. For getting
realistic results a large number of system states under both light and peak load conditions will also be
considered.

Security of Power System and Control Strategies

Abstract

Present civilization is progressively more dependent on critical infrastructures of electrical power

network. Management of such a complicated electrical power network is based on computerized control
and telecommunications. With the additional dependence on communications networks comes an extra
exposure to cyber security threats. The aim of this research work is to develop different methods for
estimating the current state of Smart Grid cyber security. Also different control strategies will also be
developed in the energy control center (ECC) in modern days smart grid scenario to protect the electrical
power networks from cyber attacks.
