A coordinated controller for generator excitation and STATCOMs is studied based on the Hamiltonian function method. The Hamiltonian realization structure for multimachine power systems including STATCOMs is developed leading to a proposed coordinated scheme of excitation control and STATCOM control. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

This paper discusses a novel approach for damping interarea oscillations in a bulk power network using multiple unified power flow controllers (UPFCs) utilizing ultracapacitors, also known more generally as electrochemical capacitors (ECs). In this paper, a new control is introduced to mitigate interarea oscillations by directly controlling the UPFCs' sending and receiving bus voltages that better utilizes the stored energy in the ECs. The results of this controller are compared with and without ECs. The proposed control provides better interarea oscillation mitigation when applied to multiple UPFCs in the 118-bus IEEE test system.
