Chapter 1Introduction

Preece, Robin

Pages: 1 –29

[This thesis investigates the effects that High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) lines and multi-terminal grids have on power system small-disturbance stability in the presence of operational uncertainties. Power systems are increasingly operated closer to stability boundaries in order to improve...

Chapter 2Power System Modelling and Analysis Techniques

Preece, Robin

Pages: 31 –61

[This chapter provides the basis of the power system modelling and analysis techniques used within this thesis. It further presents the mathematical descriptions of power system components and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems. Following this, the way in which power systems are...

Chapter 3The Effects of HVDC Lines on Power System Stability

Preece, Robin

Pages: 63 –95

[An extensive analysis of the effects of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems on the small-disturbance stability of power systems is presented within this chapter. Initial comparisons are made between different HVDC technologies, assessing the impact of their placement and power transfer on...

Chapter 4Assessing the Robustness of Controllers

Preece, Robin

Pages: 97 –116

[The need for a thorough evaluation of supplementary power oscillation damping controllers is outlined at the beginning of this chapter. Following this, a methodology for the robust probabilistic evaluation of damping controller performance is presented. This method considers not only the...

Chapter 5Modal Estimation Using the Probabilistic Collocation Method

Preece, Robin

Pages: 117 –140

[This chapter presents the Probabilistic Collocation Method (PCM) for probabilistic small-disturbance analysis. The PCM significantly reduces the number of simulations required to complete a probabilistic system assessment whilst still accurately producing the statistical distributions of...

Chapter 6Probabilistic Tuning of Damping Controllers

Preece, Robin

Pages: 141 –160

[Within this chapter the idea of a probabilistic power system representation is introduced as a method to more accurately account for the statistical variation in critical system modes. This probabilistic model is then used during the design of a supplementary Power Oscillation Damping (POD)...

Chapter 7Conclusions and Future Work

Preece, Robin

Pages: 161 –165

[In this chapter the main conclusions of the research are discussed and suggestions are made for the future development and improvement of the presented methodologies.]
