Article Preview

Abstract:

This research developed a performance improvement of power transmission system to enhance performance during line disturbance using model Predictive control (MPC) control scheme. This research work was implemented using MATLAB 2023a. However, the parameters of these controllers are usually adjusted based on a linearized model of the power system, which typically depends on the system's operating point or state. To assess the performance of the developed scheme, multiple simulation studies were carried out under conditions where the voltage magnitude of the infinite bus and the transmission line reactance changed due to faults at the infinite bus and sending terminals. The results from the waveform analyses indicate that the dynamic characteristics of the system under investigation have significantly improved. settling time, at post fault of the transmission and from fault recovery settled time to its stable state value of 1.8sec compared to 2.8sec with minimal control effort that fluctuated between faults and system stability before settling time at the shortest time value of 2. 6305s in 2.42s compared to 4.28, in 1.92s compared, and 3.32s.
