Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Method of designing a static synchronous compensator based on passivity-based control." This invention presents a novel nonlinear control method for designing Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM). The approach utilizes passivity-based control to create a robust nonlinear STATCOM controller. The mathematical model of STATCOM is represented by an Euler-Lagrange (EL) system, and the dynamics of the power system are analyzed using the Park's transformation. The model retains energy-dissipative properties and considers the dynamic response of changing loads. The passivity-based control employs energy shaping and damping injection techniques to generate appropriate control signals for Voltage Source Converters, enhancing the robustness and stability of the system.
Another significant patent is the "Method for calculating power flow solution of a power transmission network that includes interline power flow controller (IPFC)." This patent studies power flow models of IPFCs for large-scale power systems. It derives mathematical models using d-q axis decompositions of control parameters. The framework allows for the addition of only two control parameters to the unknown vector in the iteration formula, preserving the quadratic convergence characteristic. Simulation results from practical large-scale power systems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed models, highlighting their performance compared to existing models.
