PSS, FACTS, ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR INCREASING POWER SYSTEMS STABILITY

Abstract

Recent developments and advances in energy storage and power electronics technologies are making the application of energy storage technologies a viable solution for modern power applications. Viable storage technologies include batteries, flywheels, ultra capacitors, and superconducting energy storage systems. Although several of these technologies were initially envisioned for large-scale load leveling applications, energy storage is now seen more as a tool to enhance system stability, aid power transfer, and improve power quality in power systems.
