This thesis proposes a method and develops a mathematical model for determining the effects of hydro power plants’ governor settings on the Turkish power system frequency. The Turkish power system suffers from frequency oscillations with 20 30 seconds period. Besides various negative effects on power plants and customers, these frequency oscillations are one of the most important obstacles before the interconnection of the Turkish power system with the UCTE (Union for the Coordination of Transmission of Electricity) network. Taking observations of the system operators and statistical studies as an initial point, the effects of hydro power plants’ governor settings on the Turkish power system frequency are investigated. In order to perform system wide simulations, initially mathematical models for two major hydro power plants and their stability margins are determined. Utilizing this information a representative power system model is developed. After validation studies, the effects of hydro power plants’ governor settings on the Turkish power system frequency are investigated. Further computer simulations are performed to determine possible effects of changing settings and structure of HPP governors to system frequency stability. Finally, further factors that may have negative effects on frequency oscillations are discussed. The results of study are presented throughout the thesis and summarized in the “Conclusion and Future Work” chapter.

Continuation power flow and voltage stability in power systems
Keskin, Mehmet B; Ertaş, Arif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This thesis investigates an important power system phenomenon, voltage stability, by using continuation power flow method. Voltage collapse scenario is presented which can be a serious result of voltage instability and the parameters that affect voltage collapse are discussed. In analyzing power system voltage stability, continuation power flow method is utilized which consists of successive load flows. This method is applied to a sample test system and Turkish Power System and load-voltage curves for sever...
OPTIMAL CONTROLLER DESIGN FOR SPEED GOVERNORS OF HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT
Altinoz, Okkes Tolga; KOŞALAY, İLHAN; Gezer, Derya (VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, 2020-06-01)
Speed governors have critical importance on hydroelectric power plants, which are adjusted to the rotating speed of hydroelectric generation based on load demand of the grid. The rotating speed is the main factor to balance power generation and load demand. The well-designed controller is needed to control speed governors with high accuracy. A well-defined model is needed to obtain desired control structure. Therefore, in this study, initially, the mathematical model of a hydroelectric power plant is obtain...
Design of an educational purpose multifunctional dc/dc converter board
Bağlan, Fuat Onur; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In this thesis a multifunctional DC/DC converter board will be developed for utilization as an educational experiment set in the switched-mode power conversion laboratory of power electronic courses. The board has a generic power-pole structure allowing for easy configuration of various power converter topologies and includes buck, boost, buck-boost, flyback, and forward converter topologies. All the converters can be operated in the open-loop control mode with a switching frequency range of 30-100 kHz and ...
Impact of high-level distributed generation penetration on the transmission system transient stability
Kurt, Burçak; Ertaş, Arif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
This thesis investigates the impact of high-level penetration of distributed generation especially from the renewable energy sources on the transient stability of the transmission system. Distributed generation is a source of electric power connected to the distribution network or on the consumer side. It is expected that distributed generation grows significantly by the increasing environmental concerns and deregulation in the market. As soon as the increasing penetration level, distributed generation star...
Design and implementation of a current source converter based active power filter for medium voltage applications
Terciyanlı, Alper; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This research work is devoted to the design, development and implementation of a Current Source Converter (CSC) based Active Power Filter (APF) for Medium Voltage (MV) applications. A new approach has been proposed to the design of the CSC based APF for reducing the converter kVA rating considerably. This design approach is called the Selective Harmonic Amplification Method (SHAM), and is based on the amplification of some selected harmoniccurrent components of the CSC by the input filter, and the CSC contr...
