Heuristic Based Approach for Voltage Stability Improvement using FACTS Devices
The aim of this paper is to develop a hybrid device for voltage stability enhancement using two kinds of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) namely SVC (Static Var Compensator) and TCSC (Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor). The idea behind the proposed method is to maintain safe and satisfactory power system operation in a lesser costing manner…
Read More Mitigating Congestion in Restructured Power System using FACTS Allocation by Sensitivity Factors and Parameter Optimized by GWO
In modern deregulated power industry, private sector has invested a lot to supply for extended power demand using the preexisting power system framework. This resulted into increased loading of transmission lines which has to work now to hit their thermal limits. The overloading of transmission line resulted in congestion and hence increase in loss of…
Read More Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithm Performance Comparison for Optimal Allocation of Static Synchronous Compensator
The relevance of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) controllers in controlling power network parameters is causing them to be included in contemporary networks. But for the intended objectives to be attained, the best device positioning and parameter settings are essential. This work compares the performance of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and firefly algorithm (FA) in…
Read More Transient Stability Enhancement of a Power System Considering Integration of FACT Controllers Through Network Structural Characteristics Theory
Modern power systems are topologically and structurally complicated due to their complex interconnections. Consequently, the complexity of the dynamic stability assessment be-comes more tedious, most especially, when considering a power electronics-based power system operating under faulty conditions. This paper, therefore suggests an alternative approach of Network Structural-Based Technique (NSBT) for the analysis and enhancement of…
