Abstract:Power system stability is defined as the ability of power system to preserve its steady stability or recover the initial steady state after any deviation of the system's operation. Present time power systems are being operated nearer to their stability limits due to economic and environmental reasons. Maintaining a stable and secure operation of a power system is therefore a very important and challenging issue. Transient stability has been given much attention by power system researchers and planners in recent years, and is being regarded as one of the major sources of power system insecurity. Shunt FACTS devices play an important role in improving the transient stability, increasing transmission capacity and damping low frequency oscillations. In this work 11-bus power system network has been modeled using MATLAB SIMULINK software. The power system network under study consist of three units of power plant each producing 20 KV and step up by two winding transformer to 230 KV. For parallel operation of two different power plants, the frequency and the terminal voltage has been kept constant to avoid circulating current in the existing network. A Static VAR Compensator and a series compensator have been used in the considered network for improving the transient stability and to increase the transmission capacity of the system.
