In emerging electric power systems, increased transactions often lead to the situations where the system no longer remains in secure operating region. The flexible Ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers can play an important role in the power system security enhancement. However, due to high capital investment, it is necessary to locate these controllers optimally in the power system. FACTS devices can regulate the active and reactive power control as well as adaptive to voltage-magnitude control simultaneously because of their flexibility and fast control characteristics. Placement of these devices in suitable location can lead to control in line flow and maintain bus voltages in desired level and so improve voltage stability margins.This paper proposes a systematic method by which optimal location of MUTI TYPE FACTS DEVICES to be installed. FACTS DEVICES model is incorporated into a NewtonRaphson algorithm to perform load flow analysis. Optimizing its location becomes a concern when coming to the practical implementation stage. Proposed algorithm is tested on IEEE 5 bus power system for optimal allocation of multi-type FACTS devices and results are presented.

“…The best location for a set of phase shifters was found by GA to reduce the flows in heavily loaded lines resulting in an increased loadability of the network and reduced cost of production. The best optimal location of FACTS devices in order to reduce the production cost along with the device's cost using real power flow performance index was reported [11]. In this paper, an approach to find the optimal location of thyristorcontrolled series compensator (TCSC), static var compensator (SVC) and unified power flow controller (UPFC) in the power system to improve the loadability of the lines and minimize the total loss using GA is presented.…”

“…While the strategy proposed in [15], comprised of the tabu search (TS) and a nonlinear programming method, was utilized to optimize FACTS devices investment and recovery. With the proposed performance indices of real power flows, the method developed in [16] was used to seek the optimal FACTS devices installation locations. Under the existing FACTS devices, in [17], the minimum generation cost based OPF problem was solved by the proposed hybrid of TS and simulated annealing (SA) algorithms.…”

-Instead of building new substations or transmission lines, proper installation of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices can make the transmission networks accommodate more power transfers with less expansion cost. In this paper, the problem to maximize power system loadability by optimally installing two types of FACTS devices, namely static var compensator (SVC) and thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC), is formulated as a mixed discrete-continuous nonlinear optimization problem (MDCP). To reduce the complexity of the problem, the locations suitable for SVC and TCSC installations are first investigated with tangent vector technique and real power flow performance index (PI) sensitivity factor and, with the specified locations for SVC and TCSC installations, a set of schemes is formed. For each scheme with the specific locations for SVC and TCSC installations, the MDCP is reduced to a continuous nonlinear optimization problem and the computing efficiency can be largely improved. Finally, to cope with the technical and economic concerns simultaneously, the scheme with the biggest utilization index value is recommended. The IEEE-14 bus system and a practical power system are used to validate the proposed method.
