“…In [27], a real power flow performance index (PI) was used to determine the suitable locations of TCSC and TCPAR for TTC enhancement. In [28], the RPF method combined with a sensitivity index of the loading margin to the transmission line impedances were used to determine the location of the TCSC for maximizing the TTC. However, these methods may not lead to the optimal solution because of their dependency on system topology and loading conditions.…”

Congestion management is one of the most challenging aspects in the recently deregulated electricity markets. FACTS devices have been shown to be an efficient alternative to control the flow of power in lines, resulting in increased loadability, lower system loss and a reduced cost of production. In this paper, the application of a static series synchronous compensator (SSSC) for the purpose of congestion management of power systems has been studied. A sensitivity-based analysis method is utilized for effective determination of the SSSC location in an electricity market. The method is topology based and it is independent of the system operation point. A power injection π-model is developed for the SSSC in this study. Numerical results based on the modified IEEE 14 bus system with/without the SSSC demonstrate the feasibility as well as the effectiveness of the SSSC for congestion management in a network. The results obtained when using the SSSC to improve system transfer capability and congestion management is encouraging.

The role of flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTSs) in the provision of grid services is becoming increasingly important, due to the massive integration of intermittent renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and the decommissioning of thermal plants. A comprehensive literature review of grid services offered by FACTS is performed, focusing on the different grid services that they can provide, such as power flow control, reactive power control, voltage control, power quality improvement, harmonic mitigation, improvement of transient stability, and damping of inter-area and intra-area oscillations. These grid services need to be realistically and economically validated in suitable testing environments. A review of relevant standards, guides, and the literature is performed, which covers the entire range from functional specification and factory testing up to the field testing of FACTS. Advanced industry practices, such as controller hardware in the loop (CHIL) testing of FACTS controllers by the manufacturer, and recent trends, such as CHIL testing of replica controllers by the owner, are underlined. Limitations of conventional testing and CHIL testing are explained and the use of power hardware in the loop (PHIL) simulation for FACTS testing is discussed. CHIL and scaled-down PHIL tests on a transmission static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) are performed and a comparison of the results is presented.

Abstract. In deregulated electricity market, most of the power transferred through the wheeling transaction. Hence, it is very important and necessary to determine the transfer capability of the transmission system before the power dispatch. Series FACTS devices such as Thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC), with its ability to directly control the power flow can be very effective to total transfer capability of transmission network. Proper location of TCSC plays key role in improving total transfer capability (TTC). From the viewpoint, this paper focuses on the evaluation of the impact of TCSC on TTC via optimal location. Evaluation total transfer capability using TCSC requires a two-step approach. First, the optimal location of the TCSC in the network must be ascertained by Min cut algorithm and then, the mathematical formulation of TTC using Repeated Power Flow (RPF) with fixed TCSC parameters is solved. The proposed method is tested and validated for locating TCSC in IEEE 14-, IEEE-30 bus test systems. Results show that the proposed method is capable of finding the best location for TCSC installation to improve total transfer capability.
