Smart grid is considered as future grid having numbers of advantages, not only for owners but customers also. One of the advantages of this future grid is, it is more reliable and environment-friendly grid as it helps to reduce greenhouse gases emission by integrating renewable energy sources with it. Renewable integration brings lots of benefits but before that numbers of challenges are needed to be solved and hence large-scale renewable penetration is considered as one of the biggest challenges to future smart grid. Researches are going on to deal with these hurdles and to make this integration obstacle-free. This paper presents a literature survey on these challenges and their possible solutions to give a brief view on current research scenario on this topic.

“…Although the initial investment is considerable, strategically deploying FACTS devices in optimized locations proves essential for maximizing costeffectiveness [2] . The function of FACTS devices encompasses various aspects such as altering line reactance, controlling voltage levels, supplying both active and reactive power, and adjusting voltage angles at different bus locations [3] . Their application is particularly advantageous in congested systems, where they enhance voltage stability and ensure uninterrupted power supply [4,5] .…”

The shift towards deregulation in modern power systems has sparked intense competition within energy markets, leading to a surge in system congestion. This surge not only jeopardizes the reliability and security of the system but also escalates energy costs. To tackle this challenge, an effective approach involves adjusting generator schedules, albeit at a higher expense. However, the emergence of sophisticated power electronic devices, such as Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices, presents a promising avenue to mitigate the necessity for generator rescheduling. These FACTS devices play a pivotal role in optimizing the overall power distribution by curbing power losses. This study delves into leveraging FACTS devices to cut down on generation costs by tackling congestion in deregulated power systems. Specifically, we strategically integrate Static Var Compensators (SVC) and Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensators (TCSC) to alleviate overloading. To pinpoint the optimal locations and fine-tune parameters for these FACTS devices, we propose employing the JAYA Optimization algorithm. This approach is geared towards enhancing the efficacy of these devices in managing system congestion.

“…The compensation technologies can help in reducing the congestions in overloaded power line(s), it can contribute in reducing the thermal loading and hence increasing the lifetime of power line(s). The transient performance of the power lines can also be improved with appropriate control of compensation systems during sudden load disturbances [8]. The compensation technique has the capability in controlling the power angles between the two buses for managing the power injection from the intermittent renewable energy sources [9].…”

In a deregulated electrical energy system with increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, rescheduling of the power generation(s) is required, and it is going to congest some of the power lines in the complex power system. The power flow can be managed using different compensating techniques. This study presents power flow management analysis using selected compensation technologies (i.e. series, shunt, series-shunt, and D-FACTS) for congestion alleviation. In this work, an IEEE 6 bus distributed network is used and the mentioned compensating techniques are evaluated for congestion management considering a case of power line outage. It is observed some of the power lines are overloaded by 10%. To reduce the overloading; the series, shunt, series-shunt, D-FACTS compensation technologies are used and found that they can reduce the active power overloading of the congested line by 27%, 9.5%, 12%, and 27% respectively. But the apparent power congestions can be reduced using series and D-FACTS techniques by 14% compare to shunt and series-shunt techniques. It is affirmed that the D-FACTS can effectively manage the power flow compare to other compensation techniques and can offer other benefits (e.g. voltage quality, line power flows, injection of power at the buses, reduction in power losses, etc.).
