“…Load varies in a window around the forecast hourly loads, which is found using the neural network approach [27]. An ARMA (4,3) stochastic process is fitted to the normalized historic wind speeds, which are then used to calculate wind turbine active power outputs in each hour t [23].…”

“…Several approaches for optimal placement and sizing of FACTS were developed, with the objective to minimize real power losses [18], to improve system loadability [19] and to minimize the total fuel cost [20]. Interactions between FACTS and renewable sources are analysed in [21][22] [23]; however, the optimal locations and performance of FACTS are evaluated for intact networks only. Finally, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no research was done to investigate the combined impact of SVCs, TCSCs and RTTRs on the maximum utilization of wind energy sources.…”

Abstract-The paper proposes a probabilistic methodology for minimizing wind spillage and maximizing capacity of the deployed wind generation, whilst improving system reliability. Capacities of the connected wind units are initially determined by using a method developed by the industry. A probabilistic approach is applied for the day-ahead planning to find maximum deployable wind sources so that the prescribed wind spillage is not exceeded. This is done using the optimum power flow, where wind spillages are prioritised with the probabilistic 'cost coefficients'. Further improvement of wind energy utilization is achieved by installing FACTS devices and making use of realtime thermal ratings (RTTR). Two ranking lists are developed to prioritize location of SVCs and TCSCs, and they are then combined into a unified method for best FACTS placement. The entire methodology is realized in two sequential Monte Carlo procedures, and the probabilistic results are compared with the state enumeration ones. Results show improved wind utilization, network reliability and economic aspects.

“…The series reactance of the line in which TCSC is installed would not be fully compensated with the series capacitance of the TCSC in order to avoid the series resonance. Therefore, resultant reactance of TCSC

\begin{matrix} x_{italicit}^{italicTCSC} = k_{italicit}^{italicTCSC} x_{l} i = 1, 2, \dots, N_{l}, t = 1, 2, \dots, T \\ - 0.8 \leq k_{italicit}^{italicTCSC} \leq 0.5 \end{matrix}

“…Based on the above descriptions, the model of FACTS devices and wind generation have been specified. During the day, available wind power at the output of the farms is calculated using (1). So, in the proposed MPOPF model, the optimal parameter settings of FACTS devices for each hour are determined such that the amount of wind curtailment defined as the difference between the dispatched wind power and available wind power is reduced as much as possible.…”

Summary In recent years, wind energy has a remarkable growth, and the power systems tend to increase the integration of wind power source. However, the existing power systems are not compatible with the effects resulted by the highly integrated wind power sources. Because of the transmission congestion, available produced wind power is not able to be fed into the grid. This paper presents the application of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices for mitigating the wind power curtailment. A framework of multi period optimal power flow problem (MPOPF) is derived for a wind integrated power system. FACTS devices are utilized in such a way that the total wind curtailment during a specific time horizon is reduced. The proposed MPOPF is tested on modified IEEE 30‐bus load flow test system. It is shown that the amount of curtailed wind power is significantly reduced when FACTS devices are optimally allocated. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Conventional energy resource problems made power system planners apply more renewable energy sources (RESs) in the power system. RESs have a significant impact on fulfilling the world's energy demand, protecting the environment at least in the exploration phase, and providing energy reliability as well as security for the new generation of power grids. In this regard, wind power generation is considered a promising solution. However, by increasing the share of wind power generation units in the power sector, some challenges, such as voltage problems, transient stability, increasing system losses, and line congestions can occur. Consequently, an alternative solution is required to accelerate wind power units' connections to the grid by preventing the problems caused by the penetration of wind power. In this regard, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices can play an important role while they can improve power grid dynamic performance. This paper presents a review of the optimization techniques applied to accelerate the penetration of wind energy by exploiting FACTS devices. The topic identifies the objectives and optimization formulations, as well as schemes and models available in the published literature. This survey gives noteworthy insights to the researchers to cover available solutions in these regards. The literature in the field is summarized in different aspects, such as FACTS technology, objective functions, constraints, optimization methods, planning or operation purposes, and load flow types. At each aspect, a comparison is derived to recognize the most important issues. The result of the review is the finding of future work and contributions which can be done in the field of wind energy integration acceleration using FACTS devices and the output of the paper can be used as a guide for researchers to find a new path for research in this area.
