Optimal Location of the Facts Devices using the Sensitivity Approach for the Enhancement of ATC and Voltage Profile in Deregulated Power System

Abstract

The need for the enhancement of the Transfer Capability in a deregulated power system is very essential in the power market. Available Transfer capability (ATC), and Total Transfer capability (TTC), enhancement ensures to increase the Transfer capability in a power system. Improvement of the TTC and ATC depends upon the placement of the FACTS device; sensitivity approach is used to locate the optimal location to place FACTS device. However enhancement of ATC and TTC with voltage analysis is very essential, this helps us to estimate the security of the system which is very crucial when the performance of the system is the major criteria. Repeated power flow program is used to calculate the voltage constrained ATC and TTC. Transfer capability and voltage analysis proposed in this paper are simulated in the power world simulator software.

Available Transfer Capability Enhancement by FACTS Devices Using Metaheuristic Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (MEEPSO) Technique

“…There is a lack of methods that can imbibe the quality of sensitivity factors and, at the same time, prove that the reactive power losses are reduced and congestion is minimized by reduction of real power [11,54,55].…”
