“…The work in [27] evaluates the effect of the SVC and the thyristor controlled phase angle regulator (TCPAR) on the power system reliability by evaluating the EENS using MCS. On the other hand, the study in [28] qualitatively analyzes the operation of an SVC and its ability to provide voltage support in normal operating conditions as well as contingency situations. It also provides a detailed analysis and real life experience events related to failures in the operation of SVCs, outlining the main factors contributing to such failures, and hence affecting its reliability.…”

Due to the increased demand on electric power, power systems have become highly stressed. This has caused the frequent occurrence of cascading failures, where the failure of one line leads to a series of failures causing a system blackout. Adding high speed control of different electrical parameters of the power system can help improve the reliability of the power system and relieve some of that stress. In this research, the effects of adding static VAR compensators (SVCs) and distributed generation units has been studied from a reliability perspective. Since installing this equipment can be expensive, an algorithm has been developed to obtain the optimal bus location to install such devices, such that reliability is improved. Furthermore, Monte Carlo simulation is used to provide a measure for the improvement in system reliability in the presence of transmission line failures. Results show that injecting real and reactive power generally improves system reliability. However, increasing the amount of injection and increasing the number of buses injected to indefinitely does not necessarily enhance the reliability of the system any further. As such, caution must be exercised when deploying SVCs or distributed generation sources when the goal is to improve system reliability.

“…A SVC, typically shunt connected, consists of thyristor switched capacitors and thyristor switched reactors, as shown in Figure 1. The amount of reactive power delivered by the device can vary continuously between the inductive and capacitive ranges of the equipment [10]. The SVC compensator is usually shunt installed and is operated to control voltage at a specific bus in the transmission system.…”

This research proposes a new approach for the problem of FACTS equipment optimal location in a transmission system. SVC and TCSC devices help to increase the controllability of flow over the lines and at the same time enhance the system stability. A meta-heuristic algorithm is developed to efficiently find a good quality solution. The meta-heuristic evaluates in one objective function both the steady state benefits and stability enhancement that the device or devices provide to the system. There is no limit of FACTS that may be installed in the system as long as each one justifies its investment cost by a reduction on the overall generation costs and losses in a 5 term year period. The Matlab toolbox, PSAT, is used to run the necessary routines in order to evaluate the objective function. PSAT runs the dynamic and steady state routines. The implemented algorithm finds good quality solutions that optimize the betterments that FACTS provide to the transmission systems and is tested over a 9-bus and a 39-bus test system obtaining satisfactory results.
