The continuous change in power demand and supply altered the power flow patterns in transmission networks in such a way that some of the corridors are lightly loaded and some of the corridors get over loaded. This raises serious challenge in operating the power system in secure and reliable manner. To cope with this problem Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) is used. It plays a very important role in improving the power system operating performance. In this paper load flow models for STATCOM and SVC have been developed. Power flow study of a five bus system is carried out with and without FACTS controllers. Results of the power flow studies are obtained with MATLAB programming.

The introduction of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) has added a new dimension in power system operation and planning. Various types of FACTS controllers such as static compensator (STATCOM), static synchronous series compensator (SSSC), thyristor control series compensator (TCSC), thyristor control phase shifter (TCPS), unified power flow controller (UPFC), etc. are successfully used by various researchers in order to get optimal performance of power system. In this chapter, the various population-based nature-inspired techniques such as grey wolf optimization (GWO), teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO), biogeography-based optimization (BBO), krill herd algorithm (KHA), chemical reaction optimization (CRO), and hybrid CRO (HCRO) are used to find the optimal size of TCSC and TCPS devices in order to find the optimum performance of IEEE 30-bus power system. The simulation results of various cases demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed techniques to solve TCSC-TCPS-based OPF and ORPD problems.

Nowadays in the restructured scenario, the main challenging objective of the modern power system is to avoid blackouts and provide uninterrupted quality power supply with dynamic response during emergency to improve power system security and stability. In this sense the convertible static compensator (CSC) that is the Generalized Inter line power flow controller (GIPFC), can control and optimize power flow in multi-line transmission system instead of controlling single line like its forerunner FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) controller. By adding a STATCOM (Static synchronous Shunt Converter) at the front end of the test power system and connecting to the common DC link of the IPFC, it is possible to bring the power factor to higher level and harmonics to the lower level and this arrangement is popularly known as Generalized Inter line power flow controller (GIPFC). In this paper a new concept of GIPFC based on incorporating a voltage source converter with zero sequence injection SPWM technique is presented for reinforcement of system stability margin. A detailed circuit model of modified GIPFC is developed and its performance is validated for a standard test system. Simulation is done using MATLAB Simulink.Index Terms—Convertible static controller, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS), Generalized Interline Power Flow Controller (GIPFC),STATCOM, SSSC, Reactive power compensation.

Power engineers are currently facing challenges to increase the power transfer capabilities of existing transmission system. Flexible AC Transmission system (FACTS) controllers can balance the power flow and thereby use the existing power system network most efficiently. Because of their fast response, FACTS controllers can also improve the stability of an electrical power system by helping critically disturbed generators to give away the excess energy gained through the acceleration during fault. Thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) is an important device in FACTS family, and is widely recognized as an effective and economical means to solve the power system stability problem. TCSC is used as series compensator in transmission system. In the present work a TCSC controller is designed and tested over a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) as well as a multi-machine power system. Detailed simulation studies are carried out with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the effect of the TCSC parameter variations over the system stability is studied.

The introduction of the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) in the power system reduces the losses, reduces the cost of the generation, improves the stability and also improves the load capability of the system. Some application of the Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) technologies to existing high voltage power system has proves the use of FACTS technology may be a cost effective option for power delivery system enhancement. Amongst various power electronic devices unified power flow controller (UPFC) may be considered to be a capable of regulating the power flow and minimizing the power loss simultaneously. Since for the cost effective application of the FACTS technology a proper selection of the number and the placement of these devices is required. The main aim of this paper is to propose the methodology based on the genetic algorithm, able to identify the optimal number and the location of the UPFC devices in an assigned power system network for maximizing system capabilities. In order to validate the usefulness of the approach suggested here is , a case study using a IEEE 30-bus power system is presented and discussed.

<span>The electricity companies enforced some legislation on the electricity consumption contracts because the electricity network cannot bear the increasing demands of consumers. Therefore, a new controlling system is required to improve the frequent variations of the power system operating point (OP). Consequently, the flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers should be able to integrate with recent OP. Coordination of FACTS controller is more sophisticated due to various OP and uncertainties parametric in cooperation with the non linearity of power system (PS). Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) plays very important role like the stability support of large and small transient-disturbance in PS. Therefore, the aim of this research is presents fuzzy logic (FL) with the PI controller (a novel controller) its ability to improve the performance of the power system along with the capability of switch irregular and rough actual world data. This new controlling system may be suitable for a wide range of applications especially the models which deal with huge and complicated data analysis. This new controller system carries out the adjustments of the voltage on DC capacitor under transient and steady-state conditions.</span>

This paper addresses the solution of load flow equa-tions for a power system with series flexible ac -transmission systems(FACTS) devices. A novel formulation of equations using dual state variables (current magnitude and angle) and dual controlvariables (series injected real power and series voltage in quadra-ture with current) for series devices is proposed. These specifica-tions can be related to transmission line loading and device limits.Specifications like power flow through a series device can also be handled using this formulation. The load flow equations are solved using Newton-Raphson technique. A decoupled formulation is also proposed. Case studies are carried out on IEEE test systems withseveral types of specifications to validate the method.

In this paper, the voltage stability of the power system is studied during fault conditions. Enhancement of the system’s stability will be achieved by utilizing Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers at the best place in the system. The optimum placement of (FACTS) controllers occurred on the most affected bus by the fault in the system (weakest bus). Two approaches have been used in this study to effectively obtain the best location of the (FACTS) controllers in the system. The first method is based on computing the deviation which occurs in the active power and reactive power due to the fault at each load bus at a time. Whereas the second method is performed through exploiting a MATLAB fuzzy set technique utilizing two indices: Line Flow Index (LFI) and Voltage Profile Index (VPI) during fault and steady-state conditions. The results show that both of these indices resulted in the same bus as the best location. Remedial actions in the attempt at improving in the stability of the power system are discussed taking the advantage of using (FACTS) compensation (SVC) and (STATCOM) at the most vulnerable system buses. In this work, MATLAB program with an IEEE 24 bus system is examined.
