Abstract :
From the viewpoint of operational planning, this paper focuses on the evaluation of the impact of FACTS control on available transfer capability (ATC) enhancement. Technical merits of FACTS technology on ATC boosting are analyzed. An optimal power-flow-based ATC enhancement model is formulated to achieve the maximum power transfer of the specified interface with FACTS control. For better studying the capability of FACTS control, a power injection model of FACTS devices, which enables simulating the control of any FACTS devices, is employed. Studies based on the IEEE 118-bus system with all categories of FACTS devices demonstrate the effectiveness of FACTS control on ATC enhancement.
