Abstract

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology is used for the transmission of bulk power with proper controllability. In this paper comparative analysis on power flow incorporating FACTS devices namely Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Var Compensator (SVC) in standard test system is carried out. Parameters like real power flow, voltage profile and losses in the test systems are compared by placing FACTS devices at different locations. Modeling of SVC and TCSC is done using Firing Angle model and Variable Reactance modeling techniques, respectively. These FACTS models are incorporated into Newton Raphson Power flow algorithm and the analysis is carried out.
