Abstract

Global concerns regarding climate change and sustainability have led to a recent worldwide push towards electricity derived from renewable and sustainable resources. Among all renewable resources, wind energy is one of the fastest growing worldwide, facing power system with new obstacles including transmission congestion. To mitigate transmission congestion and utilize current transmission system optimally, the restructured network with compensators is proposed as an alternative solution. Compensators are usually used to compensate active and reactive power and keep the stability of system on desired level. In this paper, we study the impact of FACTS devices like STATCOM and SVC on voltage profile, loading parameter and stability of a network integrated with wind resources.
