My article addresses the qualities of “good” literature and how an understanding of the nature of literary devices, so-called “literariness”, can enhance the reading experience. Focusing on Hans Rosling’s Factfulness (2018), I discuss some of the most important features of good writing. Six literary devices have been selected for special attention: point of view, tone, amplification, anecdotes,...

With the ongoing expansion and growth of electric power industry, the use of power flow controllers is becoming more prevalent in modern power systems. The needs for system enhancement trigger the advancement of FACTS technology which offers superior features in increasing system stability and performance. Devices like TCSC can reduce line reactance significantly and thus enhance the maximum po...

This paper presents a novel method for optimal location of FACTS controllers in a multi machine power system using Genetic Algorithm(GA). Using the proposed method, the location of FACTS controller, their type and rated values are optimized simultaneously. Among the various FACTS controllers, Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Unified power Flow Controller (UPFC) are considered....

Worldwide, due to the abrupt growth of population, load demand has been rising dramatically in last few years. This led an increase branch overloads, voltage deviations, and power losses. These problems may result line outages or occurrence blackouts. Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices can be installed ensure increased flow capability flexible control address these issues. In this ...

This paper focuses on the performance analysis of FACTS devices namely SVC and TCSC in steady state power flow control. Application of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in a power system network is an efficient way for the control and transfer of bulk amount of power for long distances. The performance of SVC and TCSC for reactive power injection, real power flow, power loss and ...

The introduction of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) in a power system reduces the losses, reduces the cost of generation, and improves the stability also improves the load capability of the system. In this paper, a non-traditional optimization technique, genetic algorithm is used to optimize the various process parameters involved of FACTS devices in a power system The various parameter...

This paper introduces the severity of load (SOL) index technique for finding the optimal location of facts devices to achieve the optimal power flow. Objective function in the OPF, that is to be minimised, are overall cost functions which includes the total active power generation cost function. Among various controllers TCPST is considered and optimal location facts device is determined for im...

the Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) is a technology, which is based on power electronic devices, used to enhance the existing transmission capabilities in order to make the transmission system flexible and independent operation. The FACTS technology is a promising technology to achieve complete deregulation of Power System i.e. Generation, Transmission and Distribution as complete indiv...
