The use of FACTS devices in power systems has become increasingly popular recent years, as they offer a number benefits, including improved voltage profile, reduced losses, and increased system reliability safety. However, determining the optimal type, location, size can be challenging optimization problem, it involves mixed integer, nonlinear, nonconvex constraints. To address this issue, rese...

Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) are a useful tool for power system stability improvement and control. This research developed new algorithm optimal placement of FACTS devices named the Filter Feeding Allogenic Engineering (FFAE) inspired by filter feeding motile behaviour Engineers.Kenya’s 87-Bus, 25-Generator, 132 kV 220 transmission network was used as test case in Ma...

This paper presents voltage stability in an electrical network when connected by wind generators. Due to several advantages wind energy is the growing renewable energy. Nowadays, wind energy is penetrating into the conventional power network. Due to random variations in wind speed, the output power and terminal voltage fluctuates continuously. The influence of wind generators on the power quali...

This paper proposes a systematic analysis and design procedure for simultaneously determining the best locations and input signals of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices in order to damp out inter-area oscillations. First, a modified modal power flow oscillation flow method is developed to determine the nature of the energy exchange over the transmission network in the presence of F...

Like many other countries, Australia is increasingly being forced to face the spiralling costs of health care. Population increases, an aging population, and the high cost of many items of modern medical equipment and of medical care generally, have all contributed to the pressure on health care resources. Within this climate of resource scarcity, more and more questions are being asked about t...

In this paper a new and efficient method for the reliable load flow solution of power network branches controlled by flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) is presented. In the various methods proposed in past, the formulations was derived in which the Jacobian matrix is in UDU form, where U is a constant upper triangular matrix depending solely on system topology and D is a block diagonal ma...

in this paper, the performance of two types of facts devices in order to enhance the power system static voltage stability has been investigated. these devices include static var compensator (svc) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (tcsc). the modeling of the single machine infinite bus (smib) and aforesaid devices has been made up in steady state mode with disregarding of the generator ...
