Because their capability to change the network parameters with a rapid response and enhanced flexibility, flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices have taken more attention in power systems operations as improvement of voltage profile and minimizing system losses. In this way, this paper presents a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) to solve optimal reactive power dispatch (OR...

facts technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. statcom is oneof the most important facts devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper statcom is used...

To meet with the ever-enhancing load demands, new transmission lines should be bolted-on in the existing power system but the economic and environmental concerns are major constraints to this addition. Hence utilities have to rely on the existent power system infrastructure with some modifications. To enhance controllability and boost power transfer potential of the existing power system the us...

in this paper, we present a new method to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of unifiedpower flow controller (upfc) for removing voltage violations and transmission lines overloading. upfc isconsidered as the most powerful member of the facts devices, that it can control shunt and series power flow.this option gives to upfc the power to control the voltage profile and transmi...

Due to the deregulation of the electrical market, difficulty in acquiring rights-of-way to build new transmission lines, and steady increase in power demand, maintaining power system stability becomes a difficult and very challenging problem. In large, interconnected power systems, power system damping is often reduced, leading to lightly damped electromechanical modes of oscillations. Implemen...

in this paper, power system restoration in the presence of svc and tcsc in partial outage conditions is considered and a new method for maximum load restoration using different control variables is presented. control variables are tap of transformers, generation rescheduling and operating points of facts devices. objective function is restored load (to be maximized) and constraints are voltage ...

Flexible ac Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices have emerged in power system because of the development of power electronics components for high voltage and power. The FACTS devices provide higher controllability in power systems by means of power electronic devices. Several FACTS equipments have been already introduced for various applications worldwide, and new types of FACTS are in the stag...

This paper presents Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based approach for the allocation & coordinated operation of multiple FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) devices for the economic operation as well as to increase power transfer capacity of an interconnected power system under different loading condition. The PSO based approach is applied on IEEE 30-bus system. The system is reactively ...

this paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. in this study, some facts (flexible ac transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. each device here is modeled as ...
