Enhancing photovoltaic hosting capacity—A stochastic approach to optimal planning of static var compensator devices in distribution networks

Optimal Location of Static Var Compensator Device for Damping Oscillations

Problem statement: Static Var Compensators (SVC) devices are used to improve voltage and reactive power conditions in AC systems. An additional task of SVC is to increase transmission capacity as result of power oscillation damping. The effectiveness of this controller depends on its optimal location and proper signal selection in the power system network. A residue factor had been proposed to ...

Design of Microcontroller Based Static VAR Compensator

The change in system voltage and frequency with changing load creates problem in power system stability. For the sake of system stability and reliability, the reactive power compensation is essential for flexible AC transmission system (FACTS). The variation of reactive power causes impact on the generating units, lines, circuit breakers, transformers, relays and isolators. However the reactive...

Aspects concerning the Static Var Compensator

The paper presents some considerations regarding the structure and behaviour of the static var compensator (SVC). Thus, starting from a structure of the compensator it determinates the fundamental impedance of the SVC and it analyses the dependence of the impedance v.s. the components elements (C, R, Lc). Also, it has been realised and the analyses regarding the overvoltages which can appears o...

A Novel Stochastic Framework for the Optimal Placement and Sizing of Distribution Static Compensator

This paper proposes a new stochastic framework based on the probabilistic load flow to consider the uncertainty effects in the Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) allocation and sizing problem. The proposed method is based on the point estimate method (PEM) to capture the uncertainty associated with the forecast error of the loads. In order to explore the search space globally, a new opt...
